Ads to premier in the UK

How exactly is this not promoting abortion?

The advert from Marie Stopes will be screened on Monday, offering what the organisation says will be “clear, non-judgmental information” on unplanned pregnancies and abortion services.

Marie Stopes said it took the decision to screen the commercial after a study found fewer than half of UK adults knew where to go for specialist advice about an unplanned pregnancy other than their GP.

Asking your family doctor seems like a good place to turn when you want personalized health advice. At least your GP will understand your medical history and family background. Something tells me a ‘specialist clinic’ will want less information.

    I got pregnant in my next-to-last year of university. Went to University Health Services. The ob-gyn asked how I felt about it. I told him that I would be happy about it eventually, but wasn’t yet. He said that was normal, and went on to examine me.

    When the exam was finished, he said “You know, abortion is a very personal, private decision between a woman and her doctor.” That was it. He didn’t suggest I talk with my husband, my parents, a friend–just him, who would provide the abortion. He didn’t offer to let me see a counselor, or give me any idea how I should resolve those feelings. I probably would have been a good candidate for a crisis pregnancy centre, but he sure didn’t recommend one of those, and I was under the impression that they were for women without any support at all.

    So non-judgmental. They don’t know anything about you, and tell you about only one option.
