'Disobedience to God': Evangelicals freak out as statue pays homage to Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Texas Right to Life, the largest anti-abortion organization in the Lone Star State, is launching a protest against the University of Houston for hosting what it claims is a demon-themed statue.

As the Houston Chronicle reports, the group's ire was sparked by the campus hosting a sculpture by Pakistani-American visual artist Shahzia Sikander that depicts "a powerful woman donning two thick braids" that resemble what the artist describes as "golden ram horns" or "a crown of female potency."

The statue also pays tribute to the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg by featuring a lace collar reminiscent of the kind Ginsburg was famous for wearing.

It is the tribute to Ginsburg that really appears to have set Texas Right to Life over the edge, as the group suggested paying tribute to her amounted to honoring "child sacrifice."

"Disobedience to God certainly should not be esteemed by society, much less lauded with a statue," the organization said in its call to protest against the statue. "On the contrary, art should reflect truth, goodness, and beauty: three timeless values that reveal the nature of God. Art cannot have beauty without truth. Art cannot have truth without goodness... A statue honoring child sacrifice has no place in Texas."

The group also seized upon an interview that Sikander gave to the New York Times in which she said that she wanted to pay tribute to Ginsburg after the end of Roe v. Wade because she saw that women's rights were in danger.

However, the statue mentioned in the New York Times article is different from the one that is currently being displayed at the University of Houston, and the Chronicle writes that this is "apparently causing confusion as to which work people are meant to protest."
