From Sweden: Abortion jewelry for the post-abortive parent.
Art, design and politics meet in Joanna Rytel’s jewellery collection “Happy abortion-children”. Her earrings, brooches, necklaces and rings formed as aborted foetuses, takes a stand for abortion. The idea can be said to be a continuation of her project “Abortkyrkogard.se” on the internet. There many have told of the guilt they have felt after having an abortion. “I wondered about why this was and I believe that it is society that induces the guilt, particularly for girls. I want to do something about it.”….
Despite that it is a little sad to have an abortion. But one does it for the child’s sake. It would not have been good to have a child half-heartedly. They have it much better in heaven than if they hade been born. I thought that it would be good to make jewellery, because then people can carry their happy abortion-children with them.
