Life Always/Heroic Media to discontinue use of girl’s image on billboards
Life Always, the group behind controversial billboards aimed at Planned Parenthood, yesterday announced its decision to halt using the image of a young girl in its media campaign. #
The group, an arm of Texas-based Heroic Media, recently unveiled a billboard in New York’s Soho neighborhood that was so controversial, it came down after one day. #
The billboard read, “The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb,” with an image of a young African-American girl in the foreground. The mother of the young girl featured on the billboard was shocked at the use of her daughter’s image, and demanded an apology from Life Always. In yesterday’s press release, the group said that, though they had every right to use it (the image was taken from a set of stock photos), they would discontinue its use “out of respect for the little girl and her family.” #
The billboard was part of the group’s “Planned Parenthood aborts African Americans” campaign, and similar billboards have gone up in Florida and Texas. Shortly after the Soho billboard was unveiled, Planned Parenthood released a statement, accusing Life Always of “using a divisive message around race to restrict access to medical care.” #
Life Always board member and Heroic Media founder Brian Follett has equated Planned Parenthood’s work to “genocide” in the past. Follett’s controversial comments have led some former supporters of the group to distance themselves from Heroic’s efforts, while still others continue to speak at functions hosted by the group. Presidential hopefuls Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin have both worked with Heroic Media, and neither has issued a comment regarding Follet’s comments or the group’s controversial media campaign. #
Many in Atlanta’s minority population have become aware of Planned Parenthood’s goals of eradicating the minorities. They realize they are the target. Planned Parenthood places it facilities in their neighborhoods and from these bases decimates them. Margaret Sanger should be proud of her exterminators. Not quite as brutal as the exterminator in the movie but with a psychological arsenal that has duped the liberals into being powerful alies in their war on the very minorities that they claim to be best friends. “Best Friends” who want to destroy their children! Children are the true wealth of a nation.
New York is too liberal for Life Always. Life Always needs to establish their powerful billboards in areas where the people have not been brainwashed like Atlanta. When they build an arsenal and ground support then they can attack the drones of New York and try to reeducate the liberal brainwashed masses of the New England wasteland. Make no mistake this is WAR!
(this was fun!)
Phil,
If children are the wealth of a nation, why do pro-life leaders routinely vote against access to healthcare and education for children?
Texas Alliance for Life testified in the Legislature yesterday against a bill that would protect funding for a program that is the only access to healthcare some low-income children have in this state?
Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger do not have the power to fool the black community. That’s ridiculous. In fact, Dr. Martin Luther Kind, Coretta Scott King, and Julian Bond (NAACP) all support/ed Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger’s crusade to make birth control available to all women.
Did you know that the first clinic in Harlem was built in 1930 at the request of the Colored Women’s Club?
There’s a war all right. It’s the same war that’s raged for years. Convince folks of good conscious that you can’t trust black women to have kids or raise them. On the one hand claim there’s a genocide, and on the other do nothing about the real, systemic problems (unemployment, hunger, breast cancer, diabetes, hypertension, housing) faced by people of color all over this country.
