Speaking of choice

I guess it only applies to those advocating for abortion. If you want to provide information contrary to what the death merchants put out, in other words engaging in free speech and seeking to educate women, you are somehow violating what New York stands for. A recent billboard in New York that pictured a young black girl with the words ""The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb" is directed at the grim reality that 60% of pregnancies to black women in New York City end in abortion. More than half of all black children conceived in New York City are killed in New York. Such a bloody record certainly is drawing the attention of black leaders right? Not so much.

The activist Rev. Al Sharpton cancelled a protest at the billboard site that he had planned for Friday.

"The billboard was offensive, especially during Black History Month," Sharpton said in a statement Thursday.

Nothing could be more offensive for "reverend" Al Sharpton than the truth apparently. It turns out that the billboard is going to be pulled because of the reaction of open-minded, pro-abortion supporters....

"We received a complaint that some people who objected to the billboard were harassing the wait staff of a nearby restaurant," said Hal Kilshaw, a VP for Lamar Advertising. "We heard that there would be a protest tomorrow. There were concerns about problems for people who live or work in the area. That's why we chose to take it down. We are not taking the copy down because we don't think the copy should have been accepted in the first place or that it is too controversial."

Keep mind that the pro-life people are supposed to be the intolerant ones.

The truth is that for acolytes of the cult of death, there can be no dissent, no hint that abortion might be wrong. Rather than engaging the question of why 60% of black children are aborted, leaders in this community instead focus on protest and shouting down any dissenting view. How can you call it "choice" when you only hear one side of the issue?
