New Anti-Abortion Billboards Offensive to All


by Nichole / Right Wing Watch

Earlier this week, the National Black ProLife Coalition, in conjunction with TooManyAborted.com,announced the launch of another anti-choice billboard campaign in Atlanta and other major metropolitan areas. These billboards are designed to offend, featuring slogans such as “The 13th Amendment Freed-Abortion Enslaves” and “Abortion Makes Three-Fifths Human Seem Overly Generous.”
According to the press release, these billboards are supposed to show “how Roe v. Wade has made a mockery of Civil Rights history by offering destruction and bondage instead of possibility and freedom,” but in reality they just show the insensitivity of some pro-life organizations. Timed to coincide with Juneteenth, a day celebrating the abolition of slavery, one billboard company refused to display the images, though another eventually accepted.


Motor City Liberal Comment: Maybe the folks over at the National Black Prolife should call their friends in the Republican Party and tell them stop slashing funding for programs like WIC and Head Start so abortion won't be an option for lower income women or couples.
