Yesterday, Verizon had said they would not allow NARAL Pro Choice America, the leading pro-choice group in the country, to use their networks to send text messages for subscribers who wanted to sign up for them. Today, they blamed that decision on an old policy that was written before texting was mainstream and when there weren't spam guards for texts. They have now decided they will let the opt-in texting from NARAL to happen.To me this seems like alarmist reporting - there's a lot of attention being given to the fact that Verizon will allow it now, as if the reversal is a political statement. Every other carrier allowed it to begin with, so Verizon adjusting their policies to keep up with the times doesn't seem like it should be big news, in my opinion.
