There's this new thing where you buy positive pregnancy tests on Craigslist then trick your BF into giving you money for a fake abortion.

Yoda, you know that saying something like, "The more I know people, the more I like my dog?" Well yeah, that's me only with my cats. Nothing... absolutely nothing surprises me anymore. The world is full of insane sheep.

What kind of world do we live in ? What tw*t thought of that ? Anyone who, would even go there . How do they look in the mirror, at themselves ? Beyond comprehension, the whole process.
Thanks for this!

That is terrible. Then again, people are desperate for money. Doesn't make this any less wrong though. Especially in a society where women really have to make that decision, which is never easy. It's like making a joke out of it. Eugh.

At first glance, it may sound like something a woman might plot, but the mastermind could just as well have been a man - now no man has to believe a pregnancy test, and can shirk any responsibility.

Good grief--I can see the solution to that. Kits for DNA of the baby....Don't ask me yet how the researchers can come up with a home test for that, but I have already seen advertised a kit where people can check certain parts of their DNA to see what ailments they might be prone to.

I find that fake pregnancy test really mean.
Thanks for this!

See that is the benefit of free health care here in Canada. Abortions don't cost anything so we can't pull that crap on a mate.

Goodness... how desperate a girl must be to fake pregnancy...

Yes, it's sickening... and infinitely sad.

Wow I no longer feel left out because I'm single, that's a pretty heavy duty low blow, who am I kidding though I couldn't get women if I tried because I don't have a job. So this abortion trick wouldn't work on me anyways, people are so materialistic I bet they waste it all on shopping sprees buying designer clothes at the mall?

I saw that on the news; don't know how it would work (wouldn't on me if I were a guy); they were saying it could get the guy to propose/marry you too but I'd just wait a bit. . .

I think the whole exposure of the scheme will not go well for those trying to sell them. All I'd do is buy a pregnancy kit and have the woman retake it. If she balked at all or got "offended" I wouldn't believe her right then for that. My money, my prenancy test :-)

That's sad, and shocking. Craigslist is started to become a real site for creeps, not what it was intended for.
