WESTBURY, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) – A 33-foot bronze sculpture of a nude pregnant woman has upset some residents of a Long Island village.

The statue, “The Virgin Mother,” by British artist Damien Hirst has an exposed fetus, skull and tissue.

It stands on a conservation easement of the historic Old Westbury estate of real estate mogul Aby Rosen and is only visible to neighbors and those welcome on the five acres, WCBS 880′s Mike Xirinachs reported.

The mayor called the sculpture out of character with the exclusive neighborhood and has proposed some village rule changes that could force its removal, Xirinachs reported.

1. The nude human body,

biology, and science seem to upset a lot of people lately.

I find it all very confusing.
