She lied...maybe

Late yesterday,  Yale University issued a statement saying abortion artist Aliza Shvarts told them she was never pregnant and never induced any abortions.

It wan't a lie, they said, but "performance art."

So, it seemed the matter was settled.

Now, however, Schvarts is sticking by her story and claiming:

I’m not going to absolve them by saying it was some sort of hoax when it wasn’t...I started out with the University on board with what I was doing, and because of the media frenzy they’ve been trying to dissociate with me. Ultimately I want to get back to a point where they renew their support because ultimately this was something they supported.

Shvarts does admit now that she can not be certain she was ever pregnant. "The nature of the piece is that it did not consist of certainties," she said.
