A pro-life group announced the launch of a controversial ad campaign this week in Florida that decries abortionists such as Planned Parenthood for targeting African American women.
Texas based pro-life advocacy group Heroic Media will run ads in Jacksonville this week. The advertisements have already been banned in New York, Chicago, Dallas and Houston, and include a billboard with the words: “The Most Dangerous Place for an African American is in the Womb.”
According to the group, an African American baby is three times more likely to be aborted than a white one. Heroic Media also noted that since 1973, abortion has reduced the black population by over 25 percent in the U.S. and that twice as many African Americans have died from abortion than the combined tolls of violent crimes, cancer, heart disease, accidents and AIDS.
“Planned Parenthood is targeting African American women and children by concentrating their abortion facilities in urban neighborhoods,” states the campaign website, www.ppabortsaa.org. “In the process, they have managed to successfully kill the hope and future of the next generation of African Americans.”
