A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

There are three people in this photo

    your phrasing here makes me wonder your opinions on abortion, shannon. i’ve read what you think about the individual’s right to modify however they choose, and i guess i always assumed you would be “pro-choice”. sorry to break it down into those words… i know they leave much to be desired. but anyway, the idea that the unborn baby is a “person” sounds like “pro-life” (anti-choice?) language to me. unless you believe that a fetus is a person whose parents should have full rights over keeping alive or choosing not do so.

    just wondering.

    I’m not sure Shannon’s opinions on abortion have anything to do with this photo. I think it’s simply a clever observation…she’s pregnant…three people in the photo. Doesn’t neccessarily indicate one’s stance on abortion.

    Not that it should matter. This site is about body modifications.

    Oh come on, he said it in a sweet way. The photo was obviously taken for the purpose of capturing the life that grows inside her and the love they share. If the couple considers the unborn baby a life, why take that away from them? She also seems too far along for a legal abortion (unless it was for medical reasons), so pro-choice or not a woman who is as far along as she seems would be giving birth, thus producing the person (without quotation marks). I don’t mean to sound snippy I just think you jumped at words that had no political connotation.

    wow quite a few of my posts have taken a while to post. My computer’s been messed up lately so maybe that has something to do with that.

    I recently commented to her that I thought this picture was beautiful, and then I see it on modblog!

    And dear God people, calling us pregnant women “preggers” or “preggos” or “preggies” sounds stupid.
    It makes you look uneducated/trashy or at the very least silly. And it’s so annoying.

    Pregnant, expecting, with child, or carrying. It’s like saying a respectable woman in a loving relationship “just got knocked up”. It doesn’t sound nice.

    Just my opinion though. It bothered me before I was pregnant too…
