Company stops placing abortion-rights groups’ billboards after misinformation complaint – By Catrina Petersen (The Center Square) / March 29, 2024
Danek said abortion groups aren’t held to task when spreading misinformation.
Nebraska Right to Life pushed Lamar Advertising in the fall of 2023 to not renew contracts with abortion-rights groups. Now, that same advertising company refuses to run abortion-rights groups’ billboards in Chicago.
In September 2023, Nebraska Right to Life fought to get an abortion-rights’ group’s billboard stating Nebraska “women are going to jail because of Nebraska’s abortion ban” removed. Lamar Advertising eventually agreed the billboard could have been misinformation and didn’t renew its contract with a Washington D.C. abortion-rights group called Free and Just.
Nebraska Right to Life Executive Director Sandy Danek said she’s not sure if Lamar is necessarily taking a position on abortion by refusing to renew the contract with Free and Just.
