Pro-choice activists, legal minds: Anti-abortion using famed breast-cancer photo for lie campaign

[blm]

linking abortion to breast cancer.

The pics on this anti-abortion site are intended to be reproduced into huge signs carried during their protests. Note the famous breast-cancer self portrait by the artist/photographer Matuschka that was printed on the cover of NYT magazine cover in 1993. It was the photo that jumpstarted the breast-cancer awareness movement and was chosen in 2003 as one of LIFE magazines 100 most important photos of all time. http://www.matuschka.net/FINALBODSGallery.html


These neanderthals use the photo shamelessly, and from what I've heard they refuse to stop, despite the artist's demands.

What CAN be done? Shouldn't the political arm of the pro-choice movement take this on? Media lawyers? Media Matters?

IMO, these groups are acting more blatantly the last couple years because they feel empowered by this RW Supreme Court and the TeaParty movement.

Warning...I wouldn't suggest clicking past this photo to the main page....this site is as hardball as it gets in the abortion debate.

1. I assume few would confront this group - this IS the hardcore anti-abortion crowd

2. when the truth fails, lie

3. And such a BLATANT lie, that it makes me wonder why pro-choice leaders aren't more confrontational

about what is happening here.
