The meanest PSA ever?

New York City is out with a new teen pregnancy prevention campaign and, like many of Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s public health initiatives, its a tad controversial. It includes ads like this one, which will show up on subways and bus shelters citywide.

At the same time, with ads like these, researchers tend to worry about the potential stigma they might bring to teen parents. This has been true with anti-obesity advertising, such as a recent campaign in Georgia that, much like these new ads, had researchers questioning whether the line had been crossed.
Washington Post

God forbid there should a stigma attached to being a pregnant, unmarried minor. :whatever:

Here are the posters.

These "worrying researchers" can just calm down.  Those ads don't stigmatize anybody.   I didn't find them particularly effective, though.  And some of those babies are butt-ugly.  Maybe that was on purpose.

Good message but I think they need to use a background like this:
