Second Look’s Anti-Choice Ads: The Savvy Spread of Misinformation
Bad? Brilliant?

As residents and visitors to the DC area may have noticed, an organization called The Second Look Project has blanketed DC metro buses with anti-choice ads. Second Look (an initiative of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops) has eschewed the screed and scare-tactics of its anti-choice predecessors for the more nuanced “Have We Gone Too Far?”

This media-savvy incarnation of the anti-choice movement is hardly any more persuasive, however, being ultimately dependent on the familiar logical gymnastics and misinformation of the right.

 The National Women’s Alliance does a thorough job debunking many of the campaign’s claims, but some have opted for a more direct approach.

Turnabout?

So I'm guessing that you would have no problem if a pro-life person wrote over a pro-choice ad as well?

Turnabout is fair play, no?

Absolutely no problem at all. I'm happy to see the wall of sanctity around adverts in general taken down, and I don't mind if whoever is doing so disagrees with my views.

I personally have never seen any pro-choice ad campaigns with success enough that they could be defaced by anti-choicers to begin with. Apples and oranges kind of situation.
