Advertising for abortion facilities may soon be coming to the UK:
In Great Britain, the Committee of Advertising Practice and the Broadcast Committee of Advertising Practice have embarked on a 12-week consultation to determine whether abortion facilities should be allowed to advertise on television. The consultation is an attempt to respond to the British government’s resolution to combat rising teenage pregnancy, and the committees are considering approval of both pro-choice and pro-life ads. If approved, only the pro-life clinics will be required to spell out their convictions, as well as the possible medical complications of delaying one’s decision to abort; abortion facilities will not have to address the possible complications that attend aborting a child.

I am a Pro-Life person. Although their motive is to decrease the rate of teenage pregnancies, For me I’d rather not allow it to advertise because it just drew favourable attention to murder.

Here’s the thing about lowering teen pregnancy – an abortion is just eliminating a pregnancy, not taking care of the fact that there was in fact a pregnancy in the first place.
