Pro-life group. Fresno Bee clash over abortion ad
Anthony Mendoza, a spokesman for
[he Catholics United For Life (CUL),
: harged Saturday that the Fresno Bae'
was sympathetic to "baby murders." '   ■""
He accused the Bee of publishing-
deceptive" advertisements for an abor'--'
•ion clinic while simultaneously censoring
ids for his organization. ' '9
On Jan. 4,1983 the CUL attempted to
c>lace and anti-abortion ad in the Bee'
which displayed a picture of an alleged '
lull-term fetus in a pail. Underneath the
photo the caption read: "Abortion is the
.. ruel murder of defenseless babies such .
as the nameless boy above." '
The Bee censored the picture and
refused to print the caption.
According to Carter Roberson, Bee
business manager, the ad was "objec¬
tionable."
He said the Bee felt the picture was mbad
Mendoza said that although some peo¬
ple may have found the ad repulsive it was
still "the reality of abortion."
"We feel the Bee should have allowed
us to publish the picture of an aborted
baby since this is the truth of what an
abortion is," said Mendoza. "It seems like
'he Bee is jn favor of publishing ads for
abortionists, but they won't publish an
anti-abortion advertisement without cen¬
soring it heavily. They gave us several
hassles and a total of nine censorships."
Mendoza said it seemed ironic that the
Bee would run a full ad discussing the
sevices of an abortion clinic and ignore his
request for an ad that had the potential of
saving lives.
"There is no explanation for their
actions other than they are concerned
that this will affect.a major advertiser of
theirs — the California Pregnancy Coun¬
seling Service, which is where abortions
.are being done," said Mendoza.
Mendoza said that although he has
never tried to run that particular ad in any
newspaper be(orev"similar ads of aborted
babies were published in the San Fran¬
cisco ChronicieJ the Milwaukee
Journal and the Washing/on Post."
Roberson said, "the Bee is in noway
implying that it is an advocate of abortion,
but on the other hand the abortionists are
licensed by the state and have the right to
advertise."
He said the CUL has its own interpreta¬
tion of the situation, but the Bee has an
