AIBU to not want them on my facebook?

They appear on the side of my home page with other ads and upset me.
I don't agree with them (and as an aside am in ireland, the ad is for the irish pro lifers speaking out against abortion, terminations are illegal here)
I have had 2 miscarriages in the last year and do not want to see pics of feotuses.

Have reported but it still happens.

really! Facebook will allow pictures of Foetuses but not breastfeeding! FFS!

I think a company or organisation can buy access to a certain facebook demographic, in this case Irish women of child bearing age, so their ads will show up on your page. But I'm not sure if you as a facebook user have any rights over which ads are targetted towards you.

It would piss me off too. But hey it's a great day for the island of Ireland as the first abortion clinic opens in Belfast. A step forward.

Bloody hell....that's obscene, OP. Really.

I know you'd rather not look, but if you just keep ticking each one off and choosing the "offensive" reason you may start seeing these less.
