In Case Of Emergency, Break Glass by Jonathan Mayer

Artist’s Comments:
”This is satirizing the “inconvenience” unborn life places on women in Western society, and the relative convenience our country has provided in disposing of that life.”

I don’t agree at all with the sentiments the artist has regarding abortion, but I have to admit it’s a well-executed piece. 

Because a man would know all about the inconvenience of pregnancy.

Give me a break.

Ah yes. Because it’s so convenient to get an abortion, now.
I would really love to see this guy:

• Become pregnant, carry the pregnancy to full term, pay for the medical costs, pay for baby supply stuff (cribs, high chairs, car seats, formula, diapers, etc.) and raise it to adulthood, in an environment that could be potentially harmful not only himself, but the child.
• Walk through the hallways of a high school, dodging whispers and trying to hide the baby bump, as his peers call him a whore and slut, because he’s just too ashamed to admit that he was raped.
• Attempt to actually get an abortion, only to be harassed on his way into the clinic, shamed by his closest friends, violated with a transvaginal ultrasound, and shunned by his family.
• Attempt to tell his abusive father that he accidentally became pregnant after his first sexual encounter, and needs help, only to be beaten in a drunk rage.

No, this man has no idea about inconvenience. 

On a completely facetious note because I cannot believe this man tried to use art to disagree with abortion.

WHERE THE FUCK IS MY UTERUS, BRO?

WHY IS MY UMBILICAL CORD CONNECTED TO MY SPINE?

WHY DO I HAVE GILLS?

I DON’T HAVE ORGANS?

Now I know you don’t think I’m human once I’m pregnant because I lose ALL SEMBLANCE OF A HUMAN when you attempt to be artistic. 

Yes, things get altered in art, art doesn’t completely imitate life, but trans and ciswomen and uterus-bearers all have to bear a constant erasure of basic anatomy for the sake of pleasing this so called ~society’s~ aesthetic pleasures. I AM SOCIETY. I WANT TO BE DRAWN WITH ORGANS AND NOT AS AN AMPHIBIAN. 

KTHANKSBAI. 

ALSO, I WANT HIM TO SPEND ALMOST HALF A MILLION DOLLARS BEFORE MY CHILD TURNS EIGHTEEN SO THAT HE CAN STOP TRYING TO TRIVIALIZE ABORTION LIKE HE THINKS* WE ARE TRIVIALIZING ABORTION. 

Also, I want him to use satire to do things relevant to HIS NON-UTERUS BEARING LIFE. Like war, famine, imperialistic greed, and misogyny.

I’LL WAIT.
