I just like saying "I should really go update my blog."

thedailywhat: Controversial Campaign of the Day: A recently unveiled billboard sponsored by the anti-abortion group Life Always is courting controversy on the corner of Watts St. and 6th Ave in SoHo, and beyond. “The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb,” reads the sign, which is part of a national campaign targeting the black community. “During Black History Month, we celebrate our history, but our future is in jeopardy as a genocidal plot is carried out through abortion,” Life Always Board Member Pastor Stephen Broden is quoted as saying. Planned Parenthood, which has a clinic situated a half-mile from the location of the billboard, released a statement calling the campaign “a reprehensible tactic,” adding that “Planned Parenthood knows that every woman, of every background, takes her health decisions seriously and makes deeply personal decisions after consulting with her doctor and with loved ones she trusts.” [gothamist.] how can you pretend to be a good person, an “advocate” for the human race, and put up something like this in what is surely a predominantly african-american community. what a shitty, shitty thing to do
