It does strike me as a ban on political speech.

If the city banned only pro-life messages I agree. The fact that they are banning all messages by airplanes is not a first admendment issue. If a city does not want planes flying over its beaches with ADs on them they can do so. I am pro-life however the city is in the right on this instance. It would be the same if the city wanted to ban all billboards within city limits. It is their right and something they should be allowed to do.

"aircraft towing large graphic images of aborted babies ... "

One person doesn't have a right to MAKE people look at or listen to or look at them or whatever they may be spewing. I don't care whether the issue is unwanted internet porn shoved in your face or giant pictures of mutilated babies, in examples such as these where all standards of human decency seem to be disregarded, things shouldn't be BANNED everywhere, nor should they be allowed everywhere, and their rights should end where mine begin...
