Florida resident and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee will act as keynote speaker for the controversial anti-abortion group Heroic Media at a Feb. 15 dinner in Orlando. According to a press release, the funds raised will go toward “placing positive, life-affirming television commercials, billboards and Internet in Florida.” #
Heroic Media founder Brian Follett raised eyebrows last December after sayingPlanned Parenthood’s efforts are “almost like” genocide. #
Heroic’s controversial billboard campaignaimed at African-Americans has drawn harsh criticism from Planned Parenthood, whose representatives say the ads are “reprehensible.” One billboard shows an African-American girl in the foreground with the words “The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb” displayed in the background. #
Republican state Sen. John Thrasher, who spoke alongside Sarah Palin at a Jacksonville eventfor Heroic Media last August, later criticizedFollett, saying he “does not condone” Follett’s controversial comments and that Heroic was only interested in “shock value.” #
