Private clinics that carry out abortions for profit are to get the  go-ahead to promote their services with TV and radio adverts.

Advertising watchdogs will trigger a storm of controversy by announcing the decision on Monday after years of argument, the Mail can disclose.

A source close to the changes said: ‘This isn’t about all-out adverts for abortion – it’s for post-conception advisory services. It will be places saying, “Come and chat to us for advice”. Of course, a lot of those organisations will provide terminations.

‘Non-commercial providers of these services are already permitted to advertise in the UK, and in fact there’s never actually been an outright legal ban. This is about allowing all services to be covered by the same regulations.’

Most people are PRO-CHOICE, NOT PRO-ABORTION...

Pro-choice clinics are monitored very closely...And yet corporations can donate as much $$$ as they want in political campaigns and not have to disclose who is donating...

And people wonder why we don't want PRO-RIGHT WING WACKOS in government...
