NEW YORK, March 8 (TNSgov) -- PEN America issued the following news release:
Lydia Nobles' As I Sit Waiting series was scheduled for exhibition at Lewis-Clark State College in Idaho this month, but the artist received notice last week that her art would no longer be shown. Days before the exhibition was set to open, she was told her work violated the No Public Funds for Abortion Act, a state law that prohibits the use of any government funding to "promote" abortion.
