Anti-Abortion Billboard Features Obama, Says ‘Every 21 Minutes, Our Next Possible Leader Is Aborted
Anti-Abortion Billboard Features President Obama, Says ‘Every 21 Minutes, Our Next Possible Leader Is Aborted’

After displaying a highly offensive anti-abortion billboard campaign, the anti-choice organization Life Always ran into trouble when New York City denizens demanded it remove its colossal billboard declaring “the most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb.” Tricia Fraser, the mother of the little girl on the billboard, was enraged to learn of the billboard. She hadn’t expected a photo taken at a modeling agency to be abused for that purpose. Life Always promised not to use the girl’s picture again.

Instead, they’ll use President Obama’s. As Right Wing Watch notes, Life Always and ThatsAbortion.com will unveil 30 new billboards in President Obama’s hometown — “where residents are predominantly black” — that declares, “Every 21 minutes, our next possible leader is aborted.” These are babies who could grow to be the future Presidents of the United States, or the next Oprah Winfrey, Denzel Washington or Maya Angelou,” said Life Always Board Member Reverend Derek McCoy.

1. By that logic, every 21 minutes an axe murderer is aborted too

2. And I once read somewhere . . .
that Hitler's mother considered aborting him. Since there is no way to know how a kid is going to turn out, the kind of argument in this billboard doesn;t hold much water.

4. unfortunately for the world, there are more ax-murderers than truly visionary, morally-based leaders

5. They've decided to hit hard at the African American community with anti-choice messages.
This isn't about abortion. It's about getting Republican votes. They are desperate to find some way to win over minorities, because minorities are growing and the time is coming soon when whites (and I'm white) will not be the majority of the population.

They are so desperate that they've become openly shameless. They are also clueless. It. Won't. Work.
