Just over 24 hours in New York's Soho endured the controversial anti-abortion poster with the image of a black girl and the message that caused a flurry of protests: "The most dangerous place for an African American is the womb" ... Lamar Advertising Company gave in to pressure and withdrew the bill on Thursday night, although the Texas Association Life Always had paid to maintain the fence for three weeks in the corner of Sixth Avenue and Watts Street.
"The message was offensive to the black community, especially given that we are celebrating the month commemoration of our history," denounced the Rev. Al Sharpton, who joined the informal campaign for the withdrawal of the cartel, initiated by the residents of Soho and seconded by several councilors.
Tricia Fraser, mother of six year old girl that appears in the poster (Anissa Fraser), also expressed outrage and said legal action against Life Always use without consent by the image of his daughter (the photo was taken to an agency child models who posed for the girl and her three sisters a few months).
"I felt a great shock to see my daughter portrayed that way and all eyes on the streets of New York," said the Daily News' mother in New Jersey. "I deserve an apology, but not enough. I worry that they can re-use your image." Always Life Group has not issued any statement after the withdrawal of the cartel.
"I agree that we have gone too far, but the situation has reached too far," he even declared the Rev. Derek McCoy, a member of the board of the association pro-life hung upon the fence. "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. The campaign is especially directed against the clinical work of family planning group Planned Parenthood in the slums of the city.
