The Two Arguments Over Genetic Property by Jason Grim (tumblr)
This photograph is a protest against the ongoing political debate over a woman’s right to abortion. What’s depicted is two male politicians, one a biblical Republican and the other a pro-choice Democrat, fighting over a woman’s body, with the owner attempting to get out of the fight altogether. The photograph gives internal and external arguments.
1. Internal - the obvious argument over a woman’s genetic property in the political world of 20122. External - the debate within the audience of the photograph, on whether or not the woman is naked under today’s media standards (Does the lack of nipples and a vagina make her un-naked?)
