Amused by billboard hijinks

Letter to the editor.

Editor :

I was so happy that you published the picture for the ‘Dark Sense of Humour’ blurb. I did not get to see this in person and am glad I didn’t miss it.

I am extremely pro-choice and think this was hilarious. Everyone has their right to express their opinion, so therefore I have to have pro-life billboards shoved down my throat. You hardly ever see pro-choice billboards, now do ya? Abortions In Canada.ca is an informational site which, in my opinion, sways to the anti-abortion side.

These particular culprits may not have meant to make a political or moral argument. But if this was just a joke, there are not many other more sensitive billboard subjects to attack!

There are many reasons why a girl/woman may decide to keep or not to keep a pregnancy and its nobody’s business whether she does or not. Insufficient income. No family support. Health issues. Underage. Rape. And there are other positive worldly outcomes as well. Population control. Healthy upbringing. I could go on. Choice; that is the beauty of our modern world.
