I have been following this whole controversy about ban on contraceptive and morning- after pill ads on TV
and other media, I don't understand the logic behind it at all.
If nothing, these ads will help in reducing the number of abortions in India which for now is 7 million, 20,000 women die every year because of complications after abortion.

In a scenario like this, i think contraceptive ads should be allowed on TV. What do you feel members?

Speak up girls, its for all of us

it is the most disgusting ad in the media industry and it should be banned. Bcoz, in house when you watch TV all of a sudden this ads come. They educate to avoid conception. But to reality the girls are used to get more tablets from the medical stores. If u see mumbai mirror there is a seperate column which solutions are given to silly questions.

oh ,who use to say Barth control not good i thing one day will come when who say somthing like this will hang till dath ok,,bcoz alredy india craing and you people dont understand,thats why india still today have 25 persent pooverty.

First of all India should stop censoring everything because some stupid ass gets offended somewhere. Secondly, If India calls itself democratic, it has to have freedom of expression. Thirdly, India has uncontrollably high population. Many of the Idiots need to be neutered and one child policy like China should be implemented. Lastly, contraceptive ads should not only be displayed but subsidized to be aired on every channel and in every commercial break.

Finally, In democracy everybody has choice to live it's own way. If someone wants to have sex and prevent the consequences who are these moral police telling others what they should or shouldn't do?

we appreciate ur respnse but piils shud nt be taken regularly,, shud be also given in adsss,,,,in regular harmful for health,,,,.....so dnt ban it but restrict it to provide its regular use everyday,,, reports too say tat its regular use harms grls,,,,,dnt ban it,,,,,

I am not in favor of this kind of ads..i am strictly not in favor of illegitimate sex.why a girl need to go for this kind of situation...????

Some gynaecologists say the advertisements present morning after pills not as emergency contraceptives but as a way to have unprotected sex without worrying about getting pregnant. “Abortion say accha hai pregnancy ko rokna (it is better to stop a pregnancy than have an abortion),” says the I-pill ad, while the Unwanted-72 advertisement ends with the line “ab ham hain tension free” (we are now tension free).

i think the ads can be more clear, with clear distinction between contraceptive, over the counter pill and emergency birth control, maybe then these ads can be more useful

Why ban, we need more awareness, i think the Government should also take initiative in promoting ads from their side for Rural India.

if the ads can be more informative and not mis-leading then i think there is no harm in airing these ads

For your kind information guys, we are missing an important point here.

The Drug Controller General's office banned advertising of all emergency contraceptives like Unwanted-72 and I-Pill on January, 2010, after serious concerns were raised that the ads were promoting the drugs as regular contraceptives and misrepresenting abortion.
So the real point is do these ads need to change.

Does ads and advertising really matter, in serious issue like contraceptive pills, i mean do girls really watch these ads and buy these pills, i am confused...

But Gayatri, these ads were ban because girls misuse these pills, these ads promote the use of pills
