Having a baby is a personal choice. Is it fair to expect strangers to pay for it?

That is very judgemental.

They can do this if they wish; and others can give or not as they wish.

People crowdfund for worse things.

They can ask for donations, just like anybody else, for any cause. The giving of your personal funds, are totally optional.

Nobody is forced to give, people who choose to will.
