Aliza Shvarts, for her Yale University “art” project, engaged in a nine-month process during which she artificially inseminated herself “as often as possible” while periodically taking abortion pills and herbs to cause miscarriages each time; her final “project” will feature videos of her bleeding in the bathtub during each “abortion;” preserved blood from the process; and plastic sheeting layered with a mixture of Vaseline and the post-abortion blood.

Any sane person’s reaction to reading the above statement should be a mixture of horror, disgust, and outrage.

But then, just hours after announcing her “project,” Shvarts recanted, telling Yale officials that her alleged abortion-ific project was simply a work of fiction, designed (of course) to stimulate a “discourse.”

An associate dean at Yale, Helaine Klasky, defended Shvarts by stating, “She is an artist and has the right to express herself through performance art.”

How about this: “She is an absolute freaking idiot and has the right to be ridiculed, mocked, and jeered for her so-called ‘performace art’.”

I don’t care if you are pro-life or pro-choice, for or against any type of reproductive freedom or restriction, an artist or feminist, a sensitive male or macho bully: this Shvarts person is a disgrace - to her school, to her supposed academic aspirations, to herself, and to her gender.
