Abortion Ads?

Salon.com reports that the UK might start airing ads for pregnancy services, including abortion, on TV.

On the one hand, why not? On the other hand, I can see how this might make people uncomfortable. So I'd love to hear from our readers -- what do you think? Should the UK allow ads for abortion services on TV? Should the US?

I think this could probably be done...tastefully? And in a good way. Sometimes I see Planned Parenthood commercials (up in Syracuse) and I think they're wonderful - and they seem like a big deal.

But I dont know, abortions do make people uncomfortable, that's for sure...

Thanks Sammy! I know, PPNYC has done a few ad campaigns around the New York Metro area, but they've all been focused on family planning and birth control rather than just abortion. It'll be interesting to see what happens!
