More from the UK

April 22, 2009 by Andrea Mrozek 1 Comment

Abortion and condom advertising on TV at any time of day or night? That’s the debate in the UK.

There is a backlash to this idea as expressed in the article. Talk of “blushing” and “squirming.”

Well buck up, England. If you aren’t already blushing and squirming with what is on the television, then that is your first problem. Television is currently filled with all the acts that lead to the abortion clinic–let’s connect the dots, shall we? Say you’re watching Gossip Girl–a show about high school students having sex as far as I can tell–and it gets to the commercial break and there’s an ad for a pregnancy centre and an abortion clinic. Maybe you’d pause to consider what the ideas in hyper-sexualised Hollywood lead to. Sex can and frequently does lead to pregnancy–this is one of the great missing links on most television shows.

We have this quote from a pro-life advocate:

Ms. Aston, of Life, said, “Pro-life charities have no money, and pro-abortion charities have a lot. We will never be able to afford to advertise on television.”

Find the funding–there’s money out there–and create some really great ads. I’m sure it can be done.

I grant you that advertising abortion clinics would repulse me. But sex is advertised everywhere around me. Our society (advertising, the web, malls, TV shows) is well past the point of maintaining decorum and high moral standards everywhere else. So I’m sorry if I fail to get steamed about advertising on TV.

Getting back on track with regards to morals and sexuality will be a long hard road. I believe the UK has hit rock bottom. In that sense, this advertising debate is almost irrelevant.

Speechless

Caught this while perusing The Corner. I don’t know what to say.

Andrea adds: We’re speechless, apparently Manhattan Mini Storage is too. I just called the number on the ad, and was transferred to someone else in New Jersey. I asked (friendly, I promise) whether Mini Storage was actually working with pro-abortion forces or were they perhaps just given unfortunate placement on a billboard. She said it’s an old photograph and it’s not up in New York City today. And would say virtually nothing else–but she promised to call me back.

Now if you look at Mini Storage’s web site, you’ll note who they give money to if you contract with them for your storage needs. So pro-lifers will now know, well, not to.

Rebecca adds: Hey, they want to ban horse-drawn carriages. Surely if they want to stop domesticated beasts of burden from being used as beasts of burden, they would care that much more about unborn, you know, humans, right?

Right?

Andrea again: One would think, Rebecca, but one would be wrong. No, I think this business is pandering to the Disenfranchaised Feminist and their coat hangar propaganda. Which likely means they have some interesting items in storage–things that 70s crowd is just forced to part with when they move to Manhattan–smaller apartments there, you know. Things like this or this. Or maybe even this–It would be painful be reminded of the Titanic when your movement is tanking right before your eyes.

Tanya interjects: Upon first glance, Andrea, I mused that the pink couch (above) would make a great bassinet, especially seeing as colic is sometimes attributed to being separated from the comforts of the womb.  And it’s just the right size!

But on second thought, there may be a danger that pro-abortionists, finding the newborn ensconced there safely, would revoke her rights on the grounds that she has not fully emerged from the vaginal canal.
