(Anonymous) 2012-04-11 02:44 am (UTC)(link)We can guess that people would still donate towards an abortion, but we don't know that.
We do know that there's a (good) chance that asking for donations for an abortion would have resulted in online harassment that may have escalated into real life harassment (has happened in fandoms for way less - happened recently over shipping wars). Also, it might have ended up getting a shit ton of attention if it had gone viral (abortion is a hot enough topic that while unlikely, it might have happened) which may have allowed the OP to get her abortion or may have resulted in even more real life harassment perhaps even getting in the way of getting her abortion.
We weren't there with the OP when she made her choice. We don't know what her options were. I think the lie was the lesser or two evils if the other option was being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term.

Anyway, I understand what you are saying: we DON'T know the position the OP was in. But all this secret directly states is that she needed the money, and lied to get it. She could have felt the need to lie for any number of reasons. But it doesn't change the fact that she completely took advantage of the kindness of her friends/followers. Deceiving people who trust you is a shitty thing to do, regardless of your reasons.
