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.
That’s what happens when you artificially depress interest rates to try to keep your economy from collapsing.
I would help pay for a hysterectomy. Or better yet - services from Dr. Kavorkian.
Sick.
all too symptomatic of today’s victim mentality society.
Holding her own unborn child for ransom. This world is sick.
A person this craven can not be trusted to do anything she claims she would do. She has no honor.
Never pay ransom. It only encourages more demands for ransom.
“Evil has been completely unleashed these past few weeks.”
You are SO right. This country is lost.
This would make a great National Lampoon Magazine Cover.
Sounds like ISIS.
Would she take $50 to get herself sterilized or did I find a sexual adventure she won’t do for $50?
I was going to ask her to explain herself but I will just send an email to John Roberts.
Pay the money into a trust fund for the child, and only the child. Make the interest payable to pro-life causes.
Ensure the child is aware of everthing.
Run with the case in a PR campaign. Who is not sickened by this evil.
Jesus helped me with my guilt and the likes of this idiot isnt gonna make me loose any sleep.
If she wants help, shelter, food? I will be there for anyone who asks me.
If she wants me to help her murder her unborn child or trys to extort money from me so she wont commit the horrendous act? I will stand there and watch her bleed out.
I dont negotiate with terrorists.
Darwin at work!
“She’ll take the money and do it anyway,”
My first thought as well.
Soounds like a sick con game to me.
You beat me to it ;-)
What a ******* *****! The moral burden is on her! not on “pro-lifers”. They care, but are not obligated to give the money to her.
This is the true face of a feminazi.
If she takes the money and kills the baby anyway, she’ll be promoted as a courageous person and can keep the money.
If she takes the money and doesn’t kill the baby she’ll be prosecuted for fraud.
That is where this country has descended to.
THAT’S ONE SICK BITCH!
