Pointer Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) I ran across this little nugget of craziness this morning: http://www.prolifeantiwoman.com/ Some of the press articles: http://chicksontheright.com/blog/item/29683-disgusting-woman-asks-pro-lifers-to-give-1-million-to-stop-her-from-having-an-abortion http://www.religionnews.com/2015/06/30/fetus-ransom-woman-asks-1-million-shell-abort/ Personally I think this is pretty .... sick, and misguided in terms of what she's trying to accomplish. Still, part of me wants to see the $1 million raised just to put this lady in her place, and create a child who understands what his or her biological "mother" did to them before they were even born. Discuss. UPDATE Aug 6 Turns out this was just a marketing stunt. Edited August 6, 2015 by Pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zabby Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Hahaha, Chad your topic title is so misleading. I'm here thinking, "How is 1 million dollars going to change the supreme court's ruling on Roe v. Wade?" But really you mean women asks for $1 million to stop her abortion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointer Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 They should raise the money and then give it to the child. According to the woman's website, she is placing the money in an account for the child to access when he or she is 21 years old. So, kinda doing that.

Chris-M Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) How many causes of any kind can logistically raise $1 million in 72 hours? I'm genuinely curious. Edited July 2, 2015 by Chris-M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zabby Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 How many causes of any kind can logistically raise $1 million in 72 hours? I'm genuinely curious. Highly anticipated video game kickstarters tend to raise over 1 mill in 72 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-M Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) I wonder how much money I could make if I tried a similar trick with baby seals and animal rights organizations. The hard bit would be to find a country where animal cruelty is legal. Retiring young would be nice <<...

PrayLoveEat Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I can only imagine how the child will feel when it grows up and learns about all of this :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-M Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) This seems important to some extent. If you all believe in pro-life ideology as much as you say you do, shouldn't you do anything you can to protect a childs life? There only two things that make this any different than contributing to any reputable charity: 1) It is not reputable and, 2) it consists of cruel political theater. My guess and hope is that the actual child is fake, but if there's really a kid who's going to be born in the middle of all this, then the mother really is a [removed]. It's sick to make a non-consenting kid a tool in your political propaganda when that game might have life long consequences. I hope she gets the money, but to treat this as though it has any legitimacy is silly.

She said she plans to put the money in a trust fund for the child. Undoubtedly this is still evil, but not necessarily greedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undoubtedly this is still evil, but not necessarily greedy. Yes but how is this not greed? Shes evil enough to start something like this and once she recieves the money she can do whatever she likes with it. She could say shes donating it to africans but once the money is given to her she can do whatever she likes with it. And trying to profit for something that is morally right? Wouldnt that be considered greed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
