Sawbones: History of Abortion

By Sawbones
An illustration of two blue snakes twisting around a radius and ulna bone topped with a handsaw coming off either side to form a caduceus staff. The snake on the left is wearing a red dunce cap and the snake on the right is wearing a red graduation cap. The background is a pop art style red to blue fade. At the bottom of the image it says “Sawbones” with “A marital tour of misguided medicine” written below that.

With the recent news about Roe v. Wade, it’s important to talk about the history of abortion in the United States. The right to autonomy over one’s own body in regard to medical care is one of the basic tenets of medical ethics; but no matter what anyone personally believes, banning abortion doesn’t stop abortion. It just makes it unsafe.

A repeating series of images of Guy Fieri line the bottom of the image, some shooting flames from their hands. Behind them are more flames, many limes, and jalapenos. All of these things are overlaid on a title screen for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The word FIERI has been written over the word ZELDA in bold red text.
