OSHKOSH, Wis. -- The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh newspaper has rejected an anti-abortion advertisement as too controversial.The Advance-Titan decided not to run the 12-page insert from the Human Life Alliance. The advertisement, called iCare, contains information about abortion, its side effects, contraception, the development of a pre-born child and adoption.Virginia Zignego, a spokeswoman for Pro-Life Wisconsin, said the newspaper's decision to reject the advertisement demonstrates its bias and amounts to censorship.Vince Filak, the newspaper's faculty adviser, said the paper's decision was fully discussed. He calls it the perfect Catch-22 because accepting the ad would have upset people too.Zignego said UW campuses in Whitewater, Eau Claire, La Crosse and River Falls have run the insert or agreed to run it.
