Have you ever seen an ad wondering why anyone would ever think to make it, even post it for millions and millions of people to see? One 
ad, which caught many people’s attention, was the ad with an African American girl that reads the most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb. Here is a news article that was presented to the public about the controversial ad.
This billboard, which was on a 3 story building in SoHo Manhattan, was taken down after only one day because of the controversy it caused. Not only does it present the controversial issue of abortion it targets African Americans. This ad presented that many African American women choose to have an abortion, and did not include other races. It is targeting colored people, saying that they are the ones getting an abortion, killing an unborn fetus even though other women go through this procedure as well. Advertisers of this billboard are making African American’s seem like they are murders, and this is racist. The ad gave off the impression that African American’s are dangerous and this is what caused so much talk about how wrong this billboard was, and I agree with its offensiveness.
Since this billboard was so offensive, it quickly was taken away. The anti-abortion Life Always group, which can be read about on this link: http://thatsabortion.com/About%20Life%20Always.htm was addressed for making this controversial ad. However, I would like to inform them of my opinion on their unethical and offensive ad being a viewer of the billboard.
Dear Life Always Group,
I get how you are trying to tell people abortion is wrong, but your ad of this African 
American girl and quote, “the most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb” is absolutely wrong. It is both unethical and offensive to African American’s. We are supposed to be a country of equality and this ad was not presented to be equal at all. You are targeting African American’s, saying they are the ones who abort children and not other races, which in fact they do. African American’s are being treated unfairly and the ad is making it seem like they are the bad guys, killing unborn fetuses.
Being a viewer of this ad I am concerned that the advertisement went to far. However, I am glad this billboard was taken down. You as an anti-abortion group have to present your facts better if you want to show an anti-abortion ad. It is not right to target African American’s for an action other people of all races do as well all over this country.
Sincerely, Courtney Pons
