YALE STUDENT USED MULTIPLE SELF-INDUCED ABORTIONS FOR ART PROJECT

RICK ROLLIN’ UPDATE: Yale University schooled us all real bad. Apparently, the whole thing was a hoax. The school’s spokesperson released the following:

Ms. Shvarts is engaged in performance art. Her art project includes visual representations, a press release and other narrative materials. She stated to three senior Yale University officials today, including two deans, that she did not impregnate herself and that she did not induce any miscarriages. The entire project is an art piece, a creative fiction designed to draw attention to the ambiguity surrounding form and function of a woman’s body.

She is an artist and has the right to express herself through performance art.

Had these acts been real, they would have violated basic ethical standards and raised serious mental and physical health concerns.

I think Yale should be really proud of themselves. They have managed to destroy the credibility of their newspaper AND make a hilarious prank out of slaughtering unborn children. And everyone knows that abortion makes for amazing jokes. Boy, they sure showed us!

It’s amazing what passes for humor up there.

Thanks to FWF for the tip.

Here’s the original post:

The story of Yale student Aliza Shvarts’ senior “art project” — described as “a documentation of a nine-month process during which she artificially inseminated herself ‘as often as possible’ while periodically taking abortifacient drugs to induce miscarriages” — has been blowing up all over the Internet in the past couple of hours. And people from all sides are rightly disgusted.

It’s been circulated so often (I finally gave in and started writing this after having the link emailed to me by more than a dozen different people) that the Yale Daily News, who wrote the piece, ran out of bandwidth and had to temporarily display the page in plain text.

The Daily News article said Shvarts created the “art exhibition,” which will reportedly feature will feature video recordings of the abortions as well as blood from the process, to “spark conversation and debate on the relationship between art and the human body.” Unfortunately, being that she basically conducted a mini-genocide, I think the only “conversation” will be about how much time she should spend in prison.

LifeNews picked up on the Daily News story and added a few horrifying details:

Shvarts says she… self-induced an abortion with the dangerous RU 486 drug.

Afterwards, she saved her blood and the blood from each of the babies she killed to create an art display.

The display consists of a cube with video footage she took of the miscarriages on either side and a canvas in the middle with paintings created from the blood. (emphasis added)

Shvarts mixed Vaseline with the blood to prevent it from drying and placed the blood between sheets of plastic wrapped around the cube that hung from the ceiling.

In a statement, Shvarts wouldn’t reveal how many abortions she had over the nine month period in order to create the art project but it appears at least two abortions were necessary to complete the art display.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with people?

My stomach is still churning so I’m not going to comment on this other than this: This girl used Yale resources — part of which come from federal funds — while getting course credit for a project where she purposely murdered countless babies. She even used the blood to create paintings, and somehow thought all of this was “art.” That’s simply sickening.

I’m not usually this reactionary to abortion, but she has me pretty pissed off.

And all the pro-abortionites out there should be just as pissed off as the pro-lifers, because I think Shvarts just made a really great case against keeping abortion legal.
