A United Kingdom evangelical Christian charity has settled a legal complaint brought against Google after the company agreed in an out-of-court settlement to allow religious groups to place factual ads related to abortion. "As a result of the court action and other representations made to Google (NSDQ:GOOG) in recent months, Google has reviewed its AdWords policy to enable the Christian Institute and other religious associations to place ads on the subject of abortion in a factual and campaigning way," The Christian Institute said in a statement ."The new policy will apply world-wide with immediate effect. This is an important issue of free speech and religious liberty and we are pleased with Google's constructive response to this matter."
