        <description><![CDATA[<p>So I just received an email from Google that they have "rejected" advertising for CD due to deceptive content. (For the record, I've not advertised for CD for many months...)</p><p>Therefore, it is clear that Google's policies must have changed, and that they now apply the new policies to old advertising contracts. And CD is not alone. Google and YouTube now seem to reject Christian advertisers pretty consistently.</p><div data-embedjson="{&quot;body&quot;:&quot;A policy by Google aimed at preventing ads from pro-life crisis pregnancy centers aimed at steering women away from abortion clinics has hit a loophole, according to a report by The Guardian.&quot;,&quot;photoUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cdn.christianpost.com\/files\/original\/thumbnail\/23\/25\/232598.jpg&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.christianpost.com\/news\/google-ad-policy-meant-to-hinder-pro-life-pregnancy-center-results-hits-snag.html&quot;,&quot;embedType&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Google ad policy meant to hinder pro-life pregnancy center results hits snag&quot;}">

 - Uses false claims or claims that entice the user with an improbable result (even if this result is possible) as the likely outcome that a user can expect
 - Falsely implies affiliation with, or endorsement by, another individual, organization, product, or service
