(May 25, 2010) Great Britain has just permitted ads for abortion to air on its television stations, and CBS covered the story and spotlighted one such ad, which never mentions the word "abortion" but directs viewers to an 800 number they can call for "balanced advice." Just how balanced the advice is remains to be seen, since Marie Stopes representatives described the spot as "Britain's first-ever TV commercial for abortion services."
