Commentary on a New York Post editorial

I stumbled across an editorial in the New York post, http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/editorials/first_amendment_flameout_3lLZOqIUY2WW02oNhlYzyO, that talks about how an anti-abortion billboard was taken down in the streets on New York City as two mayoral candidates strongly opposed the message.   The ad showed a picture of a young black girl and read, "The most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb".  I personally am a big fan of being straight up and up front, and I absolutely hate "beating around the bush" so to speak.  So, as you can imagine I enjoyed the somewhat harsh, and direct message that this billboard was displaying.  This billboard was based entirely on factual evidence.  Sometimes the trush is hurtful, but it needs to be heard in order for the American people to progress and prosper in this life.    The facts are that African-Americans make up 13 percent of the US population, but account for more than 30 percent of all abortions.  In New York City where the billboard was posted, the factual numbers are even more surprising.  The numbers show that in New York City, 60 percent of black pregnancies end in abortion, 3 abortions per 2 live births.  To be quite frank, this startling percentage disgusts me, to think that we can decide who lives or not, a power which should be strictly and totally given to God.  As you can tell, I'm strongly anti-abortion and an advocate of free speech, and so is the writer of this editorial.  The writer continually questions Council Speaker Christine Quinn and Public Advocate Bill de Blasio.  Some of the questions include, "is New York City's 41% abortion rate not high enough for Ms. Quinn"?, "was the billboard's message so subversive that it had to be burned, along with the First Ammendment of free speech".  I believe that taking down the sign was politically wrong given the fact that the Constitution gives the American people the right to free speech.  The abortion percentages for the US and New York City are totally unacceptable and it is our duty as citizens to make these facts well known to the population, in order for us to fix these problems and create a healthier society.  I yearn for a government that one day would have a stronger basis in moral values and which lives in agreement with God.  Sadly, I believe that the total opposite will happen as the years progress, and these startling abortion percentages will continue to increase.  The number one thing we can do is tell everyone of these facts, but if that is taken away from us then our unalienable rights are slowly, but surely diminishing.
