Student needs 1 million or she's gonna have an abortion

I can't even begin to express the degree of disgust I hold for this bitch. Unbelievable.

She's making a point. A horrible way to do it, but an effective one.

She is showcasing the fact she doesn't want the child to grow up in a home that cannot provide for it financially, and if abortion is the only option, then that's what she'll choose. She is exercising her right to choose whether or not to keep the child, and is just being a total asshole about it.

Balls deep?

No contraception besides abstinence is 100% effective.

This scenario is already happening, and does nothing to save the fetus. That's not very "pro-life".

Why can't something like this be illegal??How the hell is she getting away with this???

What happens to the money if she don't get the amount she is going after for??I'm curious,anyone know??

My guess is she keeps it. Not much people can do about the money that they donated to an anonymous source.

Why would it be illegal? People can choose to donate their money to any "charity" they wish. The fact that it may be immoral and wrong doesn't necessarily make it against the law.

You're assuming that this is true and not some social "experiment" or a scam to get money. I have a feeling that the father is a Nigerian prince who wants to help us collect our winnings in the UK lottery. From the website the whole thing feels like a scam as it doesn't give you anyway to try and verify her claims.

It's not even an effective way to prove the point, since the sketchiness of the campaign will turn off a lot of people who might otherwise have donated

Abort it then. Who cares?

I'm sorry,but that's really cold.

One thing to be pro-choice, another to treat a fetus, which is not an inanimate object even if it is not a baby, as a pawn to prove a political point.

A fetus is a human in a pre-birth stage of development, and like any organism deserves a certain amount of respect, even if you intend to kill it anyways.

I am pro-choice. I struggle ethically with abortion. I recognize it isn't fair and is a denial of her rights to make a woman carry a fetus to term if she is opposed. Yet a fetus is and is best described as a human organism, in a pre-natal stage, and just because I can't confer the rights I would wish to confer to that organism without denying a woman's rights, doesn't mean I approve of it being treated with such casual disregard.

How much has she made?

I really don't think so. Do you feel cold killing insects?

Donation doesn't start until the 7th, I believe.

I don't think insects/humans are in the same category?

You're a very special kind of person if you condone this type of manipulative travesty,

Who says she is even pregnant? Who says she would even put that money in a trust fund and not take it for herself?

There are plenty of reasons not to donate to this and still be against pro-choice.

Yeah well fetuses are not really human. Insects might be exaggerated. But we eat good innocent animals all the time. I certainly feel that is more immoral than some thing that probably doesn't feel anything anyway.

She's a total piece of shit.

You have a point.I won't argue the any further.

I hope she's exposed soon.

I don't condone anything. It's not my business. I just made an observation.

Uh huh.

So...in your opinion, it's not "pro-life" unless they manage to save EVERY fetus?

Dude, you can't save every fetus. Some people are just plain gonna abort their fetuses. Therefore, if you're gonna give away your money to help kids, you're helping far more by giving that money to mothers who didn't need a $1 million incentive just to not get an abortion.

Or let's put it this way: this one million dollars saves ONE child. Whereas that same $1 million could help LOTS of children whose parents aren't using the threat of abortion in order to guilt trip people out of a million dollars.

While I agree that the right mostly just cares about moral rules when it comes to abortion, no halfway intelligent person is going to fall for this scam, so you can hardly blame conservatives for not donating. By not donating, they are simply acting like sane, rational people.

Either human life is sacred or it isn't. If one is using the sanctity of life argument, you have to be consistent because there can be no compromises when it comes to sanctity.

Yeah, you would have to be an idiot to donate, the kind of idiot who thinks they can tell a woman what to do with her body, but that is besides the point. My comment is only meant to point out the hypocrisy of a pro-life individual wishing that someone was aborted, if this readingrainbow fellow is even pro-life, of which I have no idea. Just an observation. Don't read too deeply into it.

I don't know what you're babbling on about with "EVERY fetus" stuff, but purposely not doing anything to save THIS fetus is not very pro-life.

Eh, I'm definitely pro-choice but even I find her reasons for abortion a bit silly. Imagine if she did get a million dollars and have the kid, how will she be able to explain to her kid later in their life that she was simply "proving a point" which was why she held their life as a ransom? If you want to abort, just do it...

None so far. Donations open on the 7th.

She says she will return it. Highly doubtful though.

Seems like a crazy bitch trying to a prove a point that works in her favor in both ways.

What do you mean?

She's putting the kid up for adoption.

That's a really stupid standard, dude. It's like watching a doctor save the lives of 20 people, and then telling him that he's not pro-saving-people because during that time he didn't save one dude over in Ethiopia.

Not really.

Pro-choice>>>>>>Pro-life

If it were to be born, what is she going to name this million dollar baby?

What is stupid is bringing up other fetuses when we're not talking about other fetuses, and your analogy is absurd. Obviously a doctor cannot do two things at once, but a self-proclaimed "pro-life" individual certainly could donate a penny at any time. If you're going to make arguments, at least make sure they make sense, especially when you start throwing around terms like "stupid".

@GreySeal9: Totally agree - am 100% pro choice too but this 'crowd funding' to 'keep' a baby is a bit strange...

Wow, i am shocked ! Its like murder ? Ain't it ? Like she's holding her child hostage for ransom ? How can this be allowed ?

@lonebullet: cha-ching

I agree, but it's possible to be pro choice without being flippant about the issue.

Oh, so now they're not pro-life unless they donate ALL of their money? Donate a million bucks to the cause, and you're still not pro-life because you've got $5000 in the bank for other expenses?

I could literally copy and past the my above reply to the previous question and it would fit equally well to your two idiotic questions.

Truly disgusting.

Which still wouldn't change the fact that THE ENTIRE POINT of this action is to paint conservatives out as not being pro-life simply because they don't save this ONE fetus. That necessary implies that pro-lifers aren't actually pro-life so long as there exists one single fetus anywhere in the world that wasn't saved through monetary donations. That's an intellectually dishonest position to take, and it's transparently intellectually dishonest if for no other reason than it's an impossible fucking standard. And only a real piece of shit would lower the debate to those sort of depths just in an attempt to demonize the other side.

Yes, their refusal to donate just one penny will do quite a good job of painting themselves as hypocrites.

Do you even know how many childless couples there is in the US who would kill to have a child but cant produce one themselves? So even tho i am pro-choice, i can see where the more level-headed pro-life comes from. So sure adoption is a magic wand but if you do it proper, it can be hugely beneficial to all parties.

In regards to this female, she is a disgrace and she is only doing it to fill her own pocket.

Apparently this is a marketing campaign for a book.
