From 30th April 2012, new rules come into force which will allow post conception advice services (those organisations which carry out abortions) to advertise their range of services on TV and radio. However, most women wanting advice know how to access these services. These new rules could put some vulnerable women at risk of being forced into an unwanted situation. If you want to stop these services advertising, please sign this petition.

Reflecting on the feedback I have received, it is clear that many people feel deep unease about the prospect of these services entering our living rooms through broadcast media. This campaign is not merely about policy but about protecting the space for women to make difficult decisions without external pressure. I am continuing to look into the regulatory avenues available to challenge how these advertisements are permitted to operate.

The quiet growth of this movement reveals a shared concern about the messaging that reaches women in vulnerable moments. Reaching this milestone confirms that many others believe these services should not be promoted through public airwaves.

Absolutely not. This is way too sensitive of a subject to be blaring on the radio while people are driving or eating dinner with their families.

Keep this stuff off the air. Kids watch tv and dont need to be seeing ads for stuff like that when they are just trying to watch cartoons.
