Well, it looks like [Snopes](http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/hoaxes/helpmybabylive.asp) is coming down solidly on the side of hoax. They seem to have tracked the guy who owned the PayPal account to a Pro-life blog.

I went ahead and broke the link in the OP. Anyone who wants to see aborted fetus pictures can copy and paste.

Thank you. I don’t know when they did that, the Snopes outing first happened at least a week ago, and PayPal kicked them out but they were looking at finding “another way” to accept donations.

This evening was the first I’d read about the aborted fetus pix.

Yeah, I think it was a fairly recent change. I knew those weren’t there when you posted the link.
