The Google Ads policy on abortion will change in early October 2011. The policy is changing so that ads related to abortion and abortion services will be categorised as "Family Safe" in most countries. Furthermore, abortion ads will not be served in three new countries (Austria, Switzerland and Belgium) in addition to the countries in which they are already prohibited. After the new policy goes into effect, the abortion policy will be updated to reflect this change.
