I never thought of abortion as art, but actually it is a perfect
example of art.  True art is anything that provokes a strong emotional
response in the viewer, which abortion seems to do nicely.  Good art
should shock and offend and leave the viewer feeling soiled and dirty
and traumatized for weeks.

A watercolor of a flower or a building - no matter how accurately
rendered - is not art, which is why Adolf Hitler was a failed artist.
Taking a plastic crucifix and dunking it in a jar of your own urine is
art, since it upsets people so much.  A lump of elephant dung can be
transformed into art simply by labeling it the "Virgin Mary," since it
now provokes an emotional response that the simple pile of shit failed
to do before.
