As a British woman and new mother, who chose to move to America, the land of the free, I'm shocked and appalled. Many freedoms we celebrate having as women in America  are under scrutiny and on trial by the current Republican attacks. These Republican men and women think they have the right to legislate any women's rights and relationships with their doctors. And to go so far as demeaning women by mandating forced vaginal ultrasounds for women choosing to undergo an abortion, an already painful choice for any woman under any circumstance, its just downright senseless. These same legislators do not and will not vote for forced prostate exams for men who want Viagra, because this really isn't about legislating morality or trying to curb society's sexual appetite, it’s about the right wing succeeding in their desire to control women and their bodies. It has become a war of beliefs and not a forum for discussing the facts about health and science. Rush Limbaugh is the only conservative willing to admit what he really thinks about women and I, among many others, don't buy his apology. He only gave it after he lost advertisers, proving that his only God is the almighty dollar.

In light of the national Republican cultural war on women, and the spate of legislation sweeping the nation in Republican controlled legislatures, I have decided as a female business owner to direct a portion of the proceeds from CLUTTER’s exclusive Pink Reagan Gipper Bust by Kozik to the womensstrikeforce.com. This already politically timely work of art has taken on new meaning for me as a woman in the election year, and the fact that this Reagan bust is pink makes it the perfect symbol for women's rights.  I think it’s time women stood up and supported one another in making sure that our  rights as citizens don't slide back to the 1900's. If you're a card carrying Republican, I'll sell you a Reagan bust at 10% off!!  It’s time Republican women admit the error of their ways. Tell the Romneys, Santorums and the rest of the right wingers to climb back into their holes.

When ground breaking artist and bust-creater Frank Kozik was asked to comment, he simply replied, â€œI am 110% pro planned parenthood and I fully support CLUTTER and the statement my art makes.”
