I understand geofencing and connecting devices to identities, but I don’t get the “delivers ads to smartphones” part.

They appear to be banner ads, so they’re not putting targeted ads on Facebook or Google. I didn’t think old-fashioned banner ads reached “normals” anymore.

I know the YN guidelines say to give preference to the story's original title, but "anti-choice" is a pretty loaded term.

In mainstream news coverage, the more neutral "anti-abortion" is typically used, as opposed to "anti-choice" or "pro-life."

What's wrong with just 'pro-life'?

The term "pro-life" is intended to imply that opposing points of view are "anti-life" or "pro-death" in exactly the same way that "pro-choice" is intended to imply that opposing points of view are "anti-choice."
