See, when I read the article, then read this thread, the vibe I get isn't "she has the right to choose, but it was wrong" (save for the one response that literally says this). I think the reason for this reaction isn't because she chose not to abort, but because of the situation in its entirety. Perhaps if she refused to abort because she had genuine strong ethics concerning pregnancy, she wouldn't be getting as much venom; however,
she demanded $15,000 for termination, and when she couldn't get it, said she "changed her mind anyway." Then, after moving to a state where she would be recognized as the guardian, she gave the baby up for adoption since she was single and already had children of her own.
I don't think it's her refusal to abort that's making people in this thread angry; it's the fact that it comes off like she either a) made the choice in complete ignorance without any preparation for this child, or b) she made the choice motivated by greed. It's not because she's pro-life, it's because she comes off as a crappy person. It says something when quite a few Yahoo! commenters are catching on to it, though that hasn't stopped some pro-lifers from excusing her behavior as "tempted by money and having a moment of weakness, but stuck by her ethics." Someone also asked if she still demanded the initial $22,000 for carrying the pregnancy to term.
And now, I leave you with this pro-life comment:
Just because someone's body has organs out of place does NOT mean that they won't continue to work just fine right where they are.
Yeah, let's just ignore all the other problems she has.
