It remains abundantly clear that the subject matter of my art thus far, especially the pink series, is more relevant than ever. Pink Duct Tape 1 & 2, Be A Good Girl Unbridled 1 & 2, Thwarted Truth 1 & 2, SHH 1, 2 & 3, Shackles, How Did A Sensitive Boy Become A Hardened, Cold, Disconnected Man, I Have Something To Say, etc., etc., etc.!
It “Just is” that I feel like screaming! The rigged plan by ultraconservative, sexist, mostly white men, (and supported by some women), to overturn Roe vs. Wade, to criminalize abortion and throw women and practitioners in prison for an ungodly amount of years is abominable. I will start listening to my opponents when there are no longer 400,000 babies, toddlers and adolescents in our foster system, an overburdened, inadequate system that essentially grooms these beings for cycles of heartbreak and terrible lives. Add to this statistic that 1 in 8 children in the United States Of America are abused and, well, there are way too many unwanted children born. (Stats per the recent documentary, “Foster.”)
This breaks my heart but, obviously, not those opposed to abortion. And, it infuriates me that women are still the most oppressed group of human beings on this planet! Is the US any different than the Middle East and other countries where women are subjugated? Fundamentally, no in my opinion.
