A black girl with innocent eyes and pink dress, look for pedestrians and motorists from a billboard as asking compassion. Above it, the sign proclaims bluntly: "The most dangerous place for an African American is the womb." The ad, paid for by the anti-abortion group of 'Texas Life Always', has brought the dispute to the streets of New York.
Democratic Councilman Charles Barron has been the first to denounce as "racist" and asked the City Council to intervene to remove from view. The fence is, however, provisionally for three weeks at a strategic crossroads with heavy traffic in SoHo on Sixth Avenue at Watts Street. "I agree that we have gone too far, but the situation has come too far," argued the Rev.
Derek McCoy, a member of the board of Life Always. "The proportion of abortions among the black community is alarming, and that is what we are denouncing." African Americans make up 12.8% of the population yet accounted for 36% of the abortions performed in America. In New York, the proportion grows to almost half.
An embryo 'black' is three times more likely to be 'aborted' an embryo 'white', according to Life Always. The campaign is especially directed against the clinical work of family planning group Planned Parenthood in the slums of large cities, where the highest number of abortions. "The billboard is offensive and discriminatory," he replied Joan Malin, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood in New York.
"This is an effort to stigmatize and humiliate black women." "I wanted to see with my own eyes to believe it," said Scott Moreland, an African American cab driver who decided to deviate from its route to take a snapshot of the sign with your mobile phone. "I'm going to teach my wife tonight, but I know exactly what you just think is outrageous." "It's the truth, expressed in a very clear," argued for his part Chris Slattery, the head of Mother Care FrontLine anti-abortion group.
"The figures speak for themselves: since 1973 has been more than 13 million abortions among African Americans compared to 2.2 million deaths from heart disease or 300,000 per accident and violent deaths."
