The poster shown here is the Hallwalls version of the poster designed by artist Amy Lipton that was originally commissioned by Anne Pasternak for the show's third iteration run at Real Art Ways in Hartford, CT, October 11–November 9, 1991
"The Abortion Project originated at Artists Space [in NYC] (curated by Connie Butler); the group exhibition for the project [originated] at Simon Watson Gallery; Anne Pasternak [later Executive Director of Creative Time in NYC, now Director of the Brooklyn Museum] put both together at Real Art Ways [in Hartford, Connecticut], then it traveled to New Langton Arts [in San Francisco], [as well as Hallwalls, which happened to coincide with the massive but failed attempt by Operation Rescue to shut down Buffalo's women's clinics]. Amy Lipton did a benefit at her gallery to support [the project] and she also made a great poster which traveled with the project in [its] various forms." – Chrysanne Stathacos, May 28, 2017
