Clear Channel, the conservative-leaning media behemoth, has pulled two ads for a Kansas women's health clinic off the air after claiming the radio spots violated the company's "decency standards."
The South Wind Women's Center in Wichita opened in the wake of the 2009 murder of George Tiller to ensure women had continued access to comprehensive reproductive health services in in the state, which is exactly what they advertised in the radio spots.

South Wind Women’s Center was founded to reestablish full access to reproductive healthcare.

South Wind Women’s Center: entrusting women with their own medical decision-making.
