Freedom of Speech?

[Drako]

I saw this online and wondered what everyone else's thoughts were...


A New Mexico man's decision to lash out with a billboard ad saying his ex-girlfriend had an abortion against his wishes has touched off a legal debate over free speech and privacy rights.
The sign on Alamogordo's main thoroughfare shows 35-year-old Greg Fultz holding the outline of an infant. The text reads, "This Would Have Been A Picture Of My 2-Month Old Baby If The Mother Had Decided To Not KILL Our Child!"

Freedom of Speech? Or going too far?

It's not as if it displays his name, or has any type of distinguishable features other than his face. I doubt every person on that roadway knows the guy. I understand maybe the mother would be upset, but I don't see why some folks wouldn't just perceive it as a pro life ad.

I understand maybe the mother would be upset...

As upset as a father who's child was murdered by someone he at one time trusted? I doubt it.

Totally free speech! Good for him! Too many women talk about THEIR "rights", and have no concern for the fathers rights, wishes, etc...
I didn't see in the story anywhere that the un-mother is named or pictured on the sign, yet she thinks that it is invading or diminishing her right to privacy?!? Screw her, he has a right to express his opinion and speak out in a legal manner!
By the way, what ever happened to the "FAMILY" in America?

Although not very tasteful, it is definitely free speech.

Not very tasteful? Compared to say, voluntarily killing your unborn child?

Dupe.
