Fox News reports that Yale student Aliza Shvarts has had her 'Abortion Art' project banned from the opening of a campus exhibit:

Yale University followed through on its warning Tuesday and banned a student's 'abortion art' project from the opening of a campus exhibit after she continued to deny that she fabricated shocking stories of multiple inseminations and self-induced miscarriages.


Senior Aliza Shvarts' controversial piece still could be included in the student show, which runs through May 1, Yale officials indicated.

"Her exhibit is not on display, but it's unresolved as to whether it will be," said Yale spokesman Tom Conroy, suggesting discussions were in progress between the university and Shvarts.

While Shvarts has insisted that her project is real, news reports have contradicted her claims of artificially inseminating herself "as often as possible" and then inducing miscarriages, calling them nothing more than "creative fiction."

Here's a concept for a series of performance art pieces:

The basics are a locked room with videocameras running 24 hours a day for 1 month.

Some variables:

(1) Reverends John Hagee and Jeremiah Wright. Two Holy Bibles. 1 loaf of bread and 1 fish.

(2) Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. A television with live feed to Howard Dean's office. 1 bottle of Crown Royal and 1 pack of cigarettes.

(3) George Bush and Karl Rove. A television with live feed to a hospital in Iraq where maimed children are being treated. 2 gallons of water and 1 week's worth of K-ration.
