England to Begin Abortion TV Ads

May 27, 2010 by Gerard M. Nadal

The following video is of a television commercial by one of England’s largest abortion providers, Marie Stopes. It seems to all outward appearances to be a soft-peddle for abortion. Why else would one of England’s largest abortion providers be offering to “help” with a late period? They aren’t exactly the local Catholic Charities office. Following is a list of Marie Stopes’ services, which evidently do not include helping women bring unplanned pregnancies to term:

Our services include:

Contraception
Unplanned pregnancy counselling
Abortion information and advice
Help for women needing abortions
Abortion pill and other treatment options
Vasectomy information and vasectomy procedure
Female sterilisation
Health screening for men and women
Company health screening
STI testing

The ethical dimensions seem pretty clear. Abortion is now being pressed home as a consumer service along with ads for pizza delivery, internet service, and appliance repair. This is what western civilization has come to.

    At Marie Stopes International we always support a woman’s choice to continue with her pregnancy or have an abortion. If a woman feels that an abortion is in her or her family’s best interests, then she should have access to safe, supportive and non-judgmental advice and help form an expert clinic. No one else should pressure her into either continuing with the pregnancy or having an abortion.

    The earlier a woman decides on abortion, the more options are available to her, and the easier and safer it is to perform the abortion.

    Abortion is available for free on the National Health Service, but waiting periods vary according to area, and this is a time when days may be crucial. Also, not all women resident in the UK are eligible for NHS abortions: women visiting from other countries, or women living in Northern Ireland, are required to go private.

    These adverts will enable women who think or know they may be pregnant, and are considering abortion, to find out where they can get one.

    I see you are an American blogger. You may not be aware that in the UK, many public services and charities, including health charities, advertise on TV: TV ads are by no means exclusive to “consumer services”. For example, prior to our recent General Election, the Electoral Commission ran ads to let people know how they could find out if they were registered to vote, and where they could register, and when the deadline was. Doing so did not mean the right to vote was equated to “pizza delivery, internet service, and appliance repair”: those ads were providing the general public with information both useful and necessary. So with our ads.

    Marie Stopes International makes clear to all patients who are eligible for NHS treatment that abortion and contraception services are free on the NHS: but all women, anywhere, have a right to choose whether or not to have an abortion. No one else can make this decision for her.

    Some of the money from the fees people pay in the UK Marie Stopes centres goes towards supporting the work Marie Stopes International does overseas.

    In 2008 alone, MSI provided over six million people in 42 countries with high quality health services, including family planning; safe abortion & post-abortion care; maternal & child health care including safe delivery and obstetrics; diagnosis & treatment of sexually transmitted infections; and HIV/AIDS prevention. Millions of people die unnecessarily each year from health conditions that could be prevented or treated at low cost because they do not have access to basic sexual and reproductive health services. Marie Stopes International is working to change that.

    Very sad when a company is proud of the millions of babies they have killed. Just have to keep praying that people will wake up and understand that this is murder, pure and simple, and is committed against the most innocent of people. Very sad situation.

    Marie Stopes – abortion kills an innocent human being. No amount of hand-waving changes that fact.

    It’s increasingly clear that England is heading for Sharia law. Bend, bow or beheaded, it is coming by your own hand, because those who reject abortion are watching their families grow, and outpacing the population that kills their children.

    You’re killing those who would have stood in your defense.

    Ignorance is not a blessing.

    May by God’s grace you be shown mercy when He judges you in righteousness.
