Plan to allow abortion TV advertizing is criticized

The plan to allow pregnancy advisory services and abortion clinics to advertize on TV and radio was announced earlier this year by the Committee of Advertising Practice and the Broadcast Committee of Advertizing Practice. They believe it could reduce the UK’s teenage pregnancy rate – the highest in Europe – and sexually-transmitted infections. Dr Mark Pickering says, 'Allowing abortion services to advertize on TV would then be saying, “Here is a quick medical fix for the consequences of having sex.” That is giving all the wrong messages and is very disturbing.’ Daily Mail
