What’s the difference between constantly, willfully miscarrying and art? Quite a lot, actually. While social conservatives in the trenches of the abortion debate rigidly insist that a newly fertilized egg is a full-fledged human being and abortion is murder, the pro-choice movement presents abortion as a usually responsible, oftentimes necessary choice between a woman and her doctor. Then, of course, someone like Yale Art major Aliza Shvarts comes along and turns 9 months of abortions into her senior art project.
Shvarts is trying to start a dialogue, you see, even if the dialogue consists entirely of pro-choicers trying to distance themselves from the douchiest trust-fund hipster ever and pro-lifers using it as grist for their worldview that all women want to ride the aborto-go-round, and may just use the leftovers to score points with their communist professors. She doesn’t want to shock anyone, but strangely enough, even the usually unflappable seem a little flabbergasted by her desperate and bizarre cry for help. I, for one, wonder what her final grade will be.
Oh, and way to ruin Roe v. Wade for the rest of us, asshole.
