I sincerely doubt that any advertising would be geared to minimize the procedure or make it seem commonplace. I doubt that there would suddenly be, "Hey Kids! Isn't abortion fun? Let's all go get abortions!" or anything anywhere close to that. I'm sure that the advertising would be more to the tone of offering counseling and realistic options for pregnant women who don't know what to do.
I think that allowing advertising from both sides is the right thing to do. Right now, the only ads I ever see are from the Christian backed, adoption only pregnancy counseling centers. They've got more money to throw around for advertising anyway.
For the record, I am strongly pro-choice. Like our anonymous friend above, I'm on the cusp of being pro-abortion really. I think that there are far too many people who become parents by accident and do just an absolutely terrible job of it. No doubt that the child of an abusive, meth-addicted parent would be better off not being born. No doubt that society would be better off without that child, the problems and costs associated, etc.
