This etching formed part of a series of powerful works made by the artist on the subject of abortion. Rego created these images in response to the referendum on abortion that took place in Portugal on 28 June 1998. A predominately catholic country, Portugal's restrictive laws on the subject fueled a series of works by the artist, and her intention from the outset was to exhibit these images in Portugal.
