Christian Legal Centre director Andrea Minichiello-Williams - The notion that the destruction of human life can be advertised freely on TV as a service to the public is outrageous and we will be doing all we can to stop the advert from being aired.

Marie Stopes, after whom the abortion chain is named, was a eugenicist arguing for a "utopia" to be achieved through "racial purification."

In Your Face Advertising of Abortion Expected to Hit British TV

LONDON, UK - The head of the Christian Legal Centre has condemned plans to air the first ever TV advertisement for abortion services. Marie Stopes is set to make TV history when it advertises its abortion services on Channel 4 at 10:10 PM on May 24th.

The plans have upset pro-life and Christian groups, who are considering legal action to halt the broadcast of the advert.

While commercial abortion clinics are prohibited from advertising on TV by the Broadcast Committee of Advertising Practice (BCAP), the ban does not cover not-for-profit abortion providers like Marie Stopes. The CLC believes the ban should be extended to Marie Stopes as it charges for its private services and the advert refers to its commercial 24 hour helpline.
