An anti-abortion billboard in Corinth, Mississippi was vandalized last week by the activist art collective INDECLINE off of Highway 72 & Howell Drive (directly across from San Roque Tienda Mexicana), according to a press release from the anonymous visual interventionists.
Members of the collective used spray paint to quickly alter the original message of the advertisement, prompting drivers to visit a website offering information on how to order abortion pills, thus bypassing the potential shutdown of abortion clinics in the state.

This action coincides with the 49th anniversary of Roe. V. Wade, the landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court that effectively legalized abortions in the country. Many are watching a decision by that same judicial body this June which may effectively prevent celebrations for its 50th anniversary in a case called Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.

This is not the first time the collective has used controversial direct action techniques to address the issue of abortion rights in the South. Last March, the members of the collective altered a billboard in Byhalia to promote abortion services at Planned Parenthood
Months later, the group scaled the iconic Christ of the Ozarks statue in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, and hung a massive banner from its arms reading: GOD BLESS ABORTIONS



The collective just released a film with footage documenting their interventions during the past two years including the Christ of the Ozarks banner. Click HERE to go to the full-length film.
