Description
Apologies to ArtPolitic in general, but more specifically Enept [link] Lambofgod [link] N0Deal [link] and CorporateWhore [link]I basically used their pieces as a background for my message, which was more of a response than a statement.
This is my submission to ARTPOLITIC's ABORTION CAMPAIGN.

"personal pain from abortion"
That was your choice. I made my choice and have no regrets. The only pain was physical and that is long gone. As I would now have a child holding me back from all the things that I enjoy in my life now and I would have great resent for him/her for it that would be hard to mask....
Like so many children/people out there now.
Pro-choice....Every child a wanted child. And not a burden to there mother, father and society.
The piece is beautiful.
In America, My Life, My Choice.

.... Did you even concider letting it live and allowing someone who desperately wants (and cannot have on their own) a child adopt him/her? Then you would still have your life, the baby would live, you'd make another person/couple very happy and probably even have all of your expenses paid for. Win-win situation for all, right? Then, why don't more people opt for it? Is it much more important to have the knowlege that you killed a baby on your hands? Can you tell me you never even ONCE wondered about the other side of the story (what happened from your baby's perspective). If so, then I really pity you for your lack of empathy.

If you didn't want a child holding you back, then don't have sex and expect not to get pregnant.
You killed someone, and that's that.

QUOTE from CreatureSink;
"Exactly. If you are too selfish to take care of your own child, you shouldn't have had the miracle of conception wasted on you.
i.e. If you don't want babies, don't MAKE them!"

So not having sex with my husband is the answer?
A fetus cannot survive without its mother...host. Therefore it is a parasite. I should have the right to remove any parasite or growth from my own body. It is no ones right to me that I must sustain a parasite growing in my body just as no one has the right to tell me I must not remove a tumor...regardless of YOUR personal feelings of right or wrong.
If you are against abortion...don't have one.
If you are not pro-choice you are anti-freedom.

parΒ·aΒ·site 1. Biology. An organism that grows, feeds, and is sheltered on or in a different organism while contributing nothing to the survival of its host.
Let me first point out that the fetus is human. Therefore, not a different organism. Your statement that a fetus is a parasite is, therefore, essentially wrong. The relationship is much more symbiotic as there are many positive experiences that being pregnant can give you. Such as being pregnant gives you a hightened sense of smell, thereby allowing you a more distinct awareness of possible dangers (such as the smell of tainted food would most likely make you nauseous. Also, when you are pregnant the blood flow to the genital area is increased, allowing for a more satisfying sexual experience.
Take it from a pregnant woman, I know.

You're a parasite and the world is better off without filth like you. Who in their right mind would regard a child as a parasite? If your parents thought the same as you, they would have already aborted you and I wouldn't have to read stupid drivvle from people like you. Thank you.

The world is better off without many people, perhaps even me or you. Wouldn't the world be better off without Manson or Bundy or any of the true filth that litters our society out there?
I don't know why I bother myself trying to explain the broader picture to those who cannot see passed their sentimental and niave selves.

What's your point? Manson was a murderer and so are you. And on the contrary, it's not naive to consider a child as a blessing to a family that is prepared and able to raise one - and that if you do not fit those qualities, you have no business creating children in the first place. Abortion is an issue that rides the line of moral acceptability and murder, and to see a woman toss around trash like "I have no regrets" and "a child is a parasite" is just disgusting. Go tell that to any mother who didn't run away from their problems and abort their child and you won't like the answer.
Oh sure, the world would be a much better place without Manson or Bundy or Hitler or You, but it would also be a much worse place without Picasso, Rembrandt, Monet, Emerson, Shakespeare, and the countless millions of other great and accomplished human beings that have lived throughout our history. I don't understand your point at all - maybe think about your agruments before spouting them off - or on that note think about things like aborting your child before doing it. You may have just killed the next great musician/novelist/artist/athlete/poet/as tronaut/scientist/whatever. The fact is that you never gave your child that chance - and I hope you learn to regret it because it certainly is a shame indeed.

Well, I can see where agree to disagree has not lost any effect on those who would cry "tolerance for all!", From a person who can agree to disagree, I have sufferd from personal pain from abortion, it affects us all, but there are those who can be cavalier about death, never to have faced it themselves........... It just is such a sad state that those claiming to be "open minded" are in fact the ones who are not "tolerant" of the in-tolerable........
Think about that, is it MTV? or your personal befief that a condom can protect you, either way some chose to take truth and throw it out the window.....

Pretty sad, considering some who may be here have the business........... We can all agree to disagree, but you notice the ones screaming for "tolerance" themselves show none.......
Think about it........
From someone who has had personal pain from abortion.
So, for myself, it stays ongoing, the pain...........
and we are all a victim of it.

Hopefully the people who's art you used didn't mind cause you are using it for a worthy cause one which more people should stand up for many places and even America among them still have people who use religion and other non seance ideas to try and force other people how to live there lives when they shouldn't what right does a society have to hijack someone's body and make it basically an incubator on top of that there's an over population to the world as it is which kinda makes you wonder they keep trying to stop abortion but Do they help raise the over abundance of foster kids out there and who is this they i refere to well the they that go and bomb abortion clinic cause they think it brings them closer to God I think it brings them closer to being a useless sub human being that deserves to be horribly tortured

I'm hoping this is Pro-choice, cause if so i agree with it, You should make it into posters, i bet that'd be interesting...
π: 0 β©: 0
first thing on my mind when I saw this was: oh, another pro-life poster.
I'm still not sure it isn't.
as to the technique, it's a little bit too overcharged for my taste. the colors are striking and that's good. I would have personally used another font color for the main inscription.
I had a helluva time trying to decipher the rest of the writing and I gave up after a while.
it draws attention and that's good, but to my mind the message is ambiguous.
you have the inscription, the baby (seems to cry) and the gun all on some kind of white thing that looks to me like a fried egg without the yolk.
i really don't know what to think of it, except that is striking, something you're sure to notice.

The business is more of an "after fucking" sort of business isn't it?
THAT SAID
I would definately agree... I am certainly not one to occupy that sort of business.

Damn.... The background is Hella ugly and your message... Hey hell everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But honestly looking at this image makes me appreciate the basics of art and not this garbage on my screen.

other than this being very blunt and quite abrupt.. i love the idea..
although the situation is a little bit more emotional and personal .. and the feeling here just seems so harsh ..
i agree .. its none of anyones fucking business.

My girl friend and I were actually talking about the subject and how if men were the ones who had to bear children there would never have been a question as to whether or not they had the right to abortion.
Think about it. Would GW have had a kid if he got knocked up at 16?
Nice piece dude, I'll be adding it to the release soon. I like how you turned this back around on the other members to make your point. Enjoy your trip!

Definitly agree, especially with whoever said the hting about guys that speak out against abortion. its liek you know what, i dont think you have a right to talk, because your not the one that has to deal with pregnancy and the child- its not like your typical male today does most of the child care. I mean yeah, maybe if he was gonna quit his job and stay home with the baby, while you were out working and staying out late at night- then he might have a say, but otherise, i think its always up to every woman herself.

that is the most selfish thing i have ever read
you should see this. [link] You are cheating yourself if you do not use resources to educate yourself before making a decision.

That site is probably the most foolish thing Ive ever seen. I wouldn't tote it so proudly if I were you.

An abortion can be one of the LEAST selfish decisions a woman might make in her life.
π: 0 β©: 0
I agree.
But it's a hard philosophical position to illustrate simply when you're up against the other side's graphic and emotive misrepresentations.
I am interested in joining Art Politic. Do you know who I have to contact in order to apply?
