A pregnant teenager is no doubt already scared. She probably doesn't need a public service campaign to remind her that it wasn't exactly a good plan.
Recent ads in New York feature crying babies looking directly into the camera.
"Got a good job?" a child asks on one of the posters. "I cost thousands of dollars a year."
