A controversial billboard in SoHo equating abortion among black women with genocide was yanked Thursday night.

Bowing to heavy pressure, Lamar Advertising Co. agreed to pull the ad above Sixth Ave. and Watts St., which featured a picture of a young black girl below the message, "The most dangerous place for African Americans is in the womb."

The shocking billboard blind-sided New Jersey mom Tricia Fraser, who was furious that her 6-year-old daughter, Anissa, was featured in the anti-abortion group Life Always's ad.

"I want an apology," Fraser, 36, told the Daily News. "I'm happy that it's [being taken down], but at the same time I'm concerned that they can use that image again."

The more progressives are confronted the more they reveal their pathology. These are sick, sick people in desperate need of the saving grace of Christ, Al and Jesse chief among them.

That’s what stock use is. You are paid for a photo that is licensed for general use.

They had the right to use it, period.

If the photo had been paid for for general use with no restrictions, that’s fine. I just hadn’t read that that was the case. If it was the case, then you’re right.
