Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It used to be that the worst type of "pregnancy art" doing the rounds was belly painting, in which expectant mothers painted anything from the globe to a basketball on their ballooning bump.
Before that it was popular for mums-to-be to recreate Demi Moore's infamous Vanity Fair cover for a photo to stick in the downstairs loo.
But now there is a new fad, one so alarming and frightful that it makes all previous "pregnancy art" look like it deserves its own retrospective in the National Gallery.
Website The Daily has reported on the worrying rise of "sonogram art" in which those precious snaps of foetuses are Photoshopped over the top of his or her mother's tummy before being uploaded to Facebook. And you thought those photos of what people are eating were annoying.
