Pro-life ad yanked from SoHo, NY site after complaints

A gigantic pro-life billboard in SoHo, Manhattan was torn down Thursday night just two days after being erected, slammed as an “affront” and “fear mongering,” reports LifeSiteNews.com. Dr. Alveda King, director of African-American Outreach for Priests for Life has responded saying, “The message of this billboard is totally accurate. The most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb! It’s a travesty of justice that it is being taken down.”

The billboard ad pictured a beautiful, young African-American girl with the words “The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb”. Part of an advertizing campaign by the pro-life group Life Always, it directed viewers to the website ThatsAbortion.com. The giant poster was erected in the heart of the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan just half a mile from one of three New York City Planned Parenthood abortion mills, which jointly reported about 17,000 abortions last year.

While there was nothing obscene in the giant poster, city council members were quick to slam the ad, especially after the mother of the young girl pictured on the poster objected to her daughter’s image used in the pro-life project.
