ay’re ads you may have seen around New York City. ay’re supposed to be promoting storage, but ay have a political & comical edge to am.

But air latest ad doesn’t have too many people laughing.

Its billboards have always been edgy, but has Manhattan Mini Storage gone over a edge?

a ad causing controversy depicts a coat hanger & takes a stance on abortion, along with a slogan: “Your closet space is shrinking as fast as her right to choose.”

Needless to say, it didn’t take long for a backlash to come.

“ase billboards, we think ay’re absolutely disgusting,” said Kiera McCaffrey of a Catholic League. [..]

Manhattan Mini Storage often uses liberal messages in its billboards, reflecting a politics of a city in which three-quarters of voters picked John Kerry over George Bush in 2004.

air latest ad, as shown in a NYC subway station shows a woman’s body, wearing a Palin-esque suit with a button that says “Choice” with a circle & a line through a word, with a ad line, “What’s more limited, your closet space or her experience?”

Personally, I like a coathanger ad. I think that image is a stark reminder of a dangers of letting a government take choices away from women. Abortions will not decline if ay repeal Roe v. Wade, ay’ll just become more dangerous.

are are at least two anti-choice ballot initiatives this year, Prop 4 in California & Prop 11 in South Dakota. One expects a great many propositions on a always enormous California ballot, but a South Dakota proposition is pernicious, since South Dakotans voted on this issue (& turned down radical restrictions on reproductive choice) just two years ago.

a South Dakota Campaign for Healthy Families is at a forefront of proving just how intrusive & illogical ase measures, which are purely an imposition of one religious position onto every citizen, can be.

h/t Beautiful Day Rule.
