STV Productions analyzes a recent anti-choice campaign where race is used as a method of "proving" that abortion is a conspiracy set out to kill babies. Just a thought, if they wanted to inform the public of the racist plot on killing black babies, maybe they should of created an ad campaign that wasn't racist. Last time I checked, all humans are the SAME species. Black people are Homo Sapiens too, folks. FYI. Plus its just plain f****d up to talk about a child as if they were a tiger or a panda. Not that I don't give props to tigers and pandas, but WTF? Its playing directly off of the historical exoticism of people of color as animalistic and "primitive," which in sad reality does make it more likely for white people to take an interest. Its like the SPCA billboards for adopting cute, wide-eyed baby animals, except this time its baby humans...
