The chyron on Tucker Carlson Tonight on May 11, 2021, proclaimed that MAKING AN INFORMED CHOICE REGARDING YOUR OWN BODY SHOULDN’T BE CONTROVERSIAL. The chyron was meant to be read as an anti-vaccine pronouncement, but the words could be a pro-choice statement. The pronouncement called to mind Jenny Holzer’s Truisms, such as ABUSE OF POWER COMES AS NO SURPRISE and, perhaps most appropriately, LISTEN WHEN YOUR BODY TALKS. The Truisms, presented as street posters and then on electronic signs, T-shirts, stone benches, and many other media, function like chyrons: they are direct, emphatic, self-important, and full of contradictions. Truisms speak to the anxiety, humor, banality, tragedy, and urgency of modern life. Media strategist Gillian Branstetter was quick to capture and encapsulate the similarities between Carlson’s chyron and Holzer’s Truisms. Bodily autonomy and self-determination can be fraught, but privacy and health are pillars of the women’s reproductive rights movement; the fight over them resulted in the establishment of protection beyond choice.
