Anti-Teen Pregnancy PSA

This image (found here) is from a Milwaukee United Way anti-teen pregnancy ad series. There are additional examples here.


An anonymous commenter on a previous post told me about this:

...in milwaukee, there is an ad on some of the busses with a computer animated picture of a pregnant adolescent boy with words similar to "it should be just as disturbing if it were a girl" and i found it really offensive. it's interesting how it relates to thomas beattie and those previous ads about teen pregnancy...

Compare to these anti-teen pregnancy PSAs that portray teen parents as shameful and disgusting.

Here's another set of Milwaukee United Way PSAs about child sexual abuse.

Thanks, Anonymous!

This definitely crosses the line from anti-teen-pregnancy to anti-pregnancy.
