I would be curious to see how affective this campaign is, which is being promoted throughout Milwaukee. Unintended consequences can be quite surprising. I can't imagine a diaper poster doing much to dissuade teenagers from making a bad choice. On the other hand, it would seem to help cultivate an atmosphere where an infant is somewhat dehumanized.From WISN:
MILWAUKEE -- Posters of dirty diapers have been put up at several bus shelters in Milwaukee.It's part of an ongoing ad campaign by the United Way and Serve Marketing to combat teen pregnancy.The United Way said the city has one of the top 10 highest teen pregnancy rates in the country.The posters show a dirty diaper with the words "scratch and sniff" on them.In the middle is a message that says, "This doesn't really stink, but the consequences of teen pregnancy sure do.""It's supposed to make you not feel good. It's gross on purpose because we want teens to realize the real consequences of teen pregnancy are really hard and by putting up a dirty diaper, we're catching teens by surprise," said Gary Mueller of Serve MarketingThe posters went up at four bus shelters with the highest concentrations of students.

I don't know if you've seen UW's website:

If you go to the link for "Find a Clinic" you can follow the link to Affiliated Medical Services and go to their website. Their sole purpose is to assassinate the unborn.
Also, under the "Am I Pregnant" page, there are three options:
1) resources to have a healthy pregnancy
2) resources to assist with adoption
3) other - if you click on the link for other it takes you directly to PP of WI. Hmmm, I wonder what "other" really means?
