Of course she shouldn't get an apology. This just further illustrates that people are focusing on the wrong issues here. Boggles the mind.
Some interesting comments under the story at the link.
New info regarding the story you posted on yesterday. Get a load of this.
Do I dare ask:
What does the girl’s FATHER think about it?
Truth hurts don’t it babe!
If anybody plastered my kid's face on billboards all over town without my permission, there'd be Hell to pay.
Hey Tricia, how's it feel to 'want'?
Once you sign over the rights, tough noogies. The image was probably from a stock photography site.
Truth is over rated, so tear it down.

If the mother legally signed away the rights to her daughter’s image, and the image was used legally, then perhaps she should be on the receiving end of a lawsuit.
A few thoughts:
The comment by the liberal calling himself RenHoek is exactly what political discourse is supposed to be about.
The hysteria here is interesting. To those criticizing this in the article, this is not in bad taste or even merely racist, it’s an atrocity and dangerous.
Another interesting aspect is that I’m not aware of any article about this mentioning the reason for the ad’s tagline: It’s the truth. Abortion kills more black people than the next 7 causes of death combined. It’s killed approximately 7 times as many as were killed by the slave trade. But Reverend Al says don’t talk about it during Black History Month, so...
I have three questions for the moron quoted in the article who is a professor of social work:
1. If you (absurdly) think this billboard is dangerous because of the message it sends to African-American children, how do you think kids feel when they realize their entire country has decided they are disposable?
2. Do you think drunk driving ads imply that every person who drives is a drunk driver? Do you believe the illustrated warning on the side of 5 gallon plastic buckets warning parents not to let their child play around it (because they could fall in and drown) send the message to children that Mommy wants to drown them in a bucket?
3. You refer to neighborhood children as “little people of color.” Yet, wouldn’t you be offended if a white person poined at a group of black children and described them as colored people?
In the leftist mindset millions of black children killed is perfectly fine (just so long as they don't have to eat ramen noodles), but one picture on a politically discomforting billboard is an atrocity. What a screwed up value system.
"If a little person of color walks buy and sees this, what message does that give about his or her mother, about other black people and their worth?" Merritt said. "This is dangerous."
A better question would be "What does the existence of Margret Sanger's followers at Planned Infanticide have to say about their opinion on the worth of black people?" If anything this picture says to the mother "Good job for having your child rather than killing her."
She’s just seeing more dollar signs.
Imagine if that image were for a pro-Planned Parenthood campaign, suggesting we don’t need any more of “them.” I saw a young woman whom I know post a message to that effect as her response to those wretched Republicans trying to withhold PP funding!
As it is, the sponsoring group has gotten FAR more ink than had those who oppose it just shut up. Things have a way of working out.
I can only shake my head at the sight of someone aiding the genocide of her own race.
Others have said this already. But it bears repeating.
The truth hurts.
Killing millions of Black babies is “ok” in the leftist mind, but reminding people of it is an “atrocity.” What screwed-up value systems liberals have.
Picture it, Manhattan, 1986. I’m sitting in a waiting room at a modeling agency, because so many people have said I should be there. Grim young moms and other perfect children are all around. My mom has already made up her supermind about it, but agreed to come, to oblige a friend who is certain I’m the next Brooke Shields. Mommy: You don’t need the money, the attention, or the consequences. Why jump on the meat wagon?
But I insisted. Then she read the contract, and my career was nipped in the bud.
No regrets.
