Billboards comparing abortion bans to rape have gone up across New Mexico, asking drivers to consider the role that "power and control" might play in laws barring access to abortion.
"Rape is about power and control. So are abortion bans. Keep abortions safe and legal," read the billboards. They were erected by ProgressNow New Mexico, a reform group based in the southwestern state.
Placed along the I-25 between Sante Fe and Albuquerque, the signs are meant to shock their viewers by delivering a strong message.

I understand the angst over not wanting to carry a child and birth it. However, given the widespread availability of birth control, why is this such an issue?

Because birth control is not as well taught amongst the poor and uneducated, where it's needed the most.

Because little 7 year old Tina didn't know her uncle was going to rape her and get her pregnant. Do young children need to start taking birth control because of their potentially rapist family members?
