What a load of crap. Verizon knows they will get a lot of cancellations if people start getting pro abortion text msgs on their phones.

>>>>“This is right at the heart of the problem,” said Susan Crawford, a visiting professor at the University of Michigan law school, referring to the treatment of text messages. “The fact that wireless companies can choose to discriminate is very troubling.”

I don't think that these are "unsolicited" messages. Users have to send a message to NARAL via text message to sign up for these messages from NARAL. Verizon is just not allowing NARAL to use Verizon's network for this purpose. I don't really see a problem with this.

But I’m sure the U of M would never discriminate against people like David Horowitz and groups like the ROTC and LifeChoices. And I suppose if the fairness doctrine passes, NARAL will gladly broadcast pro-life messages, too, right?

Eff you Susie Q. No company has to pass your pro-murder messages.
