Advertising for abortion facilities may soon be coming to the UK:
In Great Britain, the Committee of Advertising Practice and the Broadcast Committee of Advertising Practice have embarked on a 12-week consultation to determine whether abortion facilities should be allowed to advertise on television. The consultation is an attempt to respond to the British government’s resolution to combat rising teenage pregnancy, and the committees are considering approval of both pro-choice and pro-life ads. If approved, only the pro-life clinics will be required to spell out their convictions, as well as the possible medical complications of delaying one’s decision to abort; abortion facilities will not have to address the possible complications that attend aborting a child.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
