It recently came out that NBC rejected three versions of Obvious Child's trailer for TV advertisement.  A short version they submitted to be used online was accepted, provided they edited out the work abortion.  Planned Parenthood started a petition,  and NBC has released the following statement:

 .

“NBCUniversal has no policy against accepting ads that include the word “abortion.” Several ad proposals for Obvious Child were submitted to our television broadcast standards group for review, and, consistent with NBCUniversal policy and practice, no direction was given to remove references to the word “abortion.” Ultimately, no final ad was submitted or purchased for television broadcast.

 .

  “Separately, an online ad was submitted for digital placement and feedback was mistakenly given to remove the word “abortion.” That is not company policy and we are currently reviewing our ad standards processes to ensure they are consistent across all platforms moving forward.

 .

  “Our digital platforms will accept the ad as it was originally submitted.”
