      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

          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.

          The signs are just outside of St. Louis.

          Your Illinois signs are urging people not to murder each other. Did you forget about those?

            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.

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

      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.
