Texas Right to Life Calls on University to Cancel ‘Satanic Abortion Idol’ Display

A pro-life group is calling for a Texas university to drop its plans to publicly display “a golden statue with satanic imagery” that’s meant to honor abortion and the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Texas Right to Life released a petition earlier this month, asking the University of Houston (UH) “to keep the satanic abortion idol out of Texas.”

The 18-foot golden female sculpture with hair braided like spiraling horns is called “Witness.” It debuted in New York’s Madison Square Park last year. The sculpture includes a hoop skirt inspired by the stained-glass dome of the nearby courthouse, symbolizing the need to “break the legal glass ceiling,” according to The New York Times. 

The statue has arms like tentacles and features a lace collar like Justice Ginsburg often wore with her robes. 

Written on the sculpture is the word “havah,” which the artist said means “air” or “atmosphere” in Urdu and “Eve” in Arabic and Hebrew, the outlet reported. 

According to the Art Newspaper, artist Shahzia Sikander interpreted the term ‘havah’ as meaning “to breathe, to add air, to change a narrative, to add some space,” she says. “Eve is also the first law-breaker, right?”
