"But a blogger who lives in suburban Chicago figured out that by keeping her name anonymous, by simply referring to herself as "B" or "April's Mom," she could engage readers--thousands of them--with a major lie. "B" created a blog about being pregnant with a terminally ill child.

Anti-abortion opponents closely followed the blog because "B" decided that she would have the child even though it would likely die days or months after birth. "People said they prayed that God would save her pregnancy," according to a story in the Chicago Tribune. "They e-mailed her photos of their children dressed in pink, bought campaign T-shirts, shared tales of personal heartache and redemption, and sent letters and gifts to an Oak Lawn P.O. box in support. As more and more people were drawn to her compelling tale, eager advertisers were lining up. And established parenting Web sites that oppose abortion were promoting her blog--which included biblical quotes, anti-abortion messages and a soundtrack of inspirational Christian pop songs."

When "B" posted a story about giving birth to baby April, the site lit up with nearly a million hits.

A few days later, "April's Mom" posted a photograph of herself with a lifelike doll swaddled in white blankets--that was meant to be April. Readers became suspicious."

8. They're not really anti-choice, by the way...

They just want people (who can't afford the elitist workarounds) to "choose" the back alleys -- out of sight, out of public view...just like it was in the "good ole' days."
