“Superfetation
is the onset of a subsequent pregnancy during an ongoing pregnancy;…” Scientific
American, April 27, 2011, Khalil A. Cassimally
That’s
mind boggling!
Anne Bynum in Arkansas had such a pregnancy in 2015. She is
doing 6 years in prison. Long story.
She’s different, not “normal”. This is a
nutty country we live in. I chose her case as my subject for the WOMEN UNDER
SIEGE exhibit at Ceres. I painted the painting last spring, 2016, when I felt
that my nation, the good ol’ USA, was really getting better. We were embracing
human rights, equal treatment under the law. All sorts of promise!
Now, the new
leadership poised to take over in a month or so, looks like a blast from the
past. Not in a good way. Xenophobia run amok. Isolation and bluster.
Testosterone politics. Compassion need not apply.
