Ethics: Should a boyfriend protest his girlfriend’s abortion decision on a billboard?

If you happened to be driving on the White Sands Boulevard in Alamogordo, NM recently, you would probably have noticed the billboard. It showed a middle-aged man holding the outline/silhouette of a baby and declared, “This would have been a picture of my 2-month old baby if the mother had decided to NOT KILL our child.“ Aside all the controversy about the particular people involved (we’ll talk about that on the show as well), what do you think about this particular form of public persuasion? Do you find this billboard useful? Invasive? Harrassing? Libelous? Should a Christian put up a billboard like this? We’ll talk about it tonight.
