I love these. I just published an essay called "Abortion Isn't Beautiful" for Annie Finch's Choice Words and it was reprinted in Rewire magazine. Both sides of the issue took issue with it. Pro choice people said, "Abortion can be beautiful." And the anti-choice people wrote, "The Pro choice people won't acknowledge that abortion begets regrets." The essay was trying to be non-polemical--merely to say, beauty isn't everything. But your paintings are beautiful and full of joy.
Dear Diane,
