USian Anti-Abortion Ads! On Our Tellies!

Today on Twitter. Fetus fetishist ad. @MuskokaMoneybag tweeted about it, then tracked it down.

Anti-abortion ad today on CTV CanadaAM by Alliance for Life - Milk-Reaching Minds through Media Campaign on YouTube#cdnpoli

It's from Alliance for Life.




It doesn't look like a Canadian setting, does it? Not a typical bunch of Canadian Ordinary Joes and Janes, either.

We don't do 'missing milk carton children' in Canada any more.

And I have never -- and neither had MuskokaMoneybag -- seen an anti-choice ad on Canadian telly.

I went looking. And found this.



It comes from a xian production company, Virtue Media, which for a 'modest' licensing fee, will allow fetus fetishist orgs to pollute the airways with sanctimonious glurge.

VirtueMedia™ offers Right-to-Life/Pro-Life groups an opportunity to air proven-effective commercials that educate the culture of the sanctity of every human life, and other ads that reach abortion-vulnerable women offering help and healing.  The cost to a Right-to-Life/Pro-Life group is the contribution of a modest licensing fee.

USian glurge imported to Canada to promote USian abortion insanity.

We want this here?

ADDED: Alliance for Life is behind the We Want the Debate Campaign.

UPDATE: Saturday, June 30.

@fernhilldammit Just want to let you know that the same anti-abortion ad was on CTV again, during Blue Bloods Saturday night

The campaign has legs/dough. If you see an ad, please let us know.

UPDATE: I should have done this earlier. There is a campaign to complain to Advertising Standards Canada. Helpful instructions at the link.

A New Euphemism!

Sassy, in the comments here, informs us of another bit of Sanity on the Rise.

The UK is going to allow TV ads for private abortion clinics.

Previously, ads for reproductive services had been allowed only for non-profit clincs. Only one ad was run and remember the SHRIEEKING that occasioned?

So this should be even more fun.

What struck me in Sassy's link though is the new euphemism.

A source close to the changes said: ‘This isn’t about all-out adverts for abortion – it’s for post-conception advisory services. It will be places saying, “Come and chat to us for advice”. Of course, a lot of those organisations will provide terminations.

I just love it. It will drive fetus fetishists around the twist.

To the fainting couches!

SHRIIIIEEEEEEEEK!

UK fetus fetishists are doing their nut over this telly ad, billed as
'the first UK TV commercial to offer advice on abortion services' set to air this evening.

Really. One spokesthingy for a ff gang in, predictably, Northern Ireland where abortion is still illegal, called it 'grotesque'.

Do they have dictionaries in NI?

Marie Stopes, the UK equivalent of Planned Parenthood, is the sponsor.

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. It also found that 76% of adults believed adverts for services offering advice on unplanned pregnancy should be allowed on television at "appropriate times".

76% of adults in the UK are, well, adult. But UK fetish fetishists are even frailer than ours.

SHRIEEEEKING from across the pond

While Merkin fundies are SHRIEEEKING over the FDA's sensible decision to stop playing politics comply with a court order to make emergency contraception available to 17-year-olds, Brit fundies are SHRIEEEEKING about this.

Furious parents called up radio phone-in shows in their hundreds to complain about the first television ad for the morning-after pill, which broke last night.

AEEIIII! An ad! On telly!



It's kinda odd, isn't it? The cartoon woman's surprise/shock/distress countered by the bouncy music. Not to mention the Pink.

So, the usual lying liars trot out their usual lies.

The ProLife Alliance has also condemned the ad claiming: "It is advertised inaccurately as emergency contraception when in fact its major function is to cause the abortion of an embryo that has already been conceived, not as suggested by the name to prevent conception."

Um. No. That's bullshit.

Anyway, good on ya, Britain. May we see such sense here.
