(CBS) NEW YORK They're ads you may have seen around New York City. They're supposed to be promoting storage, but they have a political and comical edge to them.

But their latest ad doesn't have too many people laughing.

Its billboards have always been edgy, but has Manhattan Mini Storage gone over the edge?

The ad causing controversy depicts a coat hanger and takes a stance on abortion, along with the slogan: "Your closet space is shrinking as fast as her right to choose."

Needless to say, it didn't take long for the backlash to come.

"These billboards, we think they're absolutely disgusting," said Kiera McCaffrey of the Catholic League.

It's so easy making ads that Catholics and Christians will be offended by, but God-forbid they do one that pokes fun at Muslims or "the prophet".

Yeah, say something about "72 virgins" and camels and watch the excrement strike the ventilator.

I think abortion should carry a mandatory death penalty (with exception to the very very few medical reasons where it is the only viable option). Then the right to choose is simple, give birth or die with your kid.
