If you won't advertise abortion, then don't allow abortion.

To cite only one among many possible examples, will these adverts mention Marie Stopes's extravagant, versified love letters to Hitler? Or that she disowned her own son because he married a woman who wore glasses? Or her campaign for the compulsory sterilisation of "the C3 population", of "half-castes" and of "revolutionaries", among numerous others?

Or the dozens of clinics that she opened in working-class areas to reduce the number of "undesirables" by persuasion if force were politically impossible? After all, those clinics are the very thing being advertised. They still carry her name. Our televisions already carry their adverts, now to be joined by those for other facilities of much the same kind and firmly within the same highly organised and lavishly, publicly funded lobby. Our 50p stamps recently carried her image. And we all carry the shame.
