Born and raised Michigander checking in. There’s a LOT of cultural variation in the Midwest that people gloss over. You can find extremely liberal population centers all around the region. Chicago, Detroit, Ann Arbor, Madison, Lansing, Milwaukee, etc
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.
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.

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

Minnesotan here. No incest signs. Lots of drunk driving signs. And, the occasional meth signs down in the SW of the state.
That’s just urban vs. rural.
Kentucky and East of the Mississippi usually isn’t considered Midwest anyway
It absolutely is… Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana—that’s all pretty quintessential Midwest.
Great lakes, I think you mean.
I think you mean the Great Lakes region is in the Midwest.
nebraska here and i’ve never seen an incest awareness sign. LOADS of pro life bullshit tho

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

This isn’t actually a drunk driving poster though. This is a drunk fucking your daughter PSA.
Yes and also, I doubt the effectiveness of snapping their mind out of this
