Yale Student Has Multiple Abortions in the Name of Art

Lovely...

What I find irritating is the perpetuation that it was real. It was said and implied that she had gone through the motions. That's it. Just don't try to pretend to be doing one thing and go do something totally different.

Earlier she said she had herself artificially inseminated as often as possible for much of the past year and then took legal, herbal abortifacient drugs and filmed herself in her bathtub cramping and bleeding from the miscarriages.

She said her work would include video, a sculpture and a spoken piece describing what she had done.

So, what? She was doing a project on if she had done that as a project?

Oh well, I guess. She got exactly what she wanted. It's her body, at any rate. If this is her perspective, she can have it if she please.

There has been a lot of controversy over this, but to be honest, it just doesn't bother me a whole lot.

She is an adult woman, and can do whatever she wants with herself. She is very Tracy Emin-like to me, and I have no doubt she will become rich because of this stunt and the media coverage it has had.
