Jane Hamsher reviews the prominently announced new artwork titled "Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston", described as "A life-size sculpture of a naked Britney Spears kneeling on a bearskin rug as she gives birth."
Verena Dobnik of the WaPo reported last Tuesday that "The sculpture is to appear next to a display case filled with anti-abortion materials. It was created by Daniel Edwards, who said he never spoke to the 24-year-old pop star or met her, and fashioned her face and figure from photographs."
Jane thinks it is not the activity of giving birth which the artist has depicted.
Her confusion is understandable, since it appears that Mr. Edwards has labored (so to speak) under the misapprehension that babies come out of that other hole, judging from the way he has posed his subject.
