According to the New York Times, last month, Life Always, the group behind the website ThatsAbortion.com, put up a billboard at the corner of Watts and Avenue of the Americas in New York City.
The billboard didn’t feature any grisly photos of aborted fetuses or hateful remarks about abortionists. Instead, passersby were greeted by the image of a lovely, little black girl in a pink dress beneath the caption, “The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb.”
Naturally, pro-choice politicians went nuts.
Demanding the billboard be removed, Bill de Blasio, New York City’s public advocate, told reporters that the ad “violates the values of New Yorkers” and accused the ad’s creators of “intolerance and bad judgment.”
Planned Parenthood also chimed in, calling the ad a “condescending effort to stigmatize and shame African-American women.” Please.
Christine Quinn, Speaker of the New York City Council, told reporters that, “Common decency demands [the billboard] be taken down. To refer to a woman’s legal right to an abortion as a ‘genocidal plot,’” she said, “is not only absurd, but offensive to women and to communities of color.”
