Paging Stephane Dion

Hey, Steffi... still looking for suitable female Liberal candidates?
"Beginning next Tuesday, Shvarts will be displaying her senior art project, a documentation of a nine-month process during which she artificially inseminated herself "as often as possible" while periodically taking abortifacient drugs to induce miscarriages."

"Her exhibition will feature video recordings of these forced miscarriages as well as preserved collections of the blood from the process."
The process, huh?

(h/t reader rich)

FROM THE COMMENTS:
"I'm sure this project will look great on her resume. Years of expensive 'education', and she'll be qualified to do what when she graduates? Oh, but for students like her, it's not about the qualifications; it's all about the 'experience'."

UPDATE: Some folks are asking questions...
If it’s a hoax, it’s an abhorrent and disgusting one. If it turns out to be true, it’s of course all the more so and far worse.

Either way, where are the adults at Yale?

LAST WORD: Yup, it's official... it's a HOAX
The student, Aliza Shvarts, told three senior Yale University officials, including two deans, that she did not do the things she claimed in her art project, according to the statement.

"The entire project is an art piece, a creative fiction designed to draw attention to the ambiguity surrounding form and function of a woman’s body," said Helaine S. Klasky, associate dean and vice president for public affairs in a statement sent to FOXNews.com. "Ms. Shvarts is engaged in performance art. Her art project includes visual representations, a press release and other narrative materials."

"She is an artist and has the right to express herself through performance art," Klasky wrote.
