- StephJ, on 10/10/2007, -21/+136I find it funny that Kiera McCaffrey of the Catholic League says, "These billboards, we think they're absolutely disgusting." Has she ever seen some of the vile garbage the Catholics like to show us all on the way to brunch? Graphic Fetus shots blown up 200%. These people have totally outer limits. I think the hanger gets the point across, but probably not to these neo-con psychopaths.
- pandasonic, on 10/10/2007, -11/+97IT'S A ***** AD! IT'S THEIR ***** CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT.
On the other hand, I do think the abortion of fetuses is wrong. Women should have their babies, then kill them. - omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 10/10/2007, -5/+88these ads are predominantly in Chelsea, which means chances are they are offending no one in the area.
- masterkenobi, on 10/10/2007, -17/+95It's not "Pro-Abortion". It's "Pro-Choice".
- acp101010, on 10/10/2007, -9/+63That's a load of garbage. I had an abortion at 22 and am glad I did so under the circumstances. It did not harm me physically or mentally, and I have gone on to have a happy marriage and two healthy children with a supportive partner. The claim that abortion, by a qualified doctor, causes women physical problems and mental problems is just untrue. There government's own data has never found any link between abortion and future mental or physical problems. By the way, far more women experience severe depression after giving birth (post-partum depression) than after abortion - so if the real concern is a woman's mental health, one actually would provide warnings and extra mental health support for women who give birth and become mothers.
- AriaStar, on 10/10/2007, -6/+56What about a man's right to not be a parent?
I'm a pro-life women. It's not right nor equal that a woman can choose not to be a parent, but a man has no choice, and must support the woman and the baby. A man should be allowed to abort his parental responsibility if a woman has the right. - Koldkompress, on 10/10/2007, -9/+58Apart from Jews were real, living people. Early abortions (The only kind I agree with - do it before the kid has consciousness in my opinion) are just a bunch of cells. A spider has more of a personality then a fetus, but I don't see you campaigning for the rights of a bath-tub spider.
- thegreeneyedkri, on 10/10/2007, -5/+53I do not see anything wrong with the add. It was supposed to be witty and uses the coat hanger because it works for both themes-your closet and the fact that people got abortions before they will legal and will keep doing it, representing the "back alley" abortions. They should be allowed to make a statement about something if they want. They are free to do so. If people don't like it, then they just don't have to store stuff with them. Plain and simple.
- kinerry, on 10/10/2007, -12/+57Pro-choice is not the same as Pro-abortion you ***** TWIT!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -9/+46Thank you Manhattan Mini Storage. If I still lived there, I would rent storage from you solely to support you.
- ScrewedThePooch, on 10/10/2007, -5/+41I tend to believe that having an abortion after being raped would be less traumatizing to a woman than having to give birth to her rapist's baby.
- GottIstTot, on 10/10/2007, -10/+45That ad may, in fact, be awesome.
- Falldog, on 10/10/2007, -4/+37I don't know what the issue is. It does exactly what a billboard needs to do and captures your interest.
- PhoenixAvatar2, on 10/10/2007, -3/+34You realize that all this controversy is going to help them. That's what controversy is, free advertising.
- dallascorbin504, on 10/10/2007, -1/+31Amen! what are you doing later on? u want to grab a couple of drinks?
- ScrewedThePooch, on 10/10/2007, -9/+35Their undeveloped brains cannot comprehend pain or suffering. This has been proven many times. Do research before spouting your Nazi *****.
- gropo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+27Heh check out what this dickface wrote a week ago in regards to the flooding we had: (again, first post, as though he stalks NYC stories)
"I have no sympathy for the city-dwelling NYC crowd. These are people who eat their own young, are incredibly rude and believe the world revolves around them. A good cleansing of the entire city is in good order and this was a good first step."
Somebody has some serious inferiority issues... - NikoKun, on 10/10/2007, -18/+41As far as the Anti side goes...
It should ALWAYS be a choice for women, if your against it, don't do it! But you have no say over what other people do with their bodies... I don't understand why these nutbags want to ban Abortion... When it's regulated and done early enough, there is nothing wrong with it. These same people, want to force rape victims to have the children of the person who raped them... -_- ***** *****. Possibility for life to form, means nothing...
Freedom of Choice! This is America! =P
That being said, the ad, intentional or otherwise, was in poor taste... lol - mlbrennan, on 10/10/2007, -12/+33or one could surmise that this company believes in the separation of church and state
- omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 10/10/2007, -3/+24you deserve to be aborted for using nazi equivocation tactics in an argument regarding anything!
- knde, on 10/10/2007, -6/+27What really irks me about the anti-abortion crowd is their (in my opinion) very faulty logic of, "Oh we want to protect the fetuses right."
That's all very well and good. A commendable effort in fact, but if LOGIC trumped emotion, you’d think they'd start by protecting the rights of babies and children who already EXIST! You know the babies who aren't being properly taken care of by their drug-addicted mothers, the ones who are abused by alcoholic fathers, the ones who have no one to help them etc.
I'm all for protecting children and looking out for them. I have conservative views on abortion myself, but quite frankly until there isn't a need for my help/charity in protecting actual living children I'm not inclined to deny any woman her right to abort a fetus. - Bajeda, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19Nevermind that many women will get abortions anyways if it is illegal, meaning they will be putting themselves at risk doing so on the black market, and others will just use the coat hanger shown to do it themselves. I'm guessing you are a huge proponent of the war on drugs and think society would end if gay marriage, prostitution, or drugs were ever legalized.
