When was the last time you drove through Alamogordo, N.M.?

Where is Alamogordo, you may ask? It is smack in the middle of a big fight.

The above billboard, showing New Mexico man Greg Fultz holding the outline of a baby, graces a main street of booming Alamogordo.

Mr Fultz’s is clearly quite upset with his ex-girlfriend, claiming she terminated the pregnancy of a child they conceived together.

His ex, in turn has brought Fultz to court on charges of harassment and invasion of privacy.

According to the Huffington Post, Fultz’s attorney, Todd Holmes, defended the billboard, stating,

“As distasteful and offensive as the sign may be to some, for over 200 years in this country the First Amendment protects distasteful and offensive speech.”

The message of the billboard has also been called into question. Friends of the ex-girlfriend have claimed she suffered a miscarriage, not an abortion.

But for Ellen Jensen, the lawyer of Fultz’s ex-girlfriend, the question of abortion or miscarriage is irrelevant, but the invasion of privacy and the emotional distress caused by the billboard are unacceptable,

“Nobody is stopping him from talking about father’s rights. … but a person can’t invade someone’s private life.”

Supposed this happened to you… would you mind having your personal business plastered over a giant billboard in your hometown?
