Without any further confirmation, I'm guessing this was a joke.

As an abortion opponent, I agree abortion is detestable and that some of the things abortion advocates may do to rally support for abortion can be just as disgusting. However, we must use common sense, especially when we read things on the internet. Not everything we see or read in cyberspace is real. Sometimes they are jokes, albeit terrible ones, but still jokes. Hearing about a GoFundMe account someone started to pay for an abortion didn't surprise me. The link given on this article is now broken, because apparently the campaign was ended, so I can't see what it actually said myself. But if the description of the campaign on this article did exist, and I do believe it did because a lot of people are just sick like that, I have no choice but to call B.S. on the campaign. It sounds like either a gross joke played by abortion advocates or an attempt by fellow abortion opponents to draw attention to abortion in a deceitful manner. Yes, we want to expose abortion for what it is, but lying to get to that point is not really a smart option.

LifeNews.com (a site I love and go to often, don't get me wrong) appears to have fallen for the joke. They say that the website for the campaign claimed they were raising funds for a friend who was unexpectedly pregnant and needed to get rid of her fetus. At first, it sounds convincing. They list reasons like how she is broke, scared, and doesn't have a job. Typical reasons pro-aborts give to excuse abortion. Then the reasons start to sound more and more selfish. She has "no desire to raise a child". Another excuse I have heard many times. They claim that sex is not consent for a parasitic fetus to use their bodies and force them to be parents when they don't want to be. Okay. But then we come to other reasons like she can't afford a baby because she needs money for cigarettes and alcohol and going to rock concerts. That's the moment where it hit me...

...I think someone created that campaign to gain attention. Sure, I know there are really some wackos out there who would get an abortion so they can party on, but one of the main goals of the abortion rights movement is make abortion sound necessary, beneficial, and unselfish. This does just the opposite. If by some chance this campaign WAS serious, they would actually be hurting their cause. It would give more credibility to our claim, as pro-lifers, that abortion is done for selfish reasons. I'm not sure if I believe a pro-abort would drive a nail in the coffin of their own cause that way. They are misled and in denial, yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are dumb. In fact, they are known for their sneakiness and clever wordplay. The campaign sounds fake. I don't know this for sure, but it is my guess. It sounds like it was created by someone who is anti-abortion and is going to extreme lengths to prove a point. But here is some advice... we should not lie to prove any points. Lies are what fuels the pro-abortion cause. We are not to follow suit. We are to expose the truth. Making up stories destroys our credibility and gets us nowhere.

Of course, if this campaign was true (and it might be despite my suspicions. I'm not claiming to know the whole truth on this), it's a sign to Christ-followers that the people who created it, particularly the woman seeking abortion, needs serious prayer.

Oh no! The Duggars are influencing people to have big families!

For those of you who also follow pro-life news... is it just me, or does it seem like abortion advocates are running scared because of the Duggar family? Is all of the criticism and mockery really just for kicks and giggles? If so, wouldn't seeing more families follow suit be doing them a favor since it would add to their entertainment? After all, having a large family would be my personal CHOICE, right? I'm strongly considering throwing my hat in that ring! I'm looking forward to one day having babies.

But seriously, the amount of attention they have been paying to the Duggar family almost seems to border on obsession. Look at all of the closely-scheduled publicity they are getting from just ONE pro-abortion news outlet, Crushable:

June 21, 2014: They mad fun of Jill Duggar and husband Derick Dillard for waiting until their wedding day for their first kiss.

June 22, 2014: They decide to comment on Jill's wedding dress. I give them credit for actually complimenting the beautiful bride (if that compliment was even genuine), but then they make fun of the wedding dress choices of other members of the Duggar family.

June 24, 2014: They say farewell to childless Jill and an unwelcomed hello to a married woman who wants to become a mother.

June 25: 2014: They use their dirty minds to twist something Jill said about Derick's trumpet-playing skills contributing to the fact that he's a good kisser. I don't know if trumpet-playing has anything to do with being good at kissing, but if it doesn't, big deal. How do these pro-aborts know that Jill wasn't just making a little joke? And to turn what she said into, "Her Husband Blows Her Like a Trumpet"... that's seriously perverted.

Then there is a 2-month interlude between posts about Jill Duggar while the abortion advocates begin attacking Jessa Duggar. And alas, by mid-August, the fun with Jill Duggar begins again!

August 20, 2014: Making fun of Jill getting pregnant eight weeks after her wedding. Ummm... so what? They're married.

September 3, 2014: Abortion advocates gag themselves because Jill and Derick announced their pregnancy shortly after learning they were pregnant and because they added a pro-life message to their announcement. It was Jill and Derick's CHOICE to do all of these things the way they did, but you didn't actually think they were really for choice, right?

Call me quick to jump to conclusions, but behind all of the hilarity, I smell fear. Fear that the idea of larger families may once again be embraced by some couples in our society. Fear that more pro-life children will be raised to fight against their precious Roe v. Wade. Fear that abortion is in the beginning stages of aborting itself.
