Response to "The Dead of Winter"

This piece was very moving for being so short.  I think it encompassed a lot of issues that women may have to face, and particularly it dealt with abortion without getting overtly political.  The honest, almost confessional tone of it made it seem very personal and realistic, and the artwork made it even more so, particularly the frames depicting a fetus with wings (presumably angel wings?) and her reaching for it.  It was sad but not overly so, only enough to make the author's point, I think.  I also enjoyed all the depictions of snow and winter, because I think that such a "cold" setting and tone was appropriate for the piece.
