Stop Propaganda Commercials by Discovery Communications

At 12:34am Pacific time (I'm a night owl) on 10/20/14, I was watching an episode of My Five Wives. I watch many different programs that this company "airs" (Gold Rush, 19 Kids and Counting, Say Yes to the Dress, and several others). A commercial played roughly at the time above that was made by Virtue Media, Inc. During this commercial a woman cried about her experience of having an abortion, and even stated that "now she can't get pregnant", as if to manipulate the viewer into thinking that abortions cause problems with reproduction. Allowing commercials that are so manipulative and full of false information to air is extremely unethical. But this commercial wasn't just unethical. It's one of the many venues that fake abortion clinics, called "crisis centers" that are using to try to guilt and manipulate women into changing their minds about having an abortion after they've already made up their minds. (More information can be found here: https://testtube.com/testtubedailyshow/are-pro-life-groups-setting-up-fake-abortion/) The advertisement was for this website, http://pregnancyline.com/, that just contains a few melodramatic personal stories, acting, and false information. The commerical that was aired on Discovery Communication's channel is not located on the website. I will not watch a single show aired by Discovery Communications until I have their word this has been deal with. My family will also not be watching any of these shows, and I will ensure that my friends know about this practice your company is making as well. I will spread the word about this practice as much as possible until this is changed!
