About this work
Description
The stork holds out a basket full of contraceptive pills to the woman as she is about to place a pill on her tongue. She has flowers and birds in her hair, and stands in a psychedelic landscape of mountains, a river and flowers. The lettering above her head sits either side of a rainbow. The left side presents an ideal landscape in which the contraceptive pill is accepted. A church building has the pill as its finials. Nude figures emerge from the flowers, a rabbit in a flowery shirt eats one of the pills, and a white woman has sex with a black man. On the right side, where the pill is opposed, a flying cupid with a cornucopia of pills is opposed by a flag-waving (Latin American?) dictator, and the Pope gives his blessing to crowd of babies who attack a pill with staves
