NARAL is not happy that crowdfunding website GoFundMe has taken down a woman’s attempt to crowdfund her abortion and is prohibiting future attempts for people to use its service to raise money to kill their unborn children.
LifeNews.com broke the story last week about a woman named Bailey who was using the crowdfunding web site GoFundMe to raise money for her abortion. GoFundMe eventually made public a response to why it shut the attempt down.
baileyNow, one of the biggest pro-abortion groups in the country is upset and has started a lobbying campaign to get its members to pressure GoFundMe to bring back crowdunfunded abortions.
The NARAL petition reads:
GoFundMe is a popular online fundraising site where you can raise money for personal projects or issues you care about. Lots of people use it to help pay for expensive medical emergencies. But GoFundMe just announced a new policy that restricts people from raising money to help pay for an abortion.
You know what else GoFundMe restricts raising money for? Terrorism, violence, and drugs. That’s right, they consider abortion in the same category as terrorism and violence.
Abortion is standard medical care that one in three women needs. They don’t need stigma, shame, or judgment.
Sign our petition with our friends at UltraViolet to tell GoFundMe to take abortion off its list of banned content.
Tell GoFundMe Founders Brad Damphousse and Andy Ballester: Women seeking abortion shouldn’t be categorized alongside terrorists and criminals. Abortion is safe, legal, and standard medical care accessed by one in three American women. Remove abortion from your list of banned fundraisers.
LifeNews blogger Lauren Enriquez says Bailey should consider placing her baby for adoption, instead of pursuing an abortion.
“As an alternative, Bailey could consider carrying her baby to term (which would probably take another 17-20 weeks), and placing him or her with an adoptive family,” she said. “This option would generously provide for her medical and other needs before and after pregnancy, and ensure that her child retains his or her own right to grow up to “support her friends in prison,” “drink Rockstar,” and “see a show or two.”
ACTION: Thank GoFundMe for stopping crowdfunding of abortions at http://www.gofundme.com/mvc.php?route=contact/suggest
I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!
Will pedophiles be able to “crowd-fund” their trips to Cambodia next? Mixed-up people fund their “sex change” operations? ISIS their recruiting under a nom de guerre?
What is this, Kickstarter for infanticide?
I can see the sex change one happening.
Yeah, so do I.
I bet most of these "people" would support restricting a construction project because of "harm" to some insect and it's way of life but have no problem destroying a human fetus. I bet these same people believe that bacteria on another planet or moon means "life" but a human fetus is just a bunch of cells, a parasite even.
There could also be competitive crowd-funded efforts to pay women to put their children up for adoption instead.
I’d rather see abortion crowd sourced than government sourced. (That doesn’t mean I am for abortion)
Let the people that support it pay for it. Don’t force me through taxes to commit what I believe to be murder.
The left is good about spending other people’s money. Let them fund the programs they want. It is time they put their money where their mouth is.
Ping
Sick.
Imagine being so corrupt and useless that you want to beg strangers to pay for the operation to kill your own child?
A human being can’t sink any lower than that. If you find yourself doing the above, you pretty much are lower than dog crap.
The good news is, you can only go up from that point.
But, if abortion coverage is available, women who receive federal subsidies for their insurance premiums must pay a supplemental fee, from their own pockets, for abortion coverage.
It gets even more complicated for women who qualify for Medicaid under ObamaCare.
By definition, those women don't have enough money to pay health insurance premiums, so they can't afford abortion coverage, either.
About 20 states provide state funds for Medicaid abortions.
I'll speculate that the woman in the article is on Medicaid in one of the 30 states that do not provide funding.
think then all rightward causes should be able to as well.
like funding for my first gun.
like funding for my ccw permit.
like funding for vigils outside abortion butcher mills.
cant be biased.
I am sick of stupid made up words like crowdfund
We are already paying for the slut’s abortion through 0’Care. After all, it’s supposed to be free.
Public humiliation would be an option, sadly this type of sociopath that is making a spectacle of herself has no shame.
Crowdfund?
Is that the same as asking the lynch mob to buy the rope?
That one in three “needs”? Good Lord, return soon.
