Website monitored

On the organization's web site are posted positive comments about CBR's methods, including comments of women who say that they finally realized that they had been misled about abortion, that they used to be pro-choice but now would never have an abortion, that they have cancelled abortions due to CBR's work. The group controls which comments are displayed. [4] Some of those women say that they saw CBR photos outside an abortion clinic, and therefore refused to continue with the abortions they had planned to obtain.

I don't understand why this paragraph needs to mention that "The group controls which comments are displayed." - that's the case for every website. The only reason why this is mentioned is to discredit the group. It would be fairer to say, "Pro-choice advocates argue that these images hurt women who've had abortions." http://www.prochoiceactionnetwork-canada.org/articles/gap.shtml#incite

Controvery needs references

"The CBR has controversially compared Nazi genocide victims to aborted fetuses, in the context of its "Genocide Awareness Project." This infers that CBR is comparing pro-choice activists to Nazis. They have also been criticized for their use of a sixteen year old definition of genocide."

The last sentence needs a reference and an explanation about why using a definition from Webster’s New World Encyclopedia is wrong. Frankly, the definition of genocide has grown not narrowed, from its definition of solely killing an ethnic/religious group to include socio-economic groups (Cambodian Genocide) and even cultures (Aboriginal groups in Canada).

It's essential to know who has made this criticism and why their criticism warrants recognition on this wiki page, otherwise this is just a throw-away sentence that should be thrown away.
