The Three-Week Billboard: Gone in a New York Minute

February 25, 2011 by Gerard M. Nadal

The Billboard erected on Wednesday by Life Always, telling the message that the most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb, was taken down the very next day.

Gone in a New York Minute.

Al Sharpton crawled out of his sewer to provide the appropriate faux outrage. The company that erected the billboard claimed as their rationale for removing the sign that restaurant employees in the building hosting the sign were being harassed, and that they were concerned that violence might ensue.

That’s right. The people who proclaim CHOICE will harass waitresses just trying to scrape out a living, and threaten violence unless theirs is the only voice heard. These are the same people who are going to pass a bill on Wednesday of next week which will effectively shut down crisis pregnancy centers in New York City.

Abortion MUST be the ONLY act in town.

Obviously, the proabort crowd in NYC does not think that 60% of all African American pregnancies ending in abortion is too many. Their revulsion and disgust were saved for those who tried to bring this atrocity to light, So it begs the questions:

If 60% of all African Americans who come into existence never make it out of their mother’s wombs, what was so untruthful or offensive about that billboard?

If 60% doesn’t make the bile rise in the back of their throats, then 60% is an acceptable number to them, no?

Since 60% is not an objectionable number, what is?

70% ?
80% ?
90% ?
95% ?

So, at least we now have Council Speaker Christine Quinn on record as not objecting to such appalling numbers. The same for Public Advocate Bill De Blasio, and Al Sharpton.

These are not liberals. Liberalism has always looked at poverty and tried to ameliorate it. It has tried to do all that it could to keep families intact, to lift them up when poverty threatened them with death and dissolution. As a young man, I was proudly liberal, because liberalism was taken up with the corporal works of mercy. Many liberals back then detested abortion, and regarded it as extremist and monstrous.

Times have changed.

Today, liberalism sees death as the sole solution to life’s vexing problems. If killing 60% of African Americans in the womb were the necessary pre-condition for young women to advance economically, unencumbered by a child, then Harlem and East New York ought to resemble Scarsdale and Beverly Hills. Black neighborhoods ought to be awash with college degrees and economic prosperity.

In truth, they are more desperate and dismal than at any time before legalized abortion.

In Brooklyn, NY, we call that a clue.

Bitches and Ho’s are how young black women have been celebrated in rap music for decades.

That, too, is a clue.

When we remove responsibility for the consequences of sexual behavior, the body becomes nothing more than a plaything. When Planned Parenthood operates 78% of their operation in inner-city neighborhoods and facilitates this understanding of the body, the predictable disaster of a 60% abortion rate necessarily follows.

This is big business, and the abortion industry has its hands firmly on the levers of power here in New York. Tragically, most of our leaders have so completely sold out that 60% of black pregnancies ending in abortion is to them, like water rolling off a duck’s back.

It was a great effort, Life Always. The targeting of your billboard by the abortion industry mirrors the targeting of the very black babies on whose blood they feed, and whom you are trying to save.

The babies, the billboard, all gone in a New York Minute.

    Funny – I just posted a response in the previous post about this when this post popped up. If I were Life Always, I would be screaming for a refund. I’m sure the space was purchased for a particular period of time, probably for more than a day, you think?!

    Hey Gerry, can you rally your pro-life friends to contact Lamar Advertising about this, or would that backfire?

    Don’t get me started on Al Sharpton. I’m originally from Dutchess County, home of the infamous Tawana Brawley hoax. He contributed greatly to ruining the names of at least a couple men, and brought a black mark to my home area. He is evil, and it blows my mind that any thinking, rational black – no, make that ANY thinking, rational person, period – would support him.

    Many people heard about the sign. The message got out. Thanks be to God.

    Gerard,
    Great article with some great points made!

    Amen, Gerard.

    And Amen, Yankee. I couldn’t agree more.

    Great article as always. Society is extremely sick but identifiable as Fabian Socialism.

    Excellent article Gerard.Thanks for posting it and sharing with us all.

    While at face value it may seen like the pro aborts won, the real story is National now, making the rounds on Facebook and the news.

    The way I see it, many many more people know about the sign than the ones driving by — this story has not only gone National but worldwide.

    They did not really win anything, now did they??

    Great perspective on the story. I especially like this pithy line: “That’s right. The people who proclaim CHOICE will harass waitresses just trying to scrape out a living, and threaten violence unless theirs is the only voice heard.”

    @ Mary & Michele – your optimism at the demise of Free Speech concerns me. It seems patriots are settling for a lot less these days. I really think we shouldn’t celebrate over being bullied by being thankful that an edited message got wider circulation.

    That shows the utter idolatry (not esteem) with which we hold the traditional media. They are biased and corrupt, yet we’re still ready for our close-up?

    Thank you for your post. What an extraordinary billboard that *was*. At a pro-life march in 2007 in Aurora, IL, we took the photo at the following link, and I’ve always felt it would make a great billboard too; it will take buckets of prayers to get these sorts of images out there to be seen. Thanks again for the post.
