(AP) -- Ads that proclaim "Black Children Are An Endangered Species" are raising eyebrows in Atlanta.

The 65 billboards, one of which is pictured above, are simple -- just that phrase, a large photo of a child's face, and the Web site, TooManyAborted.com.

That site includes statements such as "The majority of Georgia's abortion clinics are located in urban areas where blacks reside," and promotes a controversial set of beliefs about birth control activist Margaret Sanger and the origins of Planned Parenthood

In a New York Times story about the billboards, Catherine Davis of Georgia Right to Life -- one of the sponsors of the billboard campaign (the other is The Radiance Foundation) -- explained the ads by saying that, "The impact of abortion has become so great that it has begun to impact the fertility rate" in the black community.

The idea that abortion clinics are specifically "targeting" pregnant black women is not new. A 2001 paper from the New York University History Department titled "Birth Control or Race Control? Sanger and the Negro Project," describes efforts by the Birth Control Federation of America (which later became Planned Parenthood) to provide contraceptives to the black community as "constructed in terms and with perceptions that today smack of racism."
