Yale Abortion a Hoax
Aliza Shvarts is a performance artist and did not induce multiple miscarriages.
The Yale University Office of Public Affairs has just announced that the senior art project for Aliza Shvarts is a hoax. In reality, Shvarts is a performance artist. Her project included “visual representations” as well as a press release and narrative materials.
Shvartz told three senior Yale University officials, which included two deans, that she did not impregnate herself, nor did she induce any miscarriages. The project was intended to be an art piece of creative fiction to draw attention to the “ambiguity surrounding form and function of a woman’s body.”
Yale commented on Shvartz’ project, saying “She is an artist and has the right to express herself through performance art. Had these acts been real, they would have violated basic ethical standards and raised serious mental and physical health concerns.”
