I'm not sure how taking the live of an innocent child is art. It is absurd how she tries to justify this as art.
Abortion = Art? Okay... what?

I think there are other, more sensible ways to raise awareness for abortion and rape victims than displaying it in such a way. I'm sure you would be pretty shocked if someone was filmed getting raped then it displayed as an art exhibition, why is this any different?
Whatever her intentions were, I think it was a stupid idea and incredibly offensive, and I can't honestly think of anything that justifies her actions reasonably.
As a note, I'm pro choice but this incident is sickening.

Maybe her intensions were to raise awareness of, for example rape victims and what they have to go through - many of them choosing abortion.. Sometimes people need to see something as outrageous as this to realize the reality of life and the world around them...life isn't all sunshine and rainbows i'm afraid. Although i admit this is kinda creepy 
I just wanna keep an open mind and *hope* she's not some psycho, but rather an expressive individual who thought this might be a good idea to convey some kind of message....perhaps it wasn't a good idea to do it this way i dunno 
And please don't all go flaming me cause i'm just stating my opinion

Probably the most powerful display of art I have seen for rape victims were t-shirts depicting words, pics, whatever made by rape victims. It was truly heartbreaking and eye opening without being totally shocking and offensive.

Ivy League doesn't always equal intelligence. I'm still sort of amazed that she didn't bother preparing a better statement about what she hoped to do. At least the starving dog guy had something articulate, even if it's not a great way of demonstrating his thought
