This billboard is causing a stir in New York. It’s meant to highlight the high abortion rate among African Americans:
Mr. Faulkner said that he hoped the billboard would provoke a visceral reaction, like the one he said he had felt when he saw the abortion statistics. “It should be an offense,” he said. “This is not targeting black women. This is targeting the practice, and saying to black women, ‘If you find yourself in this crisis of an unexpected, unwanted pregnancy, there are alternatives.’
Now the mother of the girl in the photo, who signed a stock photo release, says she too is offended. I’d say that’s one billboard that is earning the publicity it wanted to achieve.
