This is mediocre IMO. Seems to be rather devoid of emotional or intellectual content. It doesn't look good either.

However, I think the resin version could well look good.

I like it. Mostly because it pisses off both sides of the issue.

Though I must admit it made me laugh when I read the part about the pro-livin's being upset with it because it "denegrates their cause."

Actually, being pro-choice, this is one of the best arguments for my cause that I've seen in a while.

It would ALMOST have its own intrinsic value as a point of discussion if only it didn't have Brittany Spears face pasted on it. Suddenly it has become a piece of kitsch, and not worth the bother.

I thought it didn't look like Spears at all. I kinda liked it. There's not much good art celebrating the birth experience.

There may be a reason for that...

Of all the celebrities to choose, why her? She barely even ranks as famous anymore, she's essentially famous for once being all 'innocent' and now being a bit of an uberslut.

Yeah--I'd have to agree, at least from an emotional point of view.

I suddenly feel better about myself........she has some weird curves yeah?

oh, I think it's funny that it's upsetting to both sides. I can see how the pro-lifers don't want to be associated with her though.

Yes, I always thought that the current western view of childbirth was weird. I think a lot of it has to do with how current childbirth practices treat women and babies, but that's another discussion.

Actually, it's only when it's related to Britney Spears that I like to stay a week behind.

You do realise that there's a baby sticking out the humping end, right?

Well, now that's she's given birth, she may well have a weak behind.

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

How is it a good argument for freedom of abortion? I'm pro-choice as well, but I don't see how this rates up with the "OMG icky!" gruesomeness of foetuses in jars.

What woman gives birth in that position? It looks more like the, "Let's do it doggy style, honey," position to me.

it's supposed to take the pressure off your back making it easier to push. ;)

And yet you are pushing against gravity at that point. I've heard that squatting is a better position, I'm just not sure about the whole rear-end in the air thing.

yeah, squatting is better, but when you are in labor you find whatever position doesn't make you want to die, (like there are any)
