When the news headlines announced that next week an abortion advert will be airing on the UK's Channel 4, I suspected most people's minds start resembling the Daily Mail. Unsurprisingly knickers are in twists, and despite the flippant turn of phrase it's pretty important. The loud mouthed moral panic came out, worried about what this will mean for society.
