You Tube Responds to Storm of Protest: Restores American Life League's Expose' of Planned Parenthood

Michael Hichborn, Director of Media Relations for American Life League sent over a piece of very welcome news last night about You Tube's "reconsideration" of their dropping ALL's expose' of Planned Parenthood. The full news release is here but let me thank all Vital Signs Blog visitors who took action from our blog post of Wednesday. Your efforts were part of the firestorm that moved You Tube to correct their monumental mistake.

Jim Sedlak, ALL's vice president, said, "Once word got out that YouTube had allowed the Planned Parenthood ads our report was based on to remain on their site, while at the same time censoring our report, a flurry of e-mails, blog posts, and complaints from the pro-life community pressured YouTube into reversing their decision.We are pleased that YouTube has reversed their decision to remove our video. Our ALL News Report was neither objectionable nor inappropriate. While it is unfortunate that YouTube chose this tactic in the first place, it is encouraging to note that they corrected their poor decision in a timely fashion.”
