Abortion = Art????
Filed under: Icky Icky Poo > Wacky, Tacky & TrueSometimes people use the excuse of "art" in order to get away with craziness!
Aliza Shvarts, a Yale art major, has done something different for her senior art project this year.
The "artist" has documented herself throughout a 9 month process where she artificially inseminated herself and then periodically took abortifacient drugs in order to induce miscarriages.
The exhibit, which will begin next Tuesday, will include video recordings of the forced miscarriages.
WTF?!?!?! Ewwww!!!!!
It will also include preserved samples of the blood during the process.
According to Shvarts, her goal was to "spark conversation and debate on the relationship between art and the human body."
Students have expressed shock upon hearing of the exhibit. Rightfully so!
Shvarts insists that her art isn't for shock value. Liar. She says, "I hope it inspires some sort of discourse. Sure, some people will be upset with the message and will not agree with it, but it's not the intention of the piece to scandalize anyone."
As for the "donors", she claims they were not paid for their "services". She also claims to have required them to periodically take tests for STDs, though did not want to disclose the number of sperm donors used.
As for the medical risk related to multiple abortions, Shvarts says she was not worried. She said the abortifacient drugs she took were herbal and legal, and decided she didn't need to consult a doctor.
IDIOT!!!!!
What if she's caused herself serious and permanent damage????
At least this "artist" has one fan. Juan Castillo, another senior art major, said he was intrigued by the beauty of her project. He says, "I really loved the idea of this project, but a lot other people didn't. 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."
As for the actual exhibit, Schvarts will feature a large cube hanging from the ceiling. Wrapped around that cube will be hundreds of feet of plastic sheeting which will be lined with her blood from the miscarriages.
Ewwww!!!!
The old blood will be mixed with vaseline to prevent it from drying.
Double EWWWWWW!!!
She will also project the recorded videos of herself, showing the miscarriages she had in her bathtub, onto the sides of the cube.
Similar footage will also be projected onto the walls of the room.
We're starting to get a bit queezy!
This is TOO MUCH!!!!!!
Shvarts adds, "It was a private and personal endeavor, but also a transparent one for the most part. This isn't something I've been hiding." Adding, that she believes "strongly that art should be a medium for politics and ideologies, not just a commodity. I think that I'm creating a project that lives up to the standard of what art is supposed to be."
We're all for a woman's right to choose, but this is abusing that right.
We don't know what to think anymore.
What do U think?
I think it is in your face from her to whomever and I believe she should be arrested!
I'm about to throw up… What a fucking freako!
I hope like that she can't even get into the exhibit because of protests and riots outside!!!!! She should throw herself from a bulding. Splatter paint used to be very vogue in art. Splatter blood might be the next big thing?
Fucking freako!!!!!!! EW EW EW EW EW
Re: Gee – you are retarded. semen is not a child. you don't abort semen.
This is the type of shit the fucking republicans would use to take away our right to choose. This psychotic woman is completely abusing Roe vs. Wade and calling it "ART". Art it is not, it's the murdering of innocent life that did not ask to be apart of her "art".
OH my god what is this world coming to?? Is that not the saddest most perverted thing you have ever heard? I just cried while i read this
wtf.. psycho!
jst reading this makes me feel sick.. i cant imagine anyone would want to see the real thing
How the hell could u justify this as art?!?! Permeditated Manslaughter, thats what shes really doing. I'm pro-choice, but this is sick. I wish i knew how to get ahold of this crazy bitch and harass the crap out of her. And call it art.
This monster can get pregnant but I can't? Unbelievable.
As someone who recently just miscarried twins "naturally", I want to take every baby she's aborted and shove it down her arrogant throat!
It makes my heart break for all the people who can't have children and she's just throwing them away like garbage.
WTF? As a currently pregnant mother, this makes me fucking sick! What the fuck is wrong with her? At one time, when I was young an naive I was pro-choice, but being that I have felt the life inside of me, I know that life begins at conception, and for her to do something like this on purpose….? Words escape me.
I hope she burns in HELL!
I'm all for the right to choose and all…but most people who have an abortion or miscarry generally have feelings of guilt and loss…what is wrong with her! She's basically a serial killer
How do we contact the bitch? I want to send her hate mail!!!
"What if she's caused herself serious and permanent damage????"
that would be great! I hope she has caused damage and can never get pregnant or carry a baby to term. Maybe then she will realize that miscarriages and abortion are not some joke and when you want to be pregnant and can't there is nothing fun or artsy about it.
