Complaints against Marie Stopes TV ad rejected


Despite 1,054 complaints from the public, GPs and MPs, the advisory watchdog has quashed criticisms against the first televised abortion advertisement in the UK.

The campaign, which was broadcast throughout May and June of this year, was condemned by some as misleading, offensive and harmful for its advice surrounding unplanned pregnancy.

A spokeswoman from the ProLife Alliance said, ‘It is preposterous to assert that the ad was not misleading.’

The television commercial was criticised for promoting abortion, for failing to take in to account the views of fathers and for offending religious beliefs.
