Pregnant Bride advert, Health Education Council

Dec. 29, 1970 - December 29th, 1970 Pregnant Bride advert too shocking The pregnant bride was meant to shock people. But she has turned out to be a little too pregnant and much too shocking. The bride follows Casanova and the Pregnant Man in a big birth-control campaign. She appears all dressed up for church and conspicuously maternal, in a pamphlet on contraception, published by the Government-backed Health Education Council. Dr. Bill James, director-general of the council, said yesterday: She's a little too pregnant, especially for a church. We do not want to be offensive to anybody. We are trying to get another picture with a bride less obviously pregnant. H/Keystone
