Life Always, the group behind the SoHo neighborhood’s “most dangerous place” billboard, is hosting a press conference Tuesday to unveil 30 new billboards featuring the image of Obama, the first African-American president. The billboards will be placed throughout Chicago and will state, “Every 21 minutes, our next possible leader is aborted.” Continue reading →

A new chapter on a story we’ve run previously. The pro-life organization Life Always sent out a statement today that it will be running a new pro-life billboard on Chicago’s South side featuring a resemblance of an unlikely figure: pro-abortion President Barack Obama. Prior to his election in 2008, Obama was first a state Senator and then a United States Senator from Illinois.

Life Always writes that tomorrow at 11:00 am it will unveil a billboard that reads, “Every 21 minutes, our next possible leader is aborted,” with a drawing of Obama’s face. The first location is 5812 S. State Street. Continue reading →

UPON DISCOVERING an anti-abortion billboard in the Soho neighborhood of New York City, I was reminded of the racist strategies that anti-abortion demagogues use to scapegoat minority women.

Just over a year ago, in February 2010, Ryan Bomberger’s impassioned campaign to convince black people that abortion is genocide burst into mainstream view. Bomberger’s Radiance Foundation, a Georgia-based anti-abortion group, placed dozens of billboards around Atlanta in coordination with black history month, touching off a media firestorm. “Black children are an endangered species,” said the billboards, of which there are now at least 170 in at least five cities and states.

“I’m an adoptee and adoptive father who has worked in the urban community most of my adult life,” says Bomberger, who is black. “I mourn the loss of beautiful possibility, not only in the unborn children who are unjustly killed, but the would-be mothers and fathers who are propagandized to believe that abortion solves any of the issues we face as a society.” Continue reading →

A contentious anti-abortion billboard on a Soho building was taken down last Thursday after employees of the building’s ground-floor restaurant reportedly were harassed by protesters.

Yesterday, the New York Times’s Clyde Haberman wrote a column that took as its jumping-off point a recent controversy over an anti-abortion billboard in NYC.

A Texas group called Life Always…bought billboard space in SoHo to deliver an anti-abortion message rooted in recent statistics from the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. They showed that in 2009, 41 percent of all pregnancies here ended in abortion. The abortion rate for black women was even higher, almost 60 percent. Continue reading →