She really is young, dumb and full of cumm!
EEW! Who kills babies on purpose?
"Art" was a lame excuse for being a whore.
This made me physically sick! What is wrong with her? That is not art, it is sadistic!
I am an artist and this ruins opportunities for real artists elsewhere, this is why censorship happens people! This is wrong on many levels and besides….arbortion is a million year old controversy find a new one to exploit honey….oh and by sperm donors she meant one night stands.
Re: Kate –
Go away, troll…
What a sick, twisted and SADISTIC bitch she is. I hate pretentious ass people like her. She is a MURDERER. She was pregnant with a child and killed it. Several of them! The end. Art my ass. She is fucking nuts. She should be thrown in a cell and chuck the fucking key. I hope no one goes to see that shit. This is a real emotional, horrid thing that happens to women EVERY DAY. Women who struggle for YEARS to get pregnant and this crazy woman can spit cum near her vajayjay and get knocked up only to kill the fetus? SICK. Wrong, stupid and sick.
Re: Rommy –
this is totally sick and this person should be shot!!! what a sick fuck!!! Women have the rights but what about ALL our rights TO NOT SEE A BABY GETTING KILLED AND IT GETTING GLORIFIED!!! This isn't art it's disgusting and this woman is going straight to HADES, BYE BYE BITCH!!!!
This is the type of thing right here that gives people like me a bad name. I had to have an abortion last year because the doctors told me that if I carried to term, there was a chance that the baby and I would both die. This is the type of thing that makes people picket abortion centers. What an idiot.
This is beyond unethical. It is one thing, to allow or support certain abortion rights. It is entirely another thing to INTENTIONALLY CREATE LIFE only to INTENTIONALLY END IT for "ART". That is NOT art, that is murder.
Shocking and upsetting. When there are so many women that are trying to get pregnant and can't. This ignorant worthless human being is killing her own children. It absolutely disgusts me!! Seems she is not doing very well as an artist and has to bring attention to herself somehow. I agree with a previous post, I wish her mother had aborted her!
I can see where this woman is coming from. Personally I don't think there is any boundaries to art as long as you are not purposely trying to hurt others.. But she has to be seriously demented to think other people will this as art. That's what art is about .. you're not trying to impress yourself, art is about what other people think. And this, is gross.
how crazy is that?, that kind of people need to get a life!
Re: meeg – You took the words right outta my mouth. lets kill that bitch before she can kill any other precious lives….
Re: Rommy – "I think I'm gonna go kill someone, cover their body in paint, and call it "Art"." —– Great point!!!!! Because she is killing a HUMAN BEING for art, what's the difference if we go out, find her, kill her, and splash paint all over her for the world to see…what? it's just beautiful art. She is an obvious psycho and as someone else said on here…SERIAL KILLER!!!!!
WOW We Can Only Hope That This Stupid Cunt Seriously Fucked her Body up, So for 1 she can never reproduce, and 2 so this dumb bitch can drop dead and go to HELL where she belongs. Reading things like this makes me sick to know that are very freedoms are making us sick sick individuals. IT is not funny to video tape beatings of little girls, people starving dogs, or throwing them off cliffs, but this just shows how treuly FUCKED UP our wonderfull Country Really is and has been. PLEASE PEOPLE OPEN YOUR EYES AND YOUR MIND.
Yale should be ashamed for a having such a vile, disgusting human being as a student. What fucking moron thinks this is "ART". Horrible.
definetly the most disgusting thing i have ever heard, i know art can be what ever you want it to but that is SICK, this twat should be made sterile who the fuck does she think she is, women have the right yh but abortion is not art its serious shit.
this is absolutely gross. how come the school is still allowing her to go forth with this exhibit?! and what did she do with the remains of the children that she aborted? either way this woman is sick, and is definitely abusing the right that women have. its not art to abort childrn…bottom line she needs psychiatric help!
this is disgusting!!!!! she should be forced into sterilaztion
All of us were born. All of us were alive before we "left" the womb. All human life is sacred. Abortion is the murder of a human life. It is an every day holocaust. I have no words for this. Abortion is the equivalent of cannibalism. It is murder. Murder of the most innocent of people.
This woman should be sterlized and sent away to live on a remote, desloate, freezing island somewhere…never to be heard from again. What a waste of oxygen. Hopefully she will get hers!
