<\/div>

It really, really<\/em> bothers abortion supporters\u00a0that the rest of the world won\u2019t drink the Kool-Aid they\u2019re peddling.\u00a0At Salon, Danielle Campoamor complains<\/a> that her TV is teeming with advertisements for erectile dysfunction and breast augmentation, yet apparently nobody feels comfortable running ads for poor, stigmatized abortion:<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s a useful and even lifesaving medical procedure.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

No, it isn’t<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

One in three women will seek out abortion services in their lifetime [\u2026]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

No, they won’t<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

[\u2026] and it is, after all, completely legal.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Since when is legality the deciding factor for whether advertising something on mainstream television is socially desirable? Last time I checked, smoking, infidelity, porn, racist speech, and all sorts of other dubious activities were legal, yet nowhere to be seen in primetime commercials.<\/p>\n

\n

Why are we willing to use women\u2019s bodies in ads, but rarely see ads that would benefit women\u2019s bodies?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Her question\u2019s premise is false on two levels. First, countless products \u201cthat would benefit women\u2019s bodies\u201d are<\/em> routinely advertised. Second, Campoamor surely must know that \u201cbenefitting women\u2019s bodies\u201d is not the variable giving advertisers pause about abortion. Hold that thought, as we\u2019ll see that playing dumb on this point is a recurring fallback.<\/p>\n

Campoamor next recounts the recent mini-controversy over the Metro Transit Authority rejecting advertisements for self-styled \u201cabortion spa\u201d Carafem<\/a> on the grounds that mentioning abortion violated their policy against issue-based advertising:<\/p>\n

\n

Since when is a medical procedure a social issue?
\n<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Since, oh, 1973<\/a>. Are we really descending to this level of obtuseness?<\/p>\n

\n

Does that mean the MTA would refuse an ad from, say, the Cancer Society? What about Viagra, used to treat a medical condition that plagues a large number of men? What about OB-GYN services and birthing centers? Are those considered issue-based practices?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yes, apparently we are. As should not need explaining (but does, because that\u2019s the level to which some abortion supporters\u00a0have lowered\u00a0the national discourse), cancer, Viagra, OB-GYNs, and birthing centers are not \u201cissues\u201d in the way abortion is because there is little-to-no controversy surrounding them. No major percentage of the population has ethical, legal, or health objections to their availability. What do you suppose makes abortion different, Danielle? What does abortion do<\/em> that cancer treatment and ED drugs don\u2019t? It\u2019s a real stumper\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

But a larger \u2014 and dangerous \u2014 problem remains. Society has manipulated abortion and the way in which it is viewed, changing it from a medical procedure to an exhausted topic of debate. Women\u2019s bodies \u2014 in need of medical attention, just like any other body \u2014 are used as statistics and fodder for political points, keeping from women the information they need to make informed and safe choices about their health and their healthcare.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Or maybe\u2014just maybe\u2014people don\u2019t like the thought of chopping babies to pieces. It\u2019s really amazing how on the other side, you can get away with entire editorials that never mention, let alone address, the argument against your position. If pro-lifers wrote against abortion without even bringing up women\u2019s desire not to undergo pregnancy or the struggles of childbirth and parenthood, we\u2019d never hear the end of it (heck, we\u2019re routinely accused of that anyway even when we do discuss the counter-arguments).<\/p>\n

\n

We\u2019ve actively kept women from the services, information and support they need, because we find a procedure to be \u201ccontroversial.\u201d We\u2019re inhibiting the health and well-being of an untold number of women, because we see women\u2019s bodies as topics of discussion during the latest political debate, instead of human bodies in need of affordable healthcare and legalized procedures. We\u2019d rather stay an arm\u2019s length away from a legal and normal medical practice \u2014 to avoid upsetting a particular group of people \u2014 instead of standing up for women and their right to make informed medical decisions by receiving unbiased information.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Scare quotes around \u201ccontroversial\u201d while omitting the reason it\u2019s controversial. Nonsensical insinuations that we don\u2019t see women\u2019s bodies as human bodies (from someone bent on ignoring the human bodies her position destroys). Indignant insistence that aborting a child is \u201cnormal.\u201d Sneers about upsetting people without bothering to address what it is about abortion that upsets them. All topped off with a plea for \u201cunbiased information\u201d in the middle of a piece that epitomizes bias.<\/p>\n

This is not the work of a serious attempt to understand a major cultural divide. This is an act of pure pretending\u2014pretending abortion is 100% unobjectionable, that rational views that don\u2019t match hers simply don\u2019t exist\u2014a childish temper tantrum given an imprimatur of serious by a professional publication that has no excuse to not know better.<\/p>\n

\n

Are we still stuck in an ignorant time, in which society as a whole truly believes that ads for abortions will somehow convince a woman who doesn\u2019t want an abortion to have one? Do we really find women to be that malleable, or are we finally willing to admit that women \u2014 like their male counterparts \u2014 are intelligent and completely capable of making their own decisions, especially when they are presented with factual and accurate information?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When in doubt, deploy straw-man arguments. Stigmatizing abortion is not a question of viewers\u2019 gullibility. To go back to an earlier example, the truth about cigarettes\u2019 health hazards is widespread enough that seeing a Marlboro ad won\u2019t hypnotize most viewers to go out and buy a pack, either.<\/p>\n

No, when someone is unwilling to make a buck by putting a product on TV, it\u2019s usually because they fear doing so will disgust or alienate their audience in some way\u00a0–\u00a0that is what\u2019s really eating away at Campoamor here.<\/p>\n

Most Americans don\u2019t think abortion is a normal, innocuous, unqualified medical good meriting no more stigma than cosmetic surgery. The United States is a majority pro-life country<\/a>, and even if we\u2019re divided on what exactly to do about it, most instinctively know something about it just isn\u2019t right.<\/p>\n

The lack of abortion advertising is a daily reminder to the abortion-obsessed that for all their insistence\u00a0about speaking for women and modernity and the mainstream, they are the ones out of step with society\u2019s moral sensibilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
