Aliza Shvarts using abortion as art or a hoax????

Aliza Shvarts, a Yale art student,stirred up controversy with her senior project. She claimed to induce abortions repeatedly and used the blood on her art project. Is this a hoax? It's too late for an April fools hoax.

She claims to use herbal drugs to induce miscarriages. Next Tuesday, she will have her art in the exhibit and it will include videos of forced miscarriages. She said, “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.” Couldn't she have done this some other way? Is this a hoax or does she have issues?

I think this women has issues. To even think of this type of hoax, it's just wrong. It's disgusting to use this hoax to get attention drawn to her.