I can't believe someone just said abortion is not a choice..yes the hell it is. You shouldn't be having unprotected sex if you don't want to create a living person. Women want the right to choose because they want to continue being whores and not having safe sex and stop sleeping around with everyone. Women don't have the choice to miscarriage and this "artist" isn't projecting anything artistic to me by doing this. WOmen stop being so irresponsible and selfish..protect yourselves..you could even catch aids or an std..stop being so stupid!! They say o I'm not ready and I'm too young or I'm not financially stable, then close your legs!! Women around the world raise children and they don't let their situations lead them to murder…that could have been you.
So many great people and inventors wouldn't be here if they were aborted. Women are worth more than we think, stop degrading yourselves
this is not art. and no one can ever talk me into believing that it is.
there are millions of women out there that can NOT get pregnant this is a slap in the face to everyone not just women. I have NEVER been more disgusted in my life. SHAME ON YALE FOR ALLOWING THIS crap.

But, she could have pushed this further.

I think liberalism is a mental disorder. And, I hope she sterilized herself!!!! What a freak!!
"There was a time when people this sick would have been subjected to an exorcism, or at the very least locked away in a mental asylum. Now, they're rewarded with degrees from Ivy League institutions. Soon Shvarts will be collecting your money via NEA grants."
From moonbattery.com
absolutely abhorent.
this made me cry this is so wrong this isn't art . i'm all for woman right as a woman my self but this is just so wrong why would and do this?
DISGUSTING. What kind of woman keeps getting pregnant IN ORDER TO HAVE ABORTIONS???
I am an art student in college too, and this is NOT ART! I am pro-choice but she is surely going straight to HELL.
I hope some day she wants to get pregnant but can't because she abused her body and the right to live for those babies. She's a murderer. Sick sick girl.
Webster defines art as the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects; and works so produced.
While the definition leaves room to intrepretation I think the majority of us are looking at this issue from the wrong stand point. We are granted personal freedoms in this country and this artist has excersized her right to use or abuse them depending on how you see fit. To further attack this woman will only add fuel to the fire and coud potentially cause us to have a loss of liberties. I emplore you insted of attacking the artist; look into the gallery that is showing her works, anyone remember Mapplethorpe and his "gay pornography"? The government could not make Mapplethorpe quit making art (Thankfully) but rather went after the gallery for displaying his art. I imagine the same will follow here. Whether or not you ethically agree with this woman you still have to love a country that lets us jude for ourselves.
Why could she just use menstrual blood it's pretty much the same thing.
This is disgusting…and I have a b.a. in art history.
I hope with all those pills she taking she kills herself, I am pregnant and noone with a mind like this should live and I mean no one. I want to kill this girl for getting pregnant and killing all of these babies, so she can what? Get a good Grade?? If I was judging this I would jump on it or smash it and hand it back to her saying "here I smashed your life like you smashed all those babies lives. F —- HER!!!!!!!!!
I hope she's messed up her chances to ever become a mother, because she is in no way fit to be a mother. I'm sorry for all women who have ever miscarried babies that were wanted and loved who had to read this sick story.
Everybody knows what art is. Its all about beauty. Even an uneducated person can pinpoint what that is. But since when did abortion or any form of killing become classified as art? U went as far as aborting babies to prove ur point and not only have u disrespected and commited a sin against God but also to the real artists who stay true to their craft. this is proof enough that u're mentally ill, displaying fetus' blood without even the slightest feeling of gulit for thier death, what moral person can do that? there's millions of women out there who would DO ANYTHING to give birth to a child and mothers who could never stand again when thier child dies and u play and experiment with this like they're some kind of goods. I really hope u get ur deserved punishment here and lifeafter.
Hopefully one day when she wants to have a child she won't be able to. God's way of saying you had your chance.
Re: Kate – Your an Idiot
that is the sickest thing I've ever heard.
it is sad one needs to look at something so extreme to even talk about the importance of art in our society. Perhaps before judging the piece you should think about it's purpose.
She's getting pregnant just to kill the unborn fetuses. This is pre-meditated murder, SOMEONE GET ON THIS NOW!!!!

This is so wrong on so many levels. She and Mathew Barney need to get together, since his "art" sucks, too.
this is sick….what about women who are trying to get pregnant and cant…this is really really sad. she has no respect for herself or family…or human life.
