A controversial billboard in SoHo equating abortion among black women with genocide was yanked Thursday night.
Bowing to heavy pressure, Lamar Advertising Co. agreed to pull the ad above Sixth Ave. and Watts St., which featured a picture of a young black girl below the message, "The most dangerous place for African Americans is in the womb."
The shocking billboard blind-sided New Jersey mom Tricia Fraser, who was furious that her 6-year-old daughter, Anissa, was featured in the anti-abortion group Life Always's ad.
"I want an apology," Fraser, 36, told the Daily News. "I'm happy that it's [being taken down], but at the same time I'm concerned that they can use that image again."

This woman wants a cash settlement from someone, anyone.
After all, she’s outraged!
Kah-Ching!
The bottom line is this: these people do not see abortion as anything more than another form of birth control. It's even easier than going to buy a condom!
They don't see it as 'death' so they are unable to equate it with gun violence or dying as a result of drunk driving.
A few trips to the Maury Povich show should clear that up.
Picture it, Manhattan, 1986. I’m sitting in a waiting room at a modeling agency, because so many people have said I should be there. Grim young moms and other perfect children are all around. My mom has already made up her supermind about it, but agreed to come, to oblige a friend who is certain I’m the next Brooke Shields. Mommy: You don’t need the money, the attention, or the consequences. Why jump on the meat wagon?
But I insisted. Then she read the contract, and my career was nipped in the bud.
No regrets.
Well, if this is the case, then tough crap for the mommy and the daughter....it just goes to show you need to actually read what you sign...
oh no it does not!!! I have been proudly commenting without reading the entire article for over 6 years now... :)
I would “Like” your comment if there was a “Like” button on FR!
Is this the Emmanual Lewis test?
An apology! An apology for saying that the life of a child such as hers should be spared! I mean the very gall of these people. The mother of this child is just as sickening as Al and his ilk. I refuse to call him Rev. Al by the way because he doesn't deserve that title!
What the hell is wrong with this world?! I can barely tolerate living in it anymore! If it weren't for all of the awesome people on these threads and this site in general, I would say that there isn't much hope for it really. However, people like you and many others on here do give me some hope that we can turn it all around someday!
[”The billboard was offensive, especially during Black History Month,” the Rev. Al Sharpton said.]
You have a problem with the truth, Al?
Her kid is a model. You have to sign all kinds of releases in order to get “cash” for your kids picture. So basically, it’s her own damned fault. She wanted the cash, so she signed a release allowing the agency to sell the picture as they please. Otherwise, she would be asking for more than an apology I can bet you that!
I'll bring it up at the next shareholders meeting with JimRob.
Well said!
So just what does “Black History Month” have to do with the truth? Nathan

Take a look at the tag line in Post number 5. Same here - a lot of times I don’t read the whole article because I won’t give the cursed Commie rag where it appears even a click.
It doesn’t matter. If they had a legal right to use the photo for whatever reason, then fine. Otherwise, they should not have used it.
A liberal wrote that comment?
Darn, another stereotype out the window (... although I perceive he's a closet conservative). Well reasoned and written.
Not that a fiscal liberal can't be pro-life, or a social conservative -- but those critters are about as rare as four leaf clovers.
