Five people have lodged complaints with Advertising Standards Canada about “Vanished,” one of the two Reaching Minds Through Media TV advertisements that were aired by Alliance For Life Ontario for 13 weeks ending in Febuary. Vanished, depicts images of people vanishing:

• Children disappear from a group arriving at school.
• A person fades out from a picture of a group of runners.
• A bride vanishes from a wedding.

One of the complainers asserted that the ad was misleading. But all it does is to display the reality behind the Statistics Canada figure of one in four pregnancies ending in abortion. One in four people who would be living today have vanished because they were aborted. Click here to see the ad. Also, visit the AFLO  website.

Jakki Jeffs, Executive Director of AFLO, told Halton Pro-Life that Advertising Standards Canada is meeting on April 21 to discuss the advertisement and to decide whether to allow it to be run again. The ads caused visits to the AFLO to climb sharply - click here to see our report.
