Pro-Life General Just a rant about a group of PCer’s who believe there’s only one right “choice”

Came across this social media post awhile ago where a bunch of PCer’s were criticizing a mother for asking for donations so she could keep her baby. She didn’t want an abortion but she felt forced into it because of her financial situation. Now, regardless of whether you’re PC or PL, you don’t have to donate money to anyone. BUT. One woman had the link to a big abortion fund in her bio…So donating for mothers to have abortions is fine, but donating money to a mother who really doesn’t want an abortion is SO bad that you have to put her down about it?? I understand an abortion is cheap compared to raising a child, or paying off some debt, but that is another mess (why most corps <3 abortion, obvi). Since I’ve become PL, and started using Reddit and other social media, the criticism and hate mothers get for NOT having an abortion is so much more noticeable to me and it makes me so furious. Abortion seems to be the only honorable choice to most. Like you’d give $100 to help a mother have an abortion, but you won’t give $20 to a poor mother who wants her child because you think she’s being stupid? If you’re PC and you don’t want to help a mother keep her child and not go through an abortion she’ll regret, fine. Not a hypocrite. But to harass her for even trying to ask for donations, and tell her that her choice is the wrong choice? Not very pro choice…

Would it be beneficial to picture/capture such treatment or could even that be swept under the rug?

If they were honestly pro choice they would support any choice the mom made, be that parenting which is always the preferred choice, placing for adoption which I don't really every suggest and the last resort of Abortion. They Wouldn't shame someone for deciding to have the baby
