nayrt

They could have not lied even if they didn't want to tell the truth. What do you recommend? "I need money, but I can't say why. Here's my PayPal"?

We don't know OP's situation. You can't say for certain that it was not the only option at the time.

Yeah, pretty much! Still better than outright lying.

No, there was no reason she had to lie. There is no way to tell me she couldn't have been vague enough to not get grief about it and she had to lie and say it was for her computer.

It's like saying I need money for my computer, then going to spend it on alcohol. It's my right to drink alcohol, it's not my right to expect other people to pay for it, particularly under false pretenses.

An abortion is not alcohol. A woman's right to have autonomy of her body and not be forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term is not the same as a persons right to drink. You know that. You know exactly why that comparison is bullshit. You're just trying to be inflammatory.

Nope, both deal with the person's right to do what they want with their body. Both are legal rights, but potentially controversial.

It's a more apt comparison than you would like, but it fits.

There would be absolutely nothing wrong with that, because it contains no deception. If people then discover the money was used for something they wouldn't have given money for, that's their damn fault.

But people who donate to anything should be able to assume the money will goto the cause they intended to donate to. Once Op decided to fabricate a story, she did something wrong. What she said the money was for and what it was actually used for are irrelevant. If the former and the latter aren't the same thing and you always knew that's how it would go, you are a liar.

Hey, you're a cis man, right? You can't get pregnant and will thus never, ever be in the situation the OP was in, of needing an abortion and not having the funds for it and being desperate enough to lie in order to get the funds?

In that case - SHUT THE FUCK UP.

fwiw, I'm a woman who has had an abortion in the past and I agree with him. It's not cool to deceive your friends like that, even if you do have a good reason
