About this work

This image shows two simple, flat scenes side by side. On the left, a woman and a child stand near a seated woman, all in pale outlines against a soft pink background. Below, bold black text reads: *"He says abortion is murder."* On the right, three men in suits stand together, with the same style of text beneath: *"Why else did God give us the bomb?"* The scenes use stark contrasts—light figures against dark text—to make a point. The artist’s style here is direct, almost like a protest sign. Look up Ida Applebroog to see more of her bold, political work.
