I don’t care if you’re pro-choice or pro-life — you should be appalled by the following.

Just read, courtesy of FOX News (and I doubt other media outlets will even cover this story):

A Yale student who claims she artificially inseminated herself “as often as possible” and then took drugs to induce miscarriages for her senior art project says she will showcase the stomach-turning display next week - complete with her own blood samples and videos from the terminated possible pregnancies. […]

Shvarts said the goal of the project is to encourage debate and discussion about the connection between art and the human body.

“I hope it inspires some sort of discourse,” Shvarts, whose age was withheld, told Yale’s newspaper. “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.” […]

Shvarts wouldn’t say how many times she was artificially inseminated and actually got pregnant for the project - which she described to the Yale paper as a huge cube hanging from the ceiling and swathed in plastic sheeting smeared with her blood from the reported miscarriages. The existence and number of pregnancies Shvarts may have had weren’t independently confirmed.

Videos taken of what the college student says were self-induced abortions in her bathtub will be projected both on the cube’s sides and on the gallery walls.

Wow.

I’m not even going to say anything about this — I don’t think I need to. If you don’t find it disgusting and disturbing, there’s something wrong with you.

UPDATE (4/17 10:43 PM): It’s not real! But — a disturbing thought nonetheless.
