I’m just an ignorant Yank, but is this really a big enough issue in the shit hole states that a billboard is necessary? I can’t even believe this is real!
Born and raised Michigander checking in. There’s a LOT of cultural variation in the Midwest that people gloss over. You can find extremely liberal population centers all around the region. Chicago, Detroit, Ann Arbor, Madison, Lansing, Milwaukee, etc
Same in Oregon. Never seen a “don’t rape your children” bilboard or “don’t shake a baby” bilboard. I do however see a lot of bilboards telling me how a 14 day conceived baby (fetus) has eyes, a beating heart, nails, and maybe a job with current labor laws being pushed. It’s wild how you can outright lie about that shit on a bilboard.
I technically live in southern Illinois near St Louis and I’ve not seen incest sounds only intent ass anti abortion signs. None of which mention when a fetus becomes self aware.
I actually haven’t but I only leave the city after work. The most I’ve seen is churches blaming the pandemic and the climate on lack of faith. I try hard not to look at billboards die to how frustrating they can be.
Growing up in Wisconsin, drunk driving was a serious issue. Especially on New Years and the Fourth of July. The joke was that every little town throughout Wisconsin always had a church and a bar. There were so many alcoholics that would spend every day at those bars. It’s a tradition that probably goes back to the idea of public houses and having bars be a central location where your community gathers. Many people take the drinking part of that too far though and so the anti-drunk driving PSAs were necessary.

I had to drive through the midwest a couple of times. These are everywhere, and not too far from the giant, green JESUS signs.
Edit: the signs are along I-70 in Kansas and Missouri. I don’t care if you haven’t seen them.
Where are we considering “the Midwest” here? I ask because I grew up in northern Illinois, which is a much different Midwest from Kansas or Missouri.
EDIT: I originally typed Kentucky when my brain wanted to type Kansas

Minnesotan here. No incest signs. Lots of drunk driving signs. And, the occasional meth signs down in the SW of the state.
That’s just urban vs. rural.
Kentucky and East of the Mississippi usually isn’t considered Midwest anyway
It absolutely is… Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana—that’s all pretty quintessential Midwest.
Great lakes, I think you mean.
I think you mean the Great Lakes region is in the Midwest.
so what is wisconsin, illinois, indiana, michigan, and ohio general area wise???
Wisconsin is Midwest… that’s west of the Mississippi
Indiana and Ohio are rust belt
um ah. The mississippi river is west of wisconsin and illinois. Its to the left of them on maps. So those state are east of the mississippi.
That’s the Midwest, I’m not sure what West of the Mississippi is though. The plains?
nebraska here and i’ve never seen an incest awareness sign. LOADS of pro life bullshit tho

The signs are just outside of St. Louis.
Your Illinois signs are urging people not to murder each other. Did you forget about those?

About 30% of rape cases against children occur in the close family, so probably yes.(Numbers are from Germany).

This isn’t actually a drunk driving poster though. This is a drunk fucking your daughter PSA.
Yes and also, I doubt the effectiveness of snapping their mind out of this
I sorta need a google maps link showing it. Its just crazy pants.
