"In 2022, California voters approved an amendment to the state constitution that guarantees the right to abortion and contraception. California restricts abortions only after the point of viability, as determined by a physician."
"Alabama is one of the first states to ban abortion in the immediate aftermath of SCOTUS' overturning Roe v. Wade. No provision for rape or incest. Performing an abortion could carry a life prison sentence." This assemblage is made of medical debris, non-recyclable trash, and thread on a plastic bird seed bag. It measures 33.75 X 22 X 3 inches and weighs 1.6 lbs.
The medical debris layout is inspired by the Texas commemorative quarter. Quote: Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick called the SCOTUS ruling overturning Roe v. Wade "a tremendous day for life." He said, "I thank God for delivering us this day, and I am proud that Texas has taken the lead to ensure that such evil can no longer live in out state." (35X40")
