Pop-Star's Pregnancy Idealized in Brooklyn 'Monument to Pro-Life'

BROOKLYN, NY (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- A nude Britney Spears on a bearskin rug while giving birth to her firstborn marks a 'first' for Pro-Life. Pop-star Britney Spears is the "ideal" model for Pro-Life and the subject of a dedication at Capla Kesting Fine Art in Brooklyn's Williamsburg gallery district, in what is proclaimed the first Pro-Life monument to birth, in April.

Dedication of the life-sized statue celebrates the recent birth of Spears' baby boy, Sean, and applauds her decision of placing family before career. "A superstar at Britney's young age having a child is rare in today's celebrity culture. This dedication honors Britney for the rarity of her choice and bravery of her decision," said gallery co-director, Lincoln Capla. The dedication includes materials provided by Manhattan Right To Life Committee.

"Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston," believed Pro-Life's first monument to the 'act of giving birth,' is purportedly an idealized depiction of Britney in delivery. Natural aspects of Spears' pregnancy, like lactiferous breasts and protruding naval, compliment a posterior view that depicts widened hips for birthing and reveals the crowning of baby Sean's head.

The monument also acknowledges the pop-diva's pin-up past by showing Spears seductively posed on all fours atop a bearskin rug with back arched, pelvis thrust upward, as she clutches the bear's ears with 'water-retentive' hands.

"Britney provides inspiration for those struggling with the 'right choice'," said artist Daniel Edwards, recipient of a 2005 Bartlebooth award from London's The Art Newspaper. "She was number one with Google last year, with good reason --- people are inspired by the beauty of a pregnant woman," said Edwards.

Capla Kesting denies the statue was developed from a rumored bootleg Britney Spears birth video. The artist admits to using references that include the wax figure of a pole-dancing Britney at Las Vegas' Madame Tussauds and 'Britney wigs' characterizing various hairstyles of the pop-princess from a Los Angeles hairstylist. And according to gallery co-director, David Kesting, the artist studied a bearskin rug from Canada "to convey the commemoration of the traditional bearskin rug baby picture."

An appropriate location for permanent installation of "Monument to Pro-Life" by Mother's Day is being sought by the gallery.

LOL only Britney Spears would give birth doggy-style on a bearskin rug.

[IwasHere]

Is this even possible? Can someone give birth Doggy-Style like this?

I don't know.. maybe they got this statue mixed up with the one of her getting pregnant.

[CraigSca]

Yes - if you ever watched "A Baby Story" on TLC (we did ad nauseum when my wife is pregnant) you'd see that there are a lot of different positions to give birth.

[gottimd]

That looks nothing like Britney Spears. To me that looks like Ashley Judd.

I think it needs an attachment of a dirtbag smoking a ciggarette and counting money, then it will look like Spears.

[FrogMan]

I thought she gave birth while driving away from a paparazzi :confused:

Ashley Judd indeed.

I shouldn't say this having my wife pregnant and about to give birth (she was supossed to give birth yesterday according to the doctor). But that statue suggest me other things, not to give birth exactly. I can imagine how hard was for the autor to keep his hands on the tools while she was possing for it.

I have no doubt he had no trouble holding his "tool" at all during the crafting of this....thing...

According to the article, I don't think she officially posed for this. Was she even aware of this?

Yeah probably his tool was hard enought to be used to craft that statue if she was possing.

Britney Spears was a lot bigger than that at 9 months. This shows her a perfectly thin except for the belly. She put on a lot of weight when pregnant.

[chinaski]

nothing says pro-life like laying out on a dead bears back.

[Danny]

First thing I thought was Ashley Judd too

[rexallllsc]

My thoughts exactly.

[Antmeister]

nothing says pro-life like laying out on a dead bears back.

ROFL! I wish we still had QOTM.

[CamEdwards]

I'd chisel it.

[Surtt]

I wonder how dilated she is?

[SackAttack]

I wonder how this isn't NSFW.

[Telle]

Actually, she gave birth by elective c-section prior to her due-date.. probably to save her precious little tummy from stretch marks.

Also, an all-fours position is actually an excellent position to give birth in. It helps open up the hips and can prevent tears. However, you wouldn't have your ass up in the air like that.

There is rumor of this statue being a publicity stunt by the artist and the gallery.

[Desnudo]

Does massaging the temples of a bear help with childbirth?

[Vinatieri for Prez]

I wonder how this isn't NSFW.

It's "art" not "porn," that's why. How come we didn't get the 360 view.

You think?!

In case anyone wants to be scarred for life.. here's a pic of the statue from the rear: hxxp://www.earvolution.com/2006/04/nude-britney-statutes-backside.asp

I guess now we know...

[Neuqua]

Well that was unnecessary.

:(

i think I found what to put in my cubicle to scare people away!

[Lorena]

I know she's trying desperately to get attention, but this is so unecessary; stop Britney, you're embarassing yourself.

[Klinglerware]

In Britney's defense, she had nothing to do with this. This artwork was conceived by the Right-to-Life movement, of all things.

odd, when i learned how to deliver a baby (emt school), we learned that all-fours was the position to put an impending birth into if there were any unforseen problems such as limb or cord presentation so that you would slow or stop the birth process with the simple force of gravity holding the fetus into from progressing down the birth canal. where did you learn the opposite?

[Surtt]

I think at that point she would be ripping the bear's ears off.
Not trying to dicide on McDonald's or Burger King for lunch.

That's hot.

[Vinatieri for Prez]

Still not big enough for my rod.



Edit: is that in bad taste? I'm kind of feeling a little bad for that comment.

What you're talking about is being on all-fours with the chest down and the rear up.. which I suppose is what's pretty much depicted in this statue. And yes, that'll help use gravity to slow down the birth and take some of the pressure off the cord in the case of a cord prolapse. As a side note, it's also a good way to help turn a posterior baby and thus ease back labor and help move a labor along that has stalled as the body tries to turn the baby.

However, an all-fours position where the chest is up (perhaps leaning on a stack of pillows or the raised head of a hospital bed) and the pelvis is turned down is a very good position to birth in. This uses gravity to your advantage , allows the pelvis to fully open (isn't compressed by laying on it), and doesn't overstress the perinium the way laying on your back with your legs spread can so thus can help prevent a tear. And many women when allowed to do whatever their body tells them to will take this position naturally while deliverying.

And where did I learn this? Well, I'm a bit of a birth-junkie and read up on birth a LOT. I'm pretty certain that positioning was mentioned in "Ina May's Guide to Childbirth" by Ina May Gaskin and in "The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth" by Henci Goer. I haven't done much digging into medical journals on this topic yet.. but I doubt there'll be much info there, seeing as how 80-90% of moms are numb from the waist down while giving birth anyways and thus aren't capable of assuming an all-fours position.

cool, thanks (i was being serious about wanting to know...wondered if you were an OB or something...i teach EMT's as well, so i am always looking for additional information to enhance lectures with)

[Desnudo]

I would say anytime you use the word "rod" to refer to your penis the answer is probably yes.

[Subby]

Maybe he was talking about his buddy Rod Stewart...

[Vinatieri for Prez]

Except, I use it to go fishing, so it makes sense to call it that.
