Yale Student's 'Abortion Art' Claim a Scam: Claims that arts student, Aliza Shvart, will be displaying her abortion has been confirmed a hoax by the University. However, in Aliza Shvart's own words, it is not a hoax and she is offering proof. Also according to Huffington Post,
But Shvarts reiterated Thursday that she repeatedly use a needleless syringe to insert semen into herself. At the end of her menstrual cycle, she took abortifacient herbs to induce bleeding, she said. She said she does not know whether or not she was ever pregnant.Based on a report released by Yale News Daily on Thursday, arts student Aliza Shvarts '08 will be displaying her senior art project, 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. Her exhibition will feature video recordings of these forced miscarriages as well as preserved collections of the blood from the process. The goal in creating the art exhibition, Shvarts said, was to spark conversation and debate on the relationship between art and the human body.
The University later calls the art project a fiction. It says
According to a statement released by the University today, Aliza Shvarts '08 was never impregnated. She never miscarried. The sweeping outrage on blogs across the country was apparently for naught.Statement by Helaine S. Klasky, Spokesperson for Yale University says,
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.
As a father of 4 beautiful children, I see this as a terrible way to shock people into talking about and dealing with this sensitive and difficult subject. Abortion is an extremely taboo-ish subject, and I think that this young lady could have chosen a different medium to "paint" with, as well as a more tasteful way to do it. No, I'm not a woman, but I am a parent, and that should count for something
ReplyDeleteJust another example of a psuedo-intellectual liberal trying to offend the rest of society by doing something disgusting, immature, and disgraceful and calling it art. She may call it art but we know her only goal is to upset and offend those that feel that abortion is murder because she is so bitter and angry at society and probably with herself.

I feel that she should be allowed to show whatever she wants but this is crossing the line by controling life or death for some silly depiction for art. Thats not art sweety that is called Mental Problem that needs professional help!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteI've been browsing online greater than three hours these days, yet I never discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It's pretty price enough for me.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made
just right content material as you did, the web can be much
more helpful than ever before.
