Abortion Clinics Ads (Student BMJ March 12)

 

As of 30 April 2012, private abortion services which charge a fee will be able to advertise on the television and radio. Profiting companies will be allowed to broadcast their services alongside the existing non-profitable clinics. For some women this will make the termination of a pregnancy easier as they may be more aware of the services available however some worry that we may become desensitized to a very emotional and controversial subject. I think it is important that people think very carefully about their actions; the media may be portraying it as an easy and winning option, however we need to be careful not to over simplify such a life changing decision.
