WTF-able: Abortion Art

[Zephayra]

From Yale Daily News:

Yale Art Major creates art with self induced abortions

I can't link on this weird new 3.7 version; so here is the link:

I'm all for free speech and pro choice, but like...seriously. What the fuck?

Edit: So 6 minutes later, its exposed as a fake, but I still stand by my WTF.

Yep. She's psycho.

 

[RaidrX]

Their sites down due to traffic surge lmao. Pwnt.

I thought it was pretty hilarious when I first read about it. I imagine it made a lot of people squirm... which was probably the entire point.

 

[hellstorm]

wtf mate wtf

 

[K. Ishitar]

Yep. She's psycho.

agreed 100%, making life some sort of plaything and triviality, people love to bend things to their own means it's funny in some cases and outright disgusting in others.

She wasn't doing that, though. No actual abortions were involved, although she managed to tie the anti-choicers up in knots for a few hours, drooling at the possibilities of a having a new poster child for their cause. I'm not really sure how that was supposed to work, since generally they act like all abortions are trivial, even the carefully thought-out ones.

What I gathered from the article is that she was getting pregnant through artificial insemination and then taking drugs that would cause her to miscarriage. Although it's not like she is using a hanger, that kind of sounds like abortion to me.

 

[Halifirien]

What I meant was she wasn't even getting pregnant. It was all fake.

 

[Zephayra]

Since this is fake, a video of herself throwing her down the stairs could also be appropriate, or maybe herself with a clothes hanger, the list goes on. If she really wanted to shock people, she could demonstrate how women would be getting abortions if and when abortion is illegal and how it takes a toll of women's health when they have to use other means. Putting her own health at the stake of art is something I just can't justify.

 

[Trippyhippy]

I think the most shocking thing about the situation is that she isn't dead yet. Pro-lifee groups are often willing to kill to save lives. However that works.

Oh. lol I missed that part. Don't mind me lol

 

[Falsey]

yep all a hoax for the sake of hoaxing!