This girl already has a special place reserved for her in hell. What a disgusting human being. She really isn't a human being actually.
HOW COULD SOMEONE THINK THAT WAY!!!! HOW IS SHE NOT THINKING ON THE BABY THAT IS INSIDE HER! AS A MOTHER THIS TEARS ME UP!!!!
She should be shot.
I can't believe what this world has come to. Those poor babies. I look at my two year old and I can't imagine doing such a horrific thing to another human being….and then documenting it and calling it "art". Go to hell woman…that's where you belong if there is such a place.
yes, it may be gross and shocking, but ultimately it's her body, you, me, or anyone else doesn't have any say about what she does. honestly, i don't care/can't be bothered by other people's decisions they make. i have my own life to focus on. i say, do whatever you want!
And this has nothing to do with prochoice. Pro choice ISN'T choosing to get pregnant multiple times and then choosing to abort!!!!
So sad, how could it go this far? I just feel sick.
HORRIFIC!
I am in tears.
God bless those aborted babies.
Re: Kate – Are you her manager?

aliza.shvarts@yale.edu
If she causes permanent damage to herself SHE DESERVES IT! There are women all over the world, who cant have children but would be amazing moms. This bitch is sick, and heartless and has no morals. She should never be allowed the privelage of getting pregnant and having a baby. What is wrong with the world today? People are so fucking stupid and its our babies and our children that are paying the price for it…just heartbreaking.
I can't believe that this monster is being praised by more than ONE person in any community. A woman has a right to choose, and Perez was right when he said she was "abusing" that. She obviously has sick and twisted mental issues and self-abuse issues. I feel bad for her, and for the soul that was destroyed in the process. Regardless of the use of her unborn fetus, that baby had a soul, and was murdered. END OF STORY.
Sick woman.
Her email address: Aliza.Shvarts@yale.edu
The dean email address: robert.storr@yale.edu
This is disgusting. I'm a young woman that I have been trying to have a baby for the last 5 years, but I can't and this cruel woman get pregnant just to abort for a selfish reason like that???
this is HORRIBLE!!!!! I agree with perez, this is what happens when people abuse abortion (which is horrible enough as it is). I hope she makes a freakin zero on her project. DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This bitch must die! She's a disgrace among woman and the Human race as well.
As a latina that isn't privileged to attended an Ivy League school, I'm speechless and shocked that such a school as Yale can allow this.
How can one continually create a life and kill it for entertainment purposes? Have we no morals? This is a disgrace and a slap on the face to any woman who is trying to have children but can't, and to anyone- man or woman who have lost a baby. I hope her guilt, health and psychology will fuck her over!
This is what those Ivy-League assholes think is brilliant, and will probably offer her a job at Yale.
I don't really have a problem with this. People need to get over the fact that abortion is a "bad thing." Population control motherfuckers.
I am pro-choice, but is taking it way to far! abortions are not art! intentionally getting pregnant and having abortions are not art! It's demeaning and making light of the terrible decision thousands of women every day have to make!
What to make a debate about art of and the human body? See a bodyworld display! Nude preformance art! Hell, photograph the inside of the human body!
I think this is a sad excuse and a very sick individual!!
..

….
EVERYONE EMAIL HER YOUR FEELINGS AT aliza.shvarts@yale.edu
Disgusting! when i think of all the poor women who have fertility issues and this low-life doing this to the poor fetuses…. I am all for the right to choose, but to purposely conceive to have them aborted is disgusting!
Well, I am an artist with an extremely liberal view and appreciation for the bizarre, thought provoking and even radical art work. True, it is art because that is her intention. But It is self endangering, and pointless. We already have women having REAL abortions at the center of the important moral debate. Why do we need her to stage PLANNED ABORTIONS to get people all hyped up. Its stupid, pointless and irresponsible as far as I'm concerned, and of course, that's putting it mildly, compared to people who have strong anti-abortion views.
I think it's a desperate play for art world notoriety. Pretty pathetic.
But isn't this a woman's right to choose? There lies the rub. Once you say that it is not life, that it is your body your choice, this becomes acceptable behavior. Why is this different than having one abortion?
She has created controversy, she will fuel the fires of debate, and hypocrisy at the same time.
The delicate point that the whole of the abortion debate fundamentally pivots on is the issue of murder. Certainly this is abortion with intent. Awful and unethical.
