Art major Aliza Shvarts ’08 wants to make a statement.
Beginning next Tuesday, Shvarts 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.
Joyclyn Elders said that, “abortion should be safe[sic], legal and rare.” Even Elders didn’t seem to envision abortion as a sport. There is one or more fathers who have had the sons killed for sport and are about to see their dead human remains presented as if they are some weird kind of art. This not art. It is butchery. Will the fathers of these dead babies please step forword to give their sons a proper civilizied burial. No man can stand mute while some depraved bitch uses his dead son’s body as if were art.
Is there no shame at Yale?

Update:(Bit) Billy notes the story and says: [5]
It would do me a world of good to see that little girl sent to her room without supper.
And for some reason, I am reminded of past conversations I’ve had with Billy, and one comes to mind about the natural consequences of a principle. In this case, that these children are not human.
In that context, I am reminded, for some reason, of lampshades. [6] Argue, if you will about ‘did the nazis really do that’, but regardless of the outcome of that, this girl has either followed suit, or gone one better, and on the very same principle.
