Anti-Abortion Ad in San Francisco Angers Abortion activists

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:
Bay Area abortion-rights activists say a Roman Catholic group's advertisements on hundreds of BART trains and in scores of stations -- attacking the Supreme Court's Roe vs. Wade decision and asking "Abortion: Have we gone too far?" -- have gone too far in a region known for its progressive politics.

Many of the ads have been torn down or defaced since the campaign began three weeks ago.

"I think every woman has noticed them,'' said Suzanne "Sam" Joi, a member of Code Pink, a social justice and anti-war group. "I couldn't believe BART would allow something like this. Why are they doing this?''
Great moments in free speech in the Blue city of San Francisco.How ironic,San Francisco with a declining school population is worried about abortion.No wonder they have more dogs than children in that town.