This is the product of a twisted and sick mind. Simple as that. It isn't art, it is a disgusting and desperate cry of a sick person. Yale should be ashamed for letting this happen at their institution. Making light of a serious social issue is beyond that which society will accept. Shame Shame Shame on her
As sick and horrendous as this whole thing seems, I question Yale University's stance…What the hell are they thinking? Is there no code of ethics/morality of some sort? The saddrest part is that art is becoming a free for all where ANYTHING goes because it is 'art'!
AMAZING
humanity at its lowest
im disgusted beyond words..she's gone to far with her 'art'
Lizzie, you forgot to mention one very important reason why women abort: rape! Rape can be so traumatizing a woman that she cannot keep and deliver that child…
Although I do not find it okay if woman to not protect properly, i think it s better they have an abortion if they absolutely do not want to habve a child instead of being forced to have it and then will kill and neglect it or abuse it physically /mentally…
#836 - lizziebnice…..sometimes says – reply to this
come on now people- is this really any worse or different than what millions of stupid women have done or will do?? isnt it just the same thing, women getting pregnant "by accident" , becuase instead of USING AVAILABLE PROTECTION to NOT GET PREGNANT, use ABORTION to NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE RESULT OF UNPROTECTED SEX?
or what of the vatican continuing to "grow its flock" by not encouraging families to be careful about the number of children they have and can realistically can support??
by all means, i am totally pro choice, i beleive in a womans right to choose, and i will never be for taking that choice away. but there are just too many
This is disgusting. I too am all about the woman's choice, but this is taking it WAY too far.
That bitch has a seat reserved in hell! VIP baby!
I MISS THE DAYS WHEN THEY COULD FORCE INSTITUTIONALIZE PEOPLE.
#892 - tucxie says –
Some info:
She is a Yale student, graduating in 08 and her name is Aliza Shvarts. Did anyone go to Yale and could provide the email address format?
Hey tucxie, good idea. Per Yale's website: first.last@yale.edu
Have fun!
Hope it's a hoax - definitely one attention hungry ho, either way…if by chance it's real, we need to pass a law - Perez, can you follow up on that, use your power for good etc etc
there is so much going through my head about this. i wonder if she would like the same treatment. some people cant even have children and want them so bad and she is going to just kill one cause it's "art". everyone has the right to choose but that is abusing the system. God's eyes are always open. someday she will want kids and she will have damaged herself with all this behavior. it's really sad.
This is Sick!!!!!!!
So many lost little souls!!!!
Sira ang Ulo,Puta…..
Impierno ang destinasyon ng Bruha!!!!
Lost of life in a nonsense way!!!
For Art????????Wish her mother aborted her ass When she was just a Fetus.. KARMA swings back at you Demonyita….
This is a huge setback for Pro Choice rights. What kind of person could do this? I am very much in favor of a woman's right to choose but it is a personal and private decision. To use it to pretend to be an artist is disgusting. The conservatives will have field day with this and this idiot has set women back 100s of years in terms of progress. Rights will certainly be ripped apart. Way to go!
This is just sick and wrong. I am all for Pro-Choice but seriously, she killed one child after another! For the sake of art!!!! WTF? I think that she should probably check herself into a mental hospital asap! This seriously makes me sick to my stomach.
by the way, she's getting exactly what she wanted. great art is often shocking, and talked about a lot. well, by people making it such a big deal, she's getting that validation. if everyone thinks it's so sick, get over it and continue on with your lives! don't give her the attention then.
Sick n' twisted.
I think this woman should be charged with murder! To plan in advance to get pregnant, knowing you are going to take the fetus's life, sounds like 1st degree murder to me. I believe in a woman's right to choose, but this goes way beyond that. So wreckless, so wrong. She is obviously mentally ill.
what the fuck! this bitch needs to be miscarried herself. With all the SERIOUS debate, heartache and controversy over reproductive rights and a woman's right to choose that are actually going on - this little freak goes and for the sake of an amateur art show makes a mockery of the issue. YOU CAN'T JUST GO AROUND GIVING YOURSELF MISCARRIAGES FOR AN ART FINAL - ever heard of decoupage!!
This story is a prime example of what legalizing abortion has done to our society. We have de-valued human life so much that people decide to create it then take it away for 'art' as if it were nothing at all!
This sickens and saddens me deeply, and shows that the option to terminate pregnancy should not be placed in the hands of humans. Abortion laws allowed this to happen because they say that unborn babies are worthless.
