Pregnancy HOAX


"By Sunday night, when "April's Mom" claimed to have given birth to her "miracle baby" -- blogging that April Rose had survived a home birth only to die hours later -- her Web site had nearly a million hits.

There was only one problem with the unfolding tragedy: None of it was true.

Not the pregnancy, and not the photos posted on the blog of the supposed mother and Baby April Rose, swaddled in white blankets. The baby was actually a lifelike doll, which immediately raised the suspicion of loyal blog-followers.

"I have that exact doll in my house," said Elizabeth Russell, a dollmaker from Buffalo who had been following the blog. "As soon as I saw that picture, I knew it was a scam."

Nice. The comments were even more enlightening. Apparently she's not even a social worker as the article claims.

If so many people did not glorify pregnancy and moo-hood, this never would have happened.

I know...she is an artist! There are a bunch of articles about this now, but I was too lazy to post more, lol!

She is just a fraud, plain and simple. She was preying on people that have suffered and have experienced a real loss. What a dumb bitch.

So long as she did not solicit money, she had a credible argument that she was creating a modern art "piece" in some sense. The second she asked for money, she crossed the line into fraud.

But I'm rather tickled pink that this has happened. People apparently wanted to rally around this "brave" anti-abortion message, and they got screwed over it. Please please please let this be another step in the demolition of the rabid "all-babies-deserve-to-live" pro-life camp!
