Abortion themed Artworks (help?) (1 Viewer)

[frieda]

Hey guys i was just wondering if you could help me out with some examples of the above mentioned, and it would be preferable if the theme of abortion had a personal relevancy to the artist =]..

thanks in advance

Tracey Emin's had two abortions, and she's done some artworks on them, you should have a look at that?

I think abortion is only necessary in the most dire of situations [rape, health, child will be born without a brain stem or something like that etc].

Other than that, for heaven's sake sexually active people; contraception!
(don't tell me about 'oh it costs too much' - family planning clinics offer it discounted/free)

You should check out the lyrics to "mandy goes to med school" by the dresden dolls. Perhaps you can get some inspiration regarding back-alley abortions???
