Black text printed on horizontally oriented paper begins in all caps and centered on the poster, “GUERRILLA GIRLS DEMAND A RETURN TO TRADITIONAL VALUES ON ABORTION.” Below this is left-justified, smaller text that reads, “Before the mid-19th century, abortion in the first few months of pregnancy was legal. Even the Catholic Church did not forbid it until 1869.*” The smallest text on the poster is near the bottom right corner and reads, “* Carl N. Flanders, Abortion, Library in a Book, 1991.” The final line of text, centered near the bottom edge and in all caps, reads, “A public service message from the Guerrilla Girls 532 LaGuardia Pl. #237, NY 10012.”