- chawkie, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21I like how you made sure to post it twice, just so everyone notices how smart and clever you are...
- mlbrennan, on 10/10/2007, -11/+29comments like this are borne of ego and nothing more - you think you are a superior human being to someone who disagrees with you - how Arrogant - How Wrong of YOU!!! What an embarassment to this country you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- ladybug12, on 10/10/2007, -9/+26I love it!!! It's about time pro-choice activists started showing some balls!! It's not graphic, it does not show an unborn or an aborted fetus. It simply spells out the truth, although I don't think women use coat hangers anymore. Hell they can run across the border to Mexico since that country made abortion legal. I am pro-choice and women need to start realizing that without speaking up and fighting for our rights, they will be diminished I promise you that. Either with this administration or the next one.
- krolm, on 10/10/2007, -3/+20i don't mind it at all. the manhattan mini storage ads often crack me up. that ad is actually right next to my building and across from the cbs broadcasting center.
- abid786, on 10/10/2007, -4/+21You fail at life. Try again.
- Koldkompress, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Your perception amazes me.
- luther70, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18Agreed. I had to deal with this in traffic where they had a van plastered with these images all over in congested traffic.
- luther70, on 10/10/2007, -4/+20The religious right and Muslim extremists share a lot of common ground.
- lordsandwich, on 10/10/2007, -4/+19I know where I'M storing my pile of dead babies!
- expliquezvous, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15Women with a family history of breast cancer are close to 50% more likely to develop breast cancer simply by HAVING BREASTS. And the "hormonal chaos" you're saying occurs after an abortion is nearly identical to the "hormonal chaos" in post-partum women. It's being pregnant that disrupts a woman's natural hormonal balance out of necessity to sustain the pregnancy. Ending it by live birth or termination makes no difference. I second ScrewedThePooch: the emotional trauma of carrying a baby to term that was conceived through rape or sexual assault is inflicting further punishment on someone who was already victimized.
- Smuikas, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15Actually, um, chelsea is filled with: models who wouldn't get pregnant in the first place because it would ruin their figure, and gay men.
- geometry, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18"Women today need to stop accepting the garbage that Planned Parenthood and NARAL are flinging at them." Yeah, great idea. Stop accepting facts and start going to church where you're told what to do and think without reasoning.
+1000 for you buddy - Novagenesis, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16A Modest Proposal. Eat em or sell em to the rich to eat
- fnaqzna, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Pro-abortion and pro-choice aren't even remotely the same thing.
I don't know anyone that is pro-abortion. - StarlessKnight, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15The wire hanger is one of the original symbols of the abortion movement. Why? Because illegal abortions could often be done by desperate woman deprived the care of off-shore doctors (the rich got that privilege), which would involve the use of a wire hanger that might not just result in severe injury to either fetus or pregnant woman, but death to one or both. It's also similar to the Crucifix, wouldn't you say? Gruesome method of execution used as a championing symbol for one's cause. Sticks in the mind.
- geometry, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16The way I see it is that when the fetus can survive outside of it's mothers womb is when it becomes a child.
- omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 10/10/2007, -4/+17no, it's funny, you just have no sense of humor
- Bajeda, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16Considering drug use and prostitution hasn't gone away or even declined throughout human history despite numerous authorities trying to ban them over the years, what makes you think you can just stop people from having abortions by banning it? You will still have people having abortions except it will be even less healthy for the women as they will go to unprofessional blark market locations to do so, putting themselves at risk. Great thinking there buddy.
- thegreeneyedkri, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13See, and I think its wrong to not allow women to speak unless spoken to and to have them walk behind the man at all times. Or that its okay to burn or stone a girl in your family who was raped because she is no longer pure and has shamed her family by being raped.
You do know that the US is not the only county to have legalized abortion right? - Jargonaut06, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12There was a coat hangar? Wow I think you are the only one who caught that.
- iamdeirdre, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14COWARD SITTING BEHIND A COMPUTER SCREEN
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14And I suppose you're willing to take care of all the unwanted children that would be born should your desire to ban abortions be fulfilled? Or would you whine about how much of a strain they're putting on our society like the rest of these hypocritical conservative religious fuctards
- theseaweedking, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13Fight abortion! Ban wire hangers!
/sarcasm - ashwinmudigonda, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14This is ad million times better than the douchebag anti-abortionists portray. Partially mutilated fetuses with forceps stuck through their eyes. And this is plastered around a pickup, stretched to fit the entire surface. Compare that ***** with a coat hanger. At least, if you are illiterate, the NYC ad won't make sense to you. I hope all the anti-abortionist chicks have septuplets in their next pregnancy, which should be an accident. That should teach 'em and then wipe out their DNA.
- KraftDinner101, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11I'd love to see you have to tell women or even little girls who get raped that they HAVE to give birth to their rapist's baby. What if your daughter was impregnated by a pedophile? I think your views would change.
- svenathon, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12I'm not sure I've ever seen a longer way of saying "Oh, a pun!"
- Novagenesis, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Tell consistency to the Spanish Inquisition.
Oh, and how the priests protect altar boys (yeah, I went there) - atheinostic, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14'There is nothing in the Constitution regarding "separation of church and state" in the first place. '
Yes there is, its called the Establishment Clause. -
