Her abortion is allegedly scheduled for July 10, but one anonymous mother is demanding that pro-lifers give her $1 million to keep her from killing her preborn baby through an abortion.
The woman, who says she will do her “best to remain anonymous in this process as what I aim to prove has nothing to do with me personally,” claims that pro-lifers don’t actually care about the life of a child. She writes:
“On July 7th I will start accepting donations on this page. I will accept donations for 72 hours, the same amount of time this state currently requires a woman to wait after a consultation with a doctor until she can have an abortion. If one million dollars is raised in those 72 hours then I’ll have the baby, give it up for adoption and every cent of that one million dollars will be put in a trust fund for the child, which he or she will have access to when they turn 21.
“I’ll keep none of the money for myself so if I am to be vilified in this process, it can’t be for that. If the one million dollar goal is not met by the end of those 72 hours, any and all donations received will be refunded and I will have an abortion that I have already scheduled for July 10th in my home state. Mathematically this means that every one of the 157 million Americans that identify as pro-life needs to donate less than one cent to stop this abortion.
“The backward direction this country is headed in terms of its treatment of women I feel is due in large part to the influence of the religious right disguised as the pro-life movement. The pro-life movement cares very little about saving lives and far more about controlling women by minimizing their choices in a wide variety of ways not the least of which is readily available reproductive health care.”
At face value it may sound like it’s not about the woman but the cause; however, other factors come into play that indicate it’s much more about her than she would like us to believe.
Pro-life blogger Jill Stanek calls it blackmail: “Pro-abort blackmail: Give me $1 million, or I’m having an abortion,” her headline reads.
The Stir says, “It’s like a political Kickstarter — or a ransom note, depending on where you stand on the issue of abortion.”
Indeed, some comments say she trying to hold pro-lifers hostage by saying they must prove it if they want a baby to live. If pro-lifers don’t give her $1 million, she will kill the baby. If she gets the money, she promises to have the baby and give him or her up for adoption, sending the $1 million with her child in the form of a trust fund. She calls it a baby, too, not a fetus, indicating she understands exactly what she’s doing: ransoming the life of her preborn child for self gain. Early human trafficking at it’s (un) finest, some might say.
Her demands leave other questions, though.
First, many accuse her of wanting the money for herself. She says nothing, at least yet, about accountability to show that they money is legally bound to go to her baby.
Second, this ransom is actually a prime money-making opportunity for the 26-year-old graduate student from either Missouri, South Dakota, Utah, or North Carolina – states that have 72-hour waiting period laws. Even if she legally sets up every penny to go to her baby, her personal income from the talk show and book circuit could skyrocket, which makes the ransom more opportunistic than the heartfelt political awareness plea she would like people to see.
The woman insists if she doesn’t raise the money in 72 hours, she will refund all the donations to the people who gave and she will keep her July 10 abortion appointment. What some may wonder is if she will take the media along for the appointment, or will she simply wait until she leaves to stop by the talk show circuit to make her statement?
Countless ways exist to bring awareness to the plight of the child who needs adopting as a solution to abortion, but pro-life blackmail and ransom demands are far more about self-promotion and gain than they are the care about any cause.
One can only hope that since she clearly understands she is carrying a human life, she will choose not to put her baby to death in some political statement she tried to use for publicity. Even animals get treated with more dignity than that.
Holding her own baby for ransom?
I think I’m going to throw up.
She’ll take the money and do it anyway. Lowlife!
Does the donation web-site include “isis” in the name? This person seems to have the same regard for decency and human kindness as that volunteer group.
Evil has been completely unleashed these past few weeks.
There's probably no baby.
This is extortion and pure evil.
It’s also a means of avoiding personal responsibility for the decision. She knows what she’s doing. Whether she can get strangers to ante up a million dollars to get her not to do it is entirely irrelevant.
“anonymous mother”
There is special place in hell for her.
Either way, that kid doesn’t have a chance.
If she is pregnant and gets her million and then does honor her pledge (oh wait, none of that is going to happen anyway is it?), I feel really sorry for that baby with this vampire for a mother.
What a twisted and sick argument, and entirely a lie. The direction this country is headed rests completely at the feet of liberals who have mandated that everything is permissable, unless it is conservative and/or Christian. This soon-to-be murderess continues to twist "reproductive health" into a free-for-all murder spree on unborn children. Her "reproductive health" is not in question nor is it in jeapordy. That of the unborn child, however, is.
The woman insists if she doesn’t raise the money in 72 hours, she will refund all the donations to the people who gave and she will keep her July 10 abortion appointment.
What some may wonder is... what will happen to the interest?
Interesting ramifications.
If a baby isn’t a baby, then the government doesn’t care.
If the baby IS a baby, then the mother is threatening murder and committing extortion.
This could lead to a court case defining the status of a baby in the womb.
The mother, however is the lowest piece of scum ever.
More evidence of the debauchery hole into which this country has fallen.
Thank God I’m 58 and my time is relatively short.
Ok if she will take 1 million, just to prove she is not just out for money, I offer her 1 dollar for the same premise.
Bullet.
This is totally sick, but that comes with the death of morality as I knew it growing up. I wonder if she could be criminally charged with blackmail and attempted murder?
And having everyone else pay for it.
She has never understood rights and their associated responsibilities.
We dont negotiate with terrorists, lady.
Pretty sure that if this is NOT a hoax it is likely illegal.
