Hoax! Couple behind Birth or Not abortion voting website are internet fraudsters
Daily Mail ^ | 11/23/10 | Daily Mail Reporter

The Minneapolis couple behind the website birthornot.com have been revealed as internet fraudsters.

Pete and Alisha Arnold, both 30, set up a website claiming they were torn about aborting or keeping their healthy baby boy and asked the public to vote online and help them decide.

But the alternative weekly City Pages revealed Pete is a pro-life activist who posts his beliefs on the internet under the alias Zeeboid.

I’m a 30 year old man, sir. I spend more time fighting for gun and property rights than protesting abortion clinics. I give those folks all the credit in the world, but I do not spend much time on roadsides waving signs.

It is dishonest for someone to do what you say they are doing, and I, of course, would not support it, but what should I do in order to protest this? I’m not in the business of shouting down women.

I think we are both on the same page in this matter.

No we're not.

I think all of these 'hoaxes' are clever and advance the prolife cause. Including the one referenced in the original article.

So you’re asserting that these two hucksters were actually pro-life adherents trying to make a point? Is there anything in the media that shows that?

I don’t know for certain that it was hoax. I’m just going by the information in this article and others.

The very title of this thread is “Hoax! Couple behind Birth or Not abortion voting website are internet fraudsters.”

Is that insufficient evidence for you?

My point doesn’t depend on whether or not it’s a hoax.

What this couple did, and what the young lady did by hoaxing PP, is advance the pro-life cause.

They do so by confronting people on a very personal level just what abortion really is. Both excercises illustrate that’s it’s far more than a ‘womans right to chose’, as the pro-choice crowd would have everyone believe.

It was discussed on BOR tonight, it looks like it may not be hoax.
