A Billboard in Austin, Texas reads “The Most Dangerous Place For Black People Is The Womb” The Grio is reporting that the owner of the billboard is a faith-based non-profit targeting African-Americans abortions.
“The Most Dangerous Place for An African American is in the Womb.” Although the statement is clear, the message is not. The billboard was placed there by Heroic Media, a faith-based non-profit out of Austin Texas that promotes alternatives to abortion. The billboard was paid for by ticket sales from an event in Jacksonville, featuring Sarah Palin.
“While African Americans make up thirteen percent of the population in America, they represent 36 percent of the abortions in the United States,” says Marissa Gabrysch from Heroic Media. “In the African American community, twice as many deaths have occurred due to abortions than the combined totals of violent crime, cancer, heart disease and AIDS,” she continues.
