Of course a billboard in decent taste is fine!

The bigger question is - will it change any minds or bodies? My guess is few or none. In the aggregate it may be the other way around as it will light a fire under activists who believe a woman and her doctor have the right to privacy in such decisions.

Now we're talking philosophy! The dead are many and the living are few....always true.

But here is the catch. To quote my (right leaning) executive sec "Life sux and then you die". To quote the Buddha "Life is Suffering" and even to quote Big J would be to consider that life is pretty useless....a waiting room for the great beyond.

It'll nice to see a prolife ad.
In midtown NYC no one will care. Too busy.

It is a total waste of money. New York City? Liberal NYC? Oh--great idea--that will change a lot of minds.. Not.

I think they are going to be sorry. It will become a joke.

You know how the right wing is always saying that liberals have no idea about rural people? Well this group has no idea about East Coast big city thinking. Get out the popcorn--this is going to be good---New Yorkers have a great sense of humor.

And those that do will laugh, shrug or be totally indifferent to it. This is liberal New York City. It would be like advertising porn in the Bible Belt.

Okay, that's probably not a good analogy.

And if they stopped blocking sex education and promoted birth-control, all those things would reduce the incidence of abortion.

If those results were what they really wanted, that's what they would do. But in fact, they just want to impose totalitarian control and their twisted version of morality on everyone.

About as effective there as atheism billboards would be in Mississippi, I suppose. Things like

"Skip Church. It's All Fake News"

"In Science We Trust"

And so on and so forth.

Abby Johnson says "between doctor and the woman" is false. The abortionist never talks to the woman. The woman just decides to get an abortion, goes in and makes her appointment. She never sees a doctor. The only people at PP is a counselor who is promoting abortions, she has a quota to reach. Adoption is not talked about. If the women brings it up it is discouraged.


Abortion to PP is big business. That is where the money is.

Many tourists go there from around the world. They take time to walk around and see everything. It will be noticed, big time.

How do you know that counselors who work at PP have an abortion quota to make? Have you worked at PP before, so you know first hand?
