The cartoon depicts flags of Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, Louisiana and Missouri mounted on coat hangers against a yellow background. The title reads Coat-Hanger States of America. State flags carry slogans such as In A Baptist God We Trust and Judicial Activism. The image responds to May 2019 passage of strict abortion measures including Alabama's near-total ban and Georgia's six-week heartbeat bill. These laws revived national debate over Roe v. Wade and access to reproductive services in Southern states.
