Dear Editor,
I understand that the full color flyer inserted into Monday’s paper was a paid ad against abortion. However, the only identifying feature was the website Nucleus Medical Art from which the images were taken.
I believe there is a law that requires that political ads must carry the name of the ad sponsor(s). As this ad is clearly political, in the full sense of the word, I look forward to the Daily Forty-Niner informing us as to the sponsoring individual(s) or organization of this paid advertisement.

The Editor responds:
The Daily Forty-Niner’s policy is to print the source of every advertisement. The business manager mistakenly thought Nucleus Medical Art was the source of the insert advertisement in Monday’s paper.
The person who purchased the advertisement and who now requests anonymity has been advised that anonymity will not be possible in future ads. The Daily Forty-Niner regrets the oversight.

Then why not include a flyer showing the procedural practices of organ transplants, euthanasia, capital punishment, medically determined birth terminations, etc. to protect and inform "people not wanting to see the outcome"? Your assertion that the clearly pro-life ad was not a form of ideological agenda setting is preposterous. Spending 20 years to push for an overturn of Roe v Wade is obsessive/compulsive, showing you and your colleague are nut jobs with no grasp of women's rights. You're both sick because the aim was for shock value.
