A new restaurant in Orlando has put up a painting of a nude woman. A lot of people have been offended by it, and have reported it. But, “[c]ity code enforcers came out Wednesday morning to look at the painting. They said, since it is a famous piece of artwork by a famous painter, they’re allowing it to stay where it is.” The painting is “La Maja” by Francisco Goya. Read the article and see the painting here.
Not that I find the image offensive at all, but it infuriates me, as an artist, that if a not-so-famous painter had painted a similar image, it would have been taken down.
I saw the above quote as a bumper sticker on the back of a car earlier today. The statement is not accurate, aside from the bad english. Most pro-life people will see that bumper sticker, and think: right on, take that all you pro-choice people, your mother was pro-life because she didn’t kill you!. But pro-choice does not mean pro-abortion. Just because someone is pro-choice doesn’t mean that that person never wants to have kids, and if they ever get pregnant, then they are going to have an abortion. Most pro-choice women have kids. Most pro-choice women have never had an abortion, and never will. Now, I am definitely pro-life. But I am so sick and tired of other pro-life people thinking that pro-choice means pro-abortion. It is almost like they think that pro-choice women try to get pregnant, just so that they can have an abortion. I seriously think that some ultra-conservative pro-life people think that. Just my rant for today.
