Abortion advertising, right or wrong??  email this discussion to a friend?

Hi,

I have just been reading the news and British TV is going to start TV advertising for abortions. Although I have a strong belief that everyone is entitled to make their own choices regardless of whether society believes them to be wrong or right, the fact that this will be openly advertised doesn't sit well with me.

I have a 12 year old girl who is fully aware of sex education etc however I feel these ads may give out the wrong impression to the younger members of society eg "it's ok if you make a mistake, we'll fix it".

What do you think? Is it right to advertise such a matter openly on TV?? Even after the watershed, most kids are up or watching TV in their rooms or have access to the internet! Is it something that is already advertised in our country?

Thanks for the response,

Outside influences have a huge impact on the choices we all make in life. I just think the message is slightly wrong with the ads.

Have fun

Ok so all your mistakes were a result of your parents "not being parents"??? I know I can't blame my parents because of the choices I made. I, like anyone has their own mind from an early age and if you want to do something, regardless of your told is right or wrong you'll do want you want in the end.

I am not against abortion I just think these ads send the wrong message!!

I cannot Police my daughter 24/7 nor can any other parent. I'm lucky to have a very close relationship with my eldest daughter & she tells me whats going on in her life. I'm insulted by the suggestion I am not a PARENT.

To my opinion, it proves that England is not a Christian country anymore. You would never see a advertisment like that in the USA or Israel.
You can tell your daughter that my sister in law in Las Vegas had 5 abortions between the age of 14 till she got married and she became sterile. Abortions are extremely dangerous for the fertility. Even 1 abortion can cause a complete sterility. And then she made IVF, but one on the children was abnormal.

show me the medical evidence for this. there is very little connection between safe and properly performed abortions and sterility.

I think that to advertise abortions in the United Kingdom would be very bad indeed. The other day I read just how many teenagers have an abortion and it is shocking. I think advertising a responsible attitude and birth control would be far better. I know that no form of birth control is 100% effective so that is the message that should be given to the young people. Abortion is not morally right. It is killing an innocent little person. I know that some young people are told if they get pregnant they can have an abortion to get their life back on track. They are not told of the regret they might suffer or the years of depression. A teenager that has an abortion can't turn the clock back once she has an abortion. In the United Kingdom is it sad that abortion is allowed right up to 24 weeks pregnancy. I wonder if birth control should be given to all teenagers just in case. Free pregnancy tests should be given to teenagers that think they might be pregnant. When pregnant a teenager knows her options are: keep her baby and she should learn about the support, abortion or adopt her baby. I think adoption should become more popular. I would like to see 98% of abortions stop happening and only for special reasons would abortions be available. Advertising a biscuit makes it sound tempting but abortion adverts would be terribly wrong for all young people to see.

Abortion has always existed but was done in very poor hygiene condition, so that the mother would die. It was also punished by death penalty. For instance in the beginning of XX century in France, three people would die, the foetus, but also the mother and the lady doing the abortion were beheaded with the famous guillotine. Now it became extremely easy to do abortion. I can say that me and my wife are against abortion because there are other solutions, like adoption. My sister in law became sterile because of too many abortion.

I have a theory that most of the time people making abortion are leftists or atheists, while religious or right wing almost don't do it. So at the end there will be less leftists and atheists in the world because they abort they children or become sterile. I think the British will be punished because they advertise abortions. They will be certainely less British in the world.

So this should be the real punishment for people who kill foetuses. It is impossible to make it illegal or to punish it with jail or death penalty like it was done before.

First of all, I am totally not in favor of abortion. Therefore, advertising it is a big NO NO for me. I've seen a documentary about abortion being advertised online; there are even forums discussing this. You know what, that was very disturbing. I don't know if they are still able to sleep at night.

I was shocked to hear this. I cannot ever agree or understand how any mother-to-be can manage to make such a decision as to abort her child. I just cannot undertsand it, it is inconceivable... how can you kill a baby, under any circumstance? And now I am seeing your discussion regarding advertising abortion and I am thinking that the world is really full of evil... such advertising will aid in increaing cases of abortion = which are killing cases. A doctor does so much to save a life and now we are promoting killing??? Where will all this lead to? Evil and despair.


myLot reputation of 50/100. iridium (332)  2 years ago

so i can't imagine not aborting a child. how could you do that to your body? destroy your life like that? its repellent!
