The phallic symbol dominating this piece reminds me of the latest blow to the women of Alabama and all women across the United States. The female on the left of the painting has every right to be dismayed. The guardians of patriarchy will fight with everything within their power to undermine a woman’s right to control her own body.
Meanwhile, the child on the bottom right, sitting at his mother’s feet, faces an uncertain future.
The phallic symbol was unintentional but your assessment is dead on. Pro choice is a woman’s issue and men shouldn’t even be envolved until they are able to go through the birthing process or be raped resulting in a horrific pregnancy. I question why we allow male dominated legislators to pass such laws including lowering the age of consent.
