I have noticed that here in the states there are all kinds of billboards up about pregnancy most portray a sad looking woman upset about being pregnant.I brought this up to some of the other drivers and it had not missed their attention either and those were men lol.I wonder when did becoming pregnant start being such bad news.

Although I live on the other side of the country, similar billboards have appeared in the South. I think the spin is on unwanted pregnancy. Generally, I believe that the intention is to tell those women they have options. Here in TN, the idea is to get a young woman to talk to someone instead of making a rush decision. Lots of women can't have children themselves and would love the opportunity to adopt a baby!

[i]Yeah I've seen the billboards.. and to be honest it is depressing. Young girls getting pregnant.. and not wanting the baby.. etc.. I think Castel is right.. I do think it is there to let Mothers know there is always more then one choice.
