Porn by any other name

File this one under What the Fuck:

Britney Spears is probably not the likeliest muse for a work of art promoting an anti-abortion message. Yet hard as it may be to imagine her inspiring such meditations, it is no stretch at all to imagine that a gallery show including a politically tinged likeness of Ms. Spears is apt to draw a bit of attention.

That appears to be the strategy, anyway, behind a life-size clay sculpture by a 40-year-old Connecticut artist, Daniel Edwards, that depicts Ms. Spears giving birth.

The sculpture, titled "Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston," depicts Ms. Spears on her knees and elbows giving birth atop a bearskin rug. It will be shown publicly at an exhibition that is opening on April 7 at Capla Kesting Fine Art gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

When asked how he chose Ms. Spears as his subject from among the thousands of women who give birth each day, Mr. Edwards said, "She's the highest profile," and added: "She was the best choice. I couldn't come up with anybody that matched her."

Spread-eagled on a bearskin rug. Just which right-wing fantasy is that, exactly? The "sanctity of motherhood" fantasy? The "yeah bitch, you know you want it" fantasy? And why do they look so alike?
