To the Editor:

Although I can appreciate Lydia Chammas '09's well-written social critique of Aliza Shvarts' "abortion art" ("For Art's Sake," Apr. 23), mere comparison to vomit or hair does not even begin to scratch the loathsome surface. Whether Shvarts is simply twisted or a simple liar is inconsequential; barely a whisper has been heard in support of her artistic expression. Near universal condemnation of "abortion as art" brings the gloomy, unspoken undertones of the pro-choice lifestyle into focus: an arbitrarily broken fetus on canvas.
