THE UK's first ever advert promoting abortion will be screened tonight.
Marie Stopes hopes its ads for unplanned pregnancy and abortion advice will raise awareness of sexual health.
But Christian bodies are outraged and are considering legal action to stop the broadcast - due to go out on Channel 4 at 10.10pm.
It comes after a study found less than half of UK adults knew where to go for advice in the event of an unplanned pregnancy, and 76 per cent believed the adverts should be screened at appropriate times.
But the Christian Legal Centre slammed the commercial as an advert for the "destruction of human life".
Its director Andrea Minichiello-Williams said: "Members of the public will be enraged that such adverts are allowed to be beamed into their living rooms, especially as early as 10.10pm, when very many teenagers are around.
