And I Thought Abortion Was Generally Considered Undesirable

Weep and barf is how this article from Jezebel.com made me feel. Weepy and Barfy.

A Yale senior did her final woopdeedoo project on "art" and "political discourse" by repeatedly impregnating herself and then aborting the fetuses over a nine-month period.

Yah, I had to re-read that shit too.

No matter your individual stance on the legalities or moral implications of abortion, I would think making babies and then ripping them from your womb as an ART PROJECT IN WHICH NO COMMON PERSON WILL EVER UNDERSTAND ITS MESSAGE would seem a bit insane, if not unsafe and just... wasteful.

Do people really want to move peoples' hearts and minds to think, act or be better? Or is every act of defiance intended to be self-serving crap which only solidifies (and emotionally recharges) already PRETTY solid belief systems? Can anyone think of an instance when dolling out hardcore OFFENSE affected someone in a real way?
