Lady Pink: Why she kicks ass

• She is a graffiti artist, born in Ecuador and raised in NYC.
• She began her art in 1979 and was well known as the one of only females competing with the men in the male dominated graffiti subculture.
• While she was in highschool she began exhibiting her art in galleries and at 21 she had her first solo show, “Femmes-Fatales”.
• She was a leader in the rise in popularity of graffiti based art, thus her canvases are in many well known art collections such as at the MET in NYC and the Groningen Museum of Holland.
• She featured in the motion picture “Wild Style” (1982).
• She donates public art in culturally neglected communities.
• She still continues her art today and also shares her experience with teenagers by holding mural workshops and lecturing to college students. You can see more here.

Quote: “When I first started, women were still trying to prove themselves, through the 70’s that women could do everything guys could do. The feminist movement was growing very strong and as a teenager I think it affected me without me realising that I was a young feminist. The more guys said “you can’t do that”, the more I had to prove them wrong. I had to hold it up for all my sisters who looked up to me to be brave and courageous and to prove that I could do what guys could do. We defend our artworks with our fists and our crazy courage. When you have guys that disrespect you you’re gonna have to teach them a lesson, otherwise they are going to keep walking all over you. I’m sorry, but that’s the way it is out there, it’s not easy. But it also reflects what the art world in general is: 80% white males. So you have to fight tooth and nail, bitch and scream, be loud and be large to get respect.”

How To Identify Crisis Pregnancy Centers

Crisis pregnancy centers, or pregnancy resource centers, disguise themselves as medical facilities, but usually have no licensed doctors, nurses or counselors. They often appear under “Abortion Alternatives,” and may have names similar to abortion clinics nearby in order to confuse patients into entering their buildings instead of the real clinics.

Once you enter a CPC, their mission is to prevent you from getting an abortion at any cost. They will use misleading language, delay tactics, emotional manipulation, intimidation, and outright lies to either persuade you against abortion or to make you miss your appointment. The worst part? It’s all completely legal and funded by federal dollars.

CPCs do their best to appear as legitimate abortion clinics, so how can you tell which is which? Here is a list of red flags for CPCs:

• The words “crisis” or “resource” appear in the center’s name
• Their ads use language like “Pregnant & Scared?”
• They offer free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds
• When asked if they provide abortions or contraception, they will not give a direct answer
• The waiting room has biased pamphlets, sometimes with graphic pictures labeled as abortions
• They attempt to make you feel guilty about considering abortion
• They offer baby items, such as diapers and formula
• They downplay the effectiveness of contraception and emphasize abstinence
• They emphasize the dangers of abortion (Fact: fewer than 0.3% of patients experience complications requiring hospitalization)
• They discuss the false connections between abortion and breast cancer, infertility, or mental illness, often referred to as post-abortion stress syndrome
• Regardless of how you talk about the pregnancy, they refer to “your baby,” the “preborn child,” “post-abortive women,” and say that you are “already a mother.”
