The cartoon depicts a wire hanger against a plain background with a caption noting the election coming down to the wire. Published October 3, 2024, the image responds to ongoing state-level abortion referendums and restrictions following the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. It highlights concerns about limited hospital care for miscarriages and women traveling out of state for procedures. The visual draws on the hanger as a historical emblem of unsafe abortions. The piece arrives weeks before the presidential contest between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, where reproductive rights remain a key voter issue in multiple states.
