Pro-Choice Ad Bans

The NGO Marie Stopes Commercial Creates Controversy in the UK

'NGO Marie Stopes' is an organization which keeps adults informed when it comes to pregnancy inquiries. Realizing that less than half of the adult population in the UK is aware of their professional consult options, the group decided to create a commercial about unplanned pregnancy to be aired May 24th, 2010.

This ad has already been banned in some areas of the UK because of its supposed implications towards the concept of abortion. However, the 'NGO Marie Stopes' organization argues that it is simply trying to provide information to those who need it. Would you want this ad to be aired where you live?
