Reply #35: "But I've chosen the best possible option for him"... [View All]

...I have a problem with that.

The ad implies that she has the right answer. Not a right answer, or the right answer for her, but THE right answer.

It may be the right answer for her. The ad does not address the situation of a woman with 5 kids and an abusive husband who just cannot deal with another child - and putting it up for adoption is not an option as hubby would never agree. It does not address the situation of a 13-year-old who is pregnant, whatever the circumstances. It does not address the situtation of a fetus with anencephaly, no chance of life or humanness at all. One could go on.

These people who put these ads out go to a lot of trouble to make them seem innocuous. Seems they have succeeded quite well in this case. But the underlying message does not change: abortion == wrong. There is no gray area. So yes, I am bothered by the ad.
