Oh. My. God. This one takes the cake for sheer audacity and outrageousness.

Here's a snippet:

"It comes down to this. If we can't raise the $50,000 in the next 3 months, we'll have to choose abortion. We don't like it, and we don't like the nature of our appeal, but it is what it is. We're asking you to donate money to us using the link to your left. Anything you can give would be appreciated."

are you kidding me???? this pisses me off to no end... there are SO many women who cannot have kids and would do ANYTHING to have one, and this poor excuse for a woman can have kids and she wants to abort?

Oh my goodness, Please tell me this is just a scam for money & attention. The whole idea of send us money or we'll abort our kid is rediculous. I'm sorry but I rather they not go through with the pregnancy (Ducking) Obviously It would be nice if they put the child up for adoption, but they wont. What a sad situation for a child to brought into. Why can't they do what MOST EVERYONE else does work & save money? They want instant gratification. Ugh..

In ten days they've already racked up 12500. What a scam.

I am utterly horrified. There are so many options open to them yet they effectively choose to auction a life using emotional blackmail.

How/where did you find that? Is this going around via email or something?

I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more publicity... I think I found it via someone else's blog.

I just hope we are not helping them by making this a thread.

My DH said that he heard that they are being investigated for fraud. I think it's a huge scam!

Why would it?... not like any of us are going to donate or recommend our friends to donate.

Paypal has suspended their account, so they are unable to receive more money through that means.

I know... I was thinking that maybe this is just a prank pulled by some college kids or something, to garner outrage.
