Powerful Pro-Life Image

I just saw this on Facebook and thought it was, in its simplicity, one of the most powerful images I've ever seen. Please share.

That’s some really great simple art.

So unlike most “art” these days.

I learned growing up in a family of artists that the real challenge is the simplicity. When I grew up and was educated in the business/marketing fields, it was one of those rules that the experts knew but didn’t share.

Simple is powerful.

It’s a good image, but what is the meaning of Coexist. Is it trying to get people ‘pro and con’ about abortion to ‘just get along’?

[CatherineofAragon]

It refers to the mother and child coexisting together....IOW, not murdering the baby.

Amazing graphic. I hope it goes viral.

Coexist with the life within you. Look at the heart symbol, it identifies the connection.

Trying to get the mother and her baby to “just get along”, rather than her murdering it.

That is lovely, a “why not?” for abortion advocates.

Simple is powerful.

I like minimalism but it has to convey some emotion or message. This one does.

On the other hand there is this crap which holds the record for the highest price ever paid for a photograph at over $3 million.



As an artist/photographer, that irritates me.

That’s great. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks to all three of you. Don’t know why I didn’t think of that at first! I once lay flat on my back for 4 months to save a baby from miscarrying.

Wow, God bless you!

[posterchild]

Where was that taken? I think I live near there or perhaps it is a generic view.

[potlatch]

Yeah, and I couldn’t even stand up after that, muscles so weak.......
Thanks for the ‘God bless’!

Thanks for providing the image and not making us click through to the originating site.

River Rhine. The photo sold for $4.3 million.

Yes, I’ve seen your work. It *should* piss you off.

"As an artist/photographer, that irritates me."

No kidding. Almost all of the 19-20th century "artists" should be irritating as well. Their pos paintings are sold in hundreds of millions. For instance this piece of crap
