Marie Stopes International is Charity in the UK that gives advice and medical treatment for woman. They are the British version of Planned Parenthood. They ran a first of it's kind ad on British TV that aired yesterday and it is causing quite a stir. The charity denies that this ad is geared towards offering women abortion, but since they perform about 65,000 per year, that is a little hard for pro-life advocates to believe. The ad never uses the word abortion, but I personally think that the message is pretty clear. Especially when you read these statistics:
Termination in numbers
1/3 of British women have had an abortion
195,296 officially recorded abortions in 2008 There were 198,499 in 2007
19-20 peak age for having an abortion
91% of abortions are NHS- funded. Just over half are in independent clinics such as Marie Stopes

A belief in the written constitution. The belief that we are responsible for ourselves and for our families. The belief that we are allowed to fail. The belief in a strong national defense are a few of the things that make me just a conservative girl.

Talk about dehumanizing the baby. This is all described as fixing the problem of a late period. Sounds like national denial to me.
