Go look at that site. Many of you will undoubtedly come back and rant about how it's a big anti-abortion or pro-choice scam (depending on how you look at it).

I actually am not exactly sure WHAT to think, but I think that no matter whether it's legit or not, it's a ****ing sick website. It's manipulative and wrong to even pretend to hold an unborn baby's life for $50,000 ransom.

They claim that: "We're both from pretty good stock, well educated and intelligent." Yeah?! GET A ****ING JOB, some morals and welcome to LIFE.


Thoughts?

I think this is funny, because I don't think it's real. It's not so much about abortion as much as it's about convincing people on the internet to give them mney, and using a controversial topic to get the attention.

[Mellyrose]

It is a brilliant scam, because whether or not it is real, you've got the radical pro-lifers who will give even just a few dollars in the hopes that if it IS real, they might be helping save the baby. I just think it's horrible to use such a front to rip people off.

[PhilDernerJr]

It takes money from the stupid. Who cares. I wish I thought of it first.

I can't believe I'm sitting in the same room as you right now.

LOL, I bet you IM eachother also while in the same room.

Let them abort the baby, keep your money......

Damn sickos....

I can't believe I'm sitting in the same room as you right now.

Neither can I. Do you also talk to each other over AIM while in the same room?

And to stay on topic, I do believe this is a scam. Even if it isn't, I dont see how money can be the deciding factor on wanting a child or not. Yes, I know it is extremely important, but come on. There are things in life more important than money.

Have you read some of the emails?

The terms for donating are even better. You can't try to find out any information about them, or you owe them $25,000. I'm sure people are stupid enough to fall for that too.

How dare you think you can ask for money to raise your kid! Are you going
to send me money to help me raise mine? Why not ask the state..go on
welfare. You made your baby, YOU take care of it!

while this one reminds me of spellman and his typing skills:

To clarify....Phil and I always post from the same room. I meant that I was disgusted by his response and couldn't believe I was voluntarily sharing the same air ;)

[alexg32]

If you go back to the site, they admit it was fake. They made the background pictures of dead babies, so it's not safe for work.

Damn Phil! Mel controls the air as well, talk about being whipped

Last night I laughed at a TV show and ended up using 13 more breaths than I'm allowed. At midnight came closer, I was not allowed to breath for the last 50 second of the day. That was a close one!
