The social media network Twitter refused to run another pro-life advertisement this fall, this time from pro-life Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn.
Blackburn announced her plans to run for U.S. Senate last week in her home state of Tennessee. On Monday, however, her campaign said Twitter refused to allow it to advertise a video where Blackburn mentions the abortion chain Planned Parenthood and its sales of aborted baby body parts, the Tennessean reports.
The Tennessee Republican has established herself as a champion for the rights of unborn babies. The eight-term congresswoman has a 100-percent pro-life voting record.
Most recently, she chaired the U.S. House Select Panel on Infant Lives, which investigated Planned Parenthood’s sales of aborted baby body parts. In January, the committee sent numerous criminal and regulatory referrals to federal and state officials regarding Planned Parenthood and other groups involved in the baby body parts trade.
It was this reference to her work that Twitter opposed in the online ad.

“I know the left calls me a wing-nut or a knuckle-dragging conservative,” Blackburn said in the video. “And you know what? I say, that’s all right, bring it on. I’m 100-percent pro-life. I fought Planned Parenthood and we stopped the sale of baby body parts, thank God.”

Here’s more from the report:
Blackburn’s campaign announced Twitter’s decision on Monday after a representative of Twitter informed her campaign that the line “had been deemed an inflammatory statement that is likely to evoke a strong negative reaction.” The language violates Twitter’s policy for advertisements, the company said.
“If this is omitted from the video it will be permitted to serve,” Dianna Colasurdo of Twitter said in an email to a political ad agency working for the campaign.Life News continues
