Yale art major Aliza Shvarts, set to graduate this year, will unveil an art installation next Tuesday that will likely have people on both sides of the abortion debate lining up in protest. The story is here

Shvarts artificially inseminated herself and then took abortifacient drugs to induce miscarriages. Over nine months, she video-documented her experiences. The tapes and blood samples will be displayed next Tuesday as part of an art installation for her senior project.

She told the Yale Daily News that this art piece wasn't for "shock value," but was intended to spark discussion.

But how could anyone not be shocked by what Ms. Shvarts has done?
