Anissa Fraser's billboard in NYC
  • Her daughter appeared in an ad without her knowledge.

  • After the Supreme Court ruled in favor of abortion rights, the mom of four had a bad memory.

  • Anissa was four years old when she posed for the ad.

When she heard about the overturn of the abortion law, she thought of when her daughter became the face of the anti- abortion movement.

A photograph of her daughter Anissa was displayed on a billboard without her knowledge or consent.

Anissa wore a pink sundress and a white bow in her hair when she was four years old. The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb.

Fraser told Insider that it was horrible. She said that using her image in that light was bad.

The sign was taken down. Fraser claimed to have taken legal action against Life Always.

I wanted them to take it down because I was sad about it, the 48 year old said. I wanted to make it worse.

She was upset that Anissa's picture was used to depict African Americans in a bad light.

The lawsuit was successful, according to Fraser. She wouldn't comment on that part of the case.

Fraser said she believed in abortion rights and was concerned about women's rights being taken away

The Supreme Court's ruling, which allows each state to decide its own abortion laws, led to a repeat of the distress caused by the ad 11 years ago.

The single mom didn't know that Anissa's picture would be used for a campaign that Fraser didn't like.

She said that as the mother of four daughters and the grandmother of a 6-year-old girl, she felt sad for them and that they wouldn't be able to choose what they wanted to do.

Fraser said that Anissa was aware of the Supreme Court's policy reversal and that she had read about her involvement in the abortion debate.

At the time, she was too young to remember, but she found it.

The photographer who took Anissa's photo 13 years ago said he would use it for stock photography, along with pictures of Fraser's other daughters, who are now between the ages of 16 and 26. Two years earlier, Fraser had signed a release.

The agreement made it clear that the shots couldn't be used in a negative way.

The ad was attached to a tall building in Manhattan.

The anti-abortion group that created the ad was accused of being 'highly offensive'

Fraser said that everyone could see it. She went to take a picture of the ad. Fraser heard that Anissa's face was on billboards in other parts of the US and on anti-abortion pamphlets that Life Always had distributed overseas.

CBS8 reported that a board member for Life Always who's Black had compared abortion to a "genocidal plot."

"I respect different points of view, and every woman has the right to personal choices in regards to her body," said Letitia James in a statement. It is offensive to compare abortion to terrorism.

The Life Always crusade was called an offensive and condescending effort to stigmatize and shame African-American women by the reproductive and sexual health provider.
