Racial anti-abortion billboard in SoHo comes down amid outrage from pro-choice NYers

A controversial anti-abortion billboard in SoHo equating abortion among black women with genocide is coming down.

The Rev. Al Sharpton says Lamar Outdoor advertising has agreed to yank the ad above Sixth Ave. and Watts St., which features a picture of a young black girl below the message, "The most dangerous place for African Americans is in the womb."

"The billboard was offensive, especially during Black History Month, and I had intended to hold a press conference Friday in front of the billboard to protest the message of racial profiling and against a woman"s right to choose," Sharpton said Thursday.

The truth offends, I guess. Maybe those offended by this should do their homework and find out what’s really behind P.P.’s goals.

What can you say? He’s a slimeball who would have his own daughter get an abortion if it put money into his pocket. He shills for Planned Parenthood even as they commit genocide.

My gosh, they’re actually terrified and offended by these simple and true words:

“The most dangerous place for African Americans is in the womb.”

Sharpton is a murderous, lying, shuffling fool. The billboard is spot on and anybody who says otherwise is a useless waste of oxygen.

December 5, 2003: "Abortion: Black Genocide!" By Jesse Lee Peterson. "After reading up on its history, I discovered that the idea of legal abortion was first popularized by a white women, Margaret Sanger, who was the founder of the National Birth Control League, which is now known as Planned Parenthood.

Sanger was a lifelong champion of birth control and Eugenics (the movement devoted to "improving" the human species by control of hereditary factors in reproduction). For a number of years she edited a magazine called the Birth Control Review. Here she gave a platform for numerous articles on these issues, often written by racists, Nazi sympathizers, and/or Eugenicists. (Note: Margaret Sanger was also a vocal admirer of Adolph Hitler, at least until 1939. I really wish more people understood that Planned Parenthood's roots are deeply and firmly planted in the same eugenics movement that gave the world Auschwitz.)

Margaret Sanger called for the sterilization of "genetically inferior races". In 1939, she organized her "Negro Project" and wrote "the poorer areas, particularly in the South... are producing alarmingly more than their share of future generations." Sanger wrote "The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the Minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members".

I was shocked to learn the number of black women who have had an abortion since the United States Supreme Court legalized it in 1973. Since that time, the number of pre-born lives extinguished is approximately 32 million which includes over ten million black babies. That is about one third or more of the black population in the United States! Over the past ten years, I have counseled and picketed at abortion clinics across the country.

I was particularly struck one Saturday morning at a clinic in Virginia. We arrived there at 8 AM to counsel and demonstrate. The clinic opened at 9 AM. Within a one hour period, I saw at least thirty to forty young black women (some with men and some without) entering this clinic to have abortions performed as if it were NOTHING. It was like getting up and going to a restaurant for Saturday morning breakfast. They had no shame attached to their actions. As a matter of fact, these young women and their boyfriends were angry at us for reminding them that they had another choice. I will never, ever forget the story of a young black girl I met at an abortion clinic in Los Angeles one Saturday morning.

I was protesting near the clinic when I saw the young lady approach the front door. I talked to her, and tried to encourage her to put her baby up for adoption. She said it was too late to make that decision. The young lady then told me her story. She said she had gone into the clinic that Thursday. The doctor had injected something into her womb. For three days the baby KICKED AND GASPED FOR LIFE. On the third day, the baby died. She told me that when the baby expired, it was devastating to her. She also told me she would never ever be able to overcome the experience. I asked the girl why she chose to go through the process. She said she was encouraged to do this by her mother and boyfriend. That employees in the clinic told her she wouldn't feel anything. They said that she was carrying a fetus and NOT A BABY and that she could not afford to take care of a baby at her age. I asked how old she was. She replied that she was thirteen!

Why in the world was this offensive?

Sounds like he’s shilling for the Klan; great job, Al!

(Do these people believe they will meet God when they die, and account for their actions?)

Why is warning of a genocide of blacks offensive during Black History Month?

Al Sharpton: Celebrating Black History Month by calling for the unlimited abortion of Black babies.

Someone ought to hang a "useful idiot" sign around his neck.

The Nazis had kapos at the death camps to help run the extermination process. The abortionists have Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to help run their extermination process.

ThoughtCrime. You are not allowed to tell the truth. The blacks haven’t figured out yet that they are about to be swept aside as the main majority by the Hispanics, who, so far, are less easily persuaded to kill their own children.

One could argue that this was the appropriate month to call attention to the plight of these unborn children.

Conversely, is he saying that abortion opponents have to be silent for two months every year? (Black and Women Herstory Months?)
