What a great art project!
I don't write much about social issues, but since I seem to be the only political writer left on the USD blogosphere, I need to post this.
A Yale senior has been giving herself abortions for an art project.
---
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.
---
The display of Schvarts’ project will feature a large cube suspended from the ceiling of a room in the gallery of Green Hall. Schvarts will wrap hundreds of feet of plastic sheeting around this cube; lined between layers of the sheeting will be the blood from Schvarts’ self-induced miscarriages mixed with Vaseline in order to prevent the blood from drying and to extend the blood throughout the plastic sheeting.
Schvarts will then project recorded videos onto the four sides of the cube. These videos, captured on a VHS camcorder, will show her experiencing miscarriages in her bathrooom tub, she said. Similar videos will be projected onto the walls of the room.
---
Wow. I wonder what the "pro-choice" crowd has to say about this (I'm ambivalent on abortion, so don't comment regarding my views). Isn't this a gross abuse of the right to "choice?" Does "choice" mean that someone can abort a baby because of an art project?

I wouldn't say you are the ONLY political writer left on the USD blogosphere - maybe just the most misinformed.
Hey - I didn't see you at the USD LEADERSHIP AWARDS this past Monday. I got nominated twice for two different Outstanding Leadership categories. Geez... what happened this year Matt? Too busy writing your blog?
Harry to your Malfoy,
- Doug
p.s. All joking aside - I must say you had the most well-maintained and updated USD blog. I had to run two different blogs this year, my own and the VLP Blog or else I would have kept up with you. And while I agreed with little or nothing you've ever posted - I do like your articles in the Volante from time to time - and I do appreciate that even if you are a misinformed and misguided Republican right now - at least you are INVOLVED and INTERESTED in the American political process which is more than I can say for a great number of students who seem to have more interest in booze and watching sports on TV than bothering themselves with the Presidential Race - AND there's always a chance you will wake up and realize the error of your ways and come around to the Good Side of the Force one day.

I wasn't referring to you. I was referring to the Democrats. Your blog isn't political. The content of political blogs has basis in prove-able fact.
