A woman’s ability to choose to have children — or not — has been undermined by legislation that strips her of personal agency to determine her life. Reproductive health is a very personal and private decision to be made between a woman, her loved ones and her doctors. Period. The loss of agency over personal healthcare decisions can kill a woman. It can derail her career and her ability to put food on the table. It reduces her to an incubator. The artwork on this site reclaims a woman’s autonomy by demanding, “Keep your paws off my privates.”

The artwork

A dark paw print ringed by the words KEEP YOUR PAWS OFF MY PRIVATES in hand-drawn marker lettering. The dew-claw pad reads, in script, “Bless your heart.” — **Hand lettering · “Bless your heart”**Drawn by hand, looser and more placard than logo.

A dark paw print ringed by the words KEEP YOUR PAWS OFF MY PRIVATES in hand-drawn marker lettering. The dew-claw pad reads FUCK OFF in stencil capitals. — **Hand lettering · “Fuck off”**The hand-drawn mark, unsoftened.
