Children in foster care are being taken care of. The vast majority are NOT adoptable. They are waiting on the process to see if they can be returned to their birth parents.
Meme's never make for a good argument.
Pick another argument and I may agree with you but not this one.
No the vast majority are not an adoptable. There are hundreds of thousands that are available and or age out of the system.
My ex and his best friend aged out of foster care after more than a decade of being shuffled between at times abusive foster home and even more abusive orphanages (aka group homes). Both were adoptable, but as they were older, traumatized (my ex was abused by his parents and when reunification was attempted with his father, his father died by suicide in front of him), and his best friend was disabled. Both ended up on the streets before they were 20. Did you know that most shelters require you to be in by 6 or 7? Kind of hard for a young person working retail/food service jobs to find a bed.
Less than 5% of kids who age out of the foster care system go on to college. Half of the girls give birth to children who end up in foster care themselves. Provided for? Yeah. friggin. right.
I wonder how many services could be provided for children in foster care with the cost of the billboard?

I didn't defend the billboard,I agree the money could be put to better use and it won't let me read the article.
“When I asked our supporters if they wanted to send a pro-life message in Times Square, the answer was a resounding YES,†said SFLA President Kristan Hawkins.
She told LifeNews: “We had to fight to have our message heard as twice companies pulled the plug on our custom-made ad after intensive negotiations. But we don’t give up on college campuses, even when facing threats of violence, and we didn’t give up on sending a message to the vast majority of New Yorkers who reject infanticide and are horrified by the abortion extremism recently legalized in New York.â€
Good for them. Most people in NY don't support infanticide.
True. That's why infanticide is against NY state law. And has been for quite a while now.

Yes, we need to give more money to foster care than to PP and it would be better. PP doesn't even promote adoption as one former PP worker said. Just kill, kill, kill and give them the money, no money for helping babies and kids that have been born. Nice huh?

They are separate issues.
If you want to tackle foster care, go start another thread. Most kids in foster care HAVE PARENTS.

Actually this is a good use I think.
I see pro abortion ads, tshirts, memes, promos, marches, signs, etc. everywhere I look. Blogs, articles, everywhere is pro abortion. Rarely is a prolife viewpoint in a mainstream media. Unless it's being made fun of.
Which of course has nothing to do with abortion and is simply hyperbolic nonsense.
If you had been aborted as an unborn baby, you would not be here today.
