A statue of Jesus Christ in Eureka Springs, Ark., was draped overnight with a sign that says: “God Bless Abortions.”
KNWA, a local Fox affiliate, published a story about the incident.
“A group of activist artists is claiming responsibility for a banner strung across the Christ of the Ozarks monument in Eureka Springs overnight on Friday.
“Guerilla art collective Indecline said in a press release that it is responsible for a “God Bless Abortions” banner hanging across the 67-foot statue of Jesus located atop Magnetic Mountain.
“The group calls the banner a piece of protest art in “direct response to the dramatic attempts being made in Arkansas and throughout the South, to ban abortion services to women in need.”
(Indecline/Screen Capture)“Indecline says it was smuggled onto the mountain by a small team disguised as a construction crew and strung up before sunrise on Friday.”
On its own website, the group also offers t-shirts that say: “God Bless Abortions.”
In a FAQ section of its website, the groups says: “INDECLINE is an American Activist Collective founded in 2001. It is comprised of graffiti writers, filmmakers, photographers and full-time rebels and activists. INDECLINE focuses on social, ecological and economical injustices carried out by American and International governments, corporations and law enforcement agencies. INDECLINE is NOT an anarchist group.”
