1. Is this really art?
I have skepticism.

I'll leave the debate as to whether this is moral to the ethicists...for now. I may weigh in if I feel it is necessary later.

2. Wow.
I really don't know what to think about this. I'm a little disturbed to be perfectly honest...

3. who cares about the abortion....
..... did you read the article? The final result of the project is just about the most cliched piece of crap senior art project stereotype I could ever imagine. She could have genetically modified embryos to become 1/2 human, 1/2 coyote babies, and then hunted them with poisoned nerf darts, and the most shocking thing about this would still be how fucking lame and unimaginative the final presentation is. A box wrapped in blood/vaseline coated plastic with videos projected on it? *YAWN*

"OH! The videos will also be projected on the walls of the gallery.... well.... that's certainly never been done before. Here's your blue ribbon. You get first prize in living your life as an oft parodied character. BLAM-O!! Now, please, get me an english muffin and that coffee, because after your trust fund runs out, the only job you'll be qualified for is waiting tables - if you can get it."

17. NIPPLES!
I'd be curious to see what the Supreme Court has to say about nipples as a First Amendment issue.

6. It sounded suspicious to my ears.
Thanks for restoring my faith in humanity. Anyone want to lay odds this hoax was started by some anti-choice freak?

11. Google Search reveals the answer (kinda)...
but I am not touching it with a ten-foot pole. I'd like to ask questions (to other DUers) about it even and what means...but I like it here and I don't want the bannination. If I just outrightly told you...nobody would believe me anyways.

9. What she did was disgraceful and despicable
She has hurt the freedom of choice movement with her seriously screwed up actions. I hope they find a way to throw her in jail.

16. That's not going to happen
She is going to become the poster child for the forced birthing movement.

10. "I hope it inspires some sort of discourse," right
People say that kinda crap about a lot of stupid things they do but it doesn't make this a good idea. It sounds like she's got mental problems, maybe just stupidity (if it's a real story I mean)

I don't care which side you come down on the abortion debate, that's just disgusting whichever two ways you cut it.
