Abortion as an Art Form
For sheer depravity, it wasn't easy for the art community to top publicly starving a dog to death — yet Yale art student Aliza Shvarts has managed:
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.
No, Shvarts is not staging a remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre in her own womb. It's all about moonbattery. In her own words:
I believe 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.
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.

Yale is the same place where, last January, they held an abortion celebration to mark the 50 millionth baby killed since Roe v Wade (or something like that).

Thanks Van Helsing. That's exactly how I wanted to start my morning....almost vomiting on my keyboard.

Note the use of the term "forced miscarriages" rather than abortions? I wonder why?

I actually predicted years ago that the FemiNazis would get out the turkey basters and artificially inseminate themselves just so they could have abortions... people thought I was nutty, and I'm sorry to be proven correct.

How long until PBS raises money doing Abortion-A-Thons? With women showing up at an abortion clinic and viewers donating money - with 50% going to pay for the abortion until its paid for - then the deed is done.

The interesting thing about thing about this (and the only silver lining) is that the pro-choicers are all up in arms about how this trivializes abortion. In a way, that is true. This event has become a reductio ad absurdum against abortion.

Much "art" these days is repulsive and disturbing, but that is pure mental illness. Yale, rather than encouraging or allowing this, should be forcing the individual to get therapy.

OT:
IMAO has a Village Voice article talking about the top ten conservative bloggers with accompanying percentages on a stupid/evil scale. It's obviously slanted, but I'm sad to say they know more about these bloggers than I do.

I am sure Aliza is not doing anything that would cause her body harm in the future. Right?

But as the murder mills like to say - Nobody really advocates abortion.

I just went to Village Voice and checked out the blogger thing.
They bash even Obama supporters.
Total stupidity.

Art's supposed to be about creating things of beauty, not destroying them.

"Yale, rather than encouraging or allowing this, should be forcing the individual to get therapy."
Indeed. There was once a time, when behavior like this would surely land someone in a padded cell, with straight jacket attire. Moonbats can stop calling themselves "pro-choice" already, since most of them GLEEFULLY support the murder of the unborn.

Newsbusters debunks the claims of Aliza Shvarts:

They seem confident it's all a hoax.

from v the k's link
"Evans and Khoury also explained the finer points of abortion-clinic etiquette, including some potentially sensitive terminology. Khoury said physicians performing abortions generally refer to the aborted fetus remains as “POC,” an acronym for “product of conception,” and refer to fetus’ hearts as “FH.”"
lovely. this whole thing makes me want to cry. i'm a grown man, by the way.

In other news controversial Cambodian art student Saloth Sar drew parallels from Svarts' work to a community art project that he conducted in the 1970s, and expressed his desire to work with her in the future.
"I see a definite intersection in our objectives," said Sar. "Her commitment to define the connection between art and reality by murdering babies really mirrored the message I was trying to protray in 'Killing Fields,' that humans are on the whole worthless in comparison to an ideal, and sadistically slaughtering them is the best medium through which to express this grand truth."
"I could see us (himself and Svarts) putting together an even bigger project that would do even more to tug at humanity's collective conciousness in the future," Sar told Moonbattery through a translator.

anyone read Alan Garner's works? (sort of like a less grandiose but far more interesting and eerie Lord of The Rings - Weirdstone of Brisingamen and its sequels are a brilliant read)
those who have will know a "svart" as a goblin-like creature that lives underground in swarms, fears the light of day, and is generally filthy, evil and despicable.
too big a coincidence that it's so close to the name of this "artist" ?
