According to an article by Errin Haines printed yesterday "the message on dozens of billboards across the city is provocative: Black children are an 'endangered species.'"
As the image depicts, the eyebrow-raising ads feature a young black child being displayed as an effort by the anti-abortion movement to use race to rally support within the black community. The reaction from black leaders has been mixed, but the "Too Many Aborted" campaign, which so far is unique to only Georgia, is drawing support from other anti-abortion groups across the country.

There have even been GOOD things said and done about the black race, and they even said it was racist then!!
All this billboard is going to do is cause an uproar as usual. The people who put this up should know that.
They obviously have never been to Atlanta or B'ville, for that matter.
How is stating there are more blacks in Atlanta being RACIST???!! It is just a FACT..
How about let's not get pregnant with a crack baby to start with? Or for that matter any unwanted baby? It is entirely possible, despite what all the liberals want you to think, to have sex without producing a child.
In fact, there is an entire medical industry built around preventing unwanted pregnancies.
All these pro-choice people forget that there is a choice before the pregnancy too.
Oh and just to head off the "rape and incest" crowd, that is only 1% of all abortions. So of the 3700 daily abortions, 3.7 of them are from rape and incest. That leaves 3696.3 pregnancies per day that could have been prevented by the pill, condom, abstinence or one of the dozens of other means of pregnancy prevention.

And one other interesting statistic, you are 3 times more likely to have an abortion if you are black.
