Wait... For free!?
Starting this week, the New York City subway system will be flooded with a massive anti-abortion ad campaign…
The 2,000 ads, which subway travelers will see in nearly every subway station beginning tomorrow, depict either a woman saying, “I thought life would be the way it was before,” or a man saying, “I often wonder if there was something I could have done to help her.”
The ads haven’t been unveiled yet, but they’re already stirring up controversy, particularly from pro-choice organizations… and sassy homosexuals with blogs…
“The campaign suggests that feelings of sadness and self-harm are the universal experiences for someone who had an abortion,” said Samantha Levine of NARAL Pro-Choice New York. “And there’s no evidence to suggest that that’s true.”
Yeah, that’s total bullshit, but free speech is free speech…
In my humble opinion, the MTA should counter the anti-abortion ads with this photo of Lindsay Lohan riding the NYC Subway system, brandishing the warning:
“Look how fucked your kid could turn out… Think about it…”
Phew… I get chills…
Click here to email the MTA and tell them that public subways aren’t the place to push your personal values on other people…
Well, unless you’re “Montgomery Moose-Knuckle“…
Nobody minds him…
(Thanks, A-Rich for the tip!)

I recommend ad busting by adding to the ads. For example: To “I often wonder if there was something I could have done to help her.” I’d add “Like wearing a condom.” Or on the “I thought life would be the way it was before” ad which continues “Abortion changes things.” I’d add “But not as much as having a child.” Other ideas?
Large stickers you can print out in advance work great.
