Shocking Abortion Art Project Rocks Yale

Is this an example of the "choice" that Sens. Clinton and Obama support?

By Ruben Obregon

The Daily Yale has a story about art major Aliza Shvarts, who reportedly impregnated herself multiple times and induced abortions on herself for the sake of her senior project.

According to the Daily Yale, the goal of the project was to spark conversation and debate on the relationship between art and the human body.

"I believe strongly that art should be a medium for politics and ideologies, not just a commodity," Shvarts said. "I think that I'm creating a project that lives up to the standard of what art is supposed to be."

So creating babies with the intention of killing them meets the standards of what art is supposed to be?

To me, this project meets the standard of what insanity is supposed to be.

The insanity doesn't stop with Shvarts - fellow art major Juan Castillo praised this art project from hell:

"I really loved the idea of this project, but a lot other people didn't," Castillo said. "I think that most people were very resistant to thinking about what the project was really about. [The senior-art-project forum] stopped being a conversation on the work itself."

The Reproductive Rights Action League of Yale (RAYL) has no official opinion about the project - which in itself is a position of silent approval. RAYL can't condemn the project because it would contradict the idea that a woman's choice to have an abortion should never be interfered with - a position that is contrary to the very purpose of the group.

Shvarts may have intended to spark debate about art and the body, but instead it has sparked debate about what "choice" really means.

I'll add to Fr. Pavone's "Is this what you mean" campaign with a similar challenge to "pro-choice" politicians:

Is this what you mean when you say you support a woman's right to choose?

IT IS HER BODY TO DO WITH WHAT SHE PLEASES AND YOU AND YOUR MINIONS HAVE NO SAY OVER IT.

Bonnie. You and this girl are two of the biggest scum bags in the US.

Choose Life at Yale doesn't have an official comment either. What does that mean?

These are the enlightened ones of our society? Its a frightening commentary on their delusions of grandeur.

I'm pro-choice and this absolutely sickens me. She should be expelled from Yale, and this "art project" definitely should not earn her a degree.

How can Yale support her on this?

She needs a SERIOUS mental evaluation. She's sick in the head.

Yale and Yalies do NOT support her on this. The only one who evidently did is her adviser, who should be fired. I am deeply ashamed that Yale should have (however unwittingly) played host to such a disgusting project, and hate that the name of the entire school will now be dragged through the mud for the sake of one psycho.

Hmmmm. Trading eternity in hell for fifteen minutes of fame. I'm thinking she might come to regret it.

What kind of credibility can this blog have if it repeatedly refers to the Yale Daily News as the "Daily Yale"?

Don't drag campus organizations into this. Their members have presumably different opinions and are not going to be able to make a unanimous "comment." Similarly:

@Ryan: Having no comment means...they have no comment.

For everyone demanding that "Yale" denounce this project or take even more severe action, who exactly do you have in mind? Administrators cannot presume to speak for the university--quite simply a community of students and scholars engaged in learning and research, and committed to ACADEMIC FREEDOM in their pursuits. Individuals may rightly condemn this project according to their own views, but no one should expect a public comment from University administrators.

My name is Margaret Blume, and I am an active member of Choose Life at Yale. We DO have a unanimous comment on the issue. The project is a depraved but telling reflection of the culture of death and disrespect for life that abortion has inevitably led to.. and the University's continued attempts to pass it off as "art" confirms that this callous indifference to life and the suffering caused by abortion is fully shared by Yale's "leadership." The YDN, when they wrote the article, unfortunately did not contact any of the active members of the group.
