CUPERTINO, California, October 17, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — Apple banned a pro-life mobile application after abortion supporters complained, even though the app was approved and previously offered on its App Store.
Human Coalition (HC) created a mobile app that sends prayer alerts to intercessors and church groups.
“Human Coalition’s prayer app is a platform where pro-life advocates can gather together in prayer for abortion-determined women and their children and families,” HC’s public relations director Lauren Enriquez told LifeSiteNews. “Our supporters have found the app helpful in their mission to extend all forms of support, including prayer support, to the women and children we serve and rescue.”

That availability is subversive to their State and they don’t want to touch a device that can have that kind of stuff on it. It makes them shudder.

Why are liberals better at getting stuff like this killed than we are at keeping it available?
(Because the company agrees with the liberals I reckon)
The app is still in the Google play store, and the makers of the app dispute Apple’s contention that the app violates its standards for inclusion in the Apple app store.
liberal b!tching gets press coverage, conservatives don’t that is why.
Just another example of tyranny by a minority.
All tyrannies are minorities.
will apple remove planned parenthood apps when people complain?
Does that mean if we object to apps conservatives find offensive Apple will remove them? Is it even worth wasting any time on?
Lest anyone doubt the Left’s plunge into the depths of evil.
