Soooo perhaps I’m a bit late in commenting on this but has anyone seen this Manhattan Mini Storage ad on the West Side Highway (near 42nd Street)?
Honestly, I’m surprised it’s up. After doing some research I found plenty of articles discussing how offended anti-abortion groups were by the ad. But what about pro-choice people? Are any of them offended?Because I’m pro-choice and I find the billboard to be quite tacky. I mean, I guess its great that a company is using it’s visability to point fingers at a social problem but the image of wire hanger? Really? It just makes me squrim. It also seems lame to associate abortion rights and closet space. Isn’t there a better way to address the issue of abortion rights?Then again, the idea of a woman’s rights being taken away is so obscene, perhaps some feel as though the only way to argue the pro-choice point is with obscenities as well.To learn more about abortion rights visit http://www.now.org/issues/abortion/.
