Clearly if you have to ask the general public, then yes, you should have an abortion.
If you can not be responsible to make up your own mind, then by default, you would make horrible parents.
Have an abortion as your child will be better off not being born than to have you as a parent.

Regardless of what people tell you about regrets. Dont have any for the decisions you make for yourself. Be confident and stand behind them and take responsibility for the outcome of your situation. Accept the personal growth you will learn from this. It is God who will judge you on Judgement day so whatever everyone else says in their comments they face the same judgement with God as well. Don't let what they say affect what is right for you.

First of all you both are very low life. Maybe you need to google abortion and see just what happens. OR better yet...watch one in real life...Then watch that baby twitch until its death. I wish the doctors would stick a needle in the back of your spine and suck your brains out. Maybe that would solve this whole problem. Or maybe they should shoot acid on you so you will burn to death, the way they do with abortion and saline. I think you should be locked in a room with three crying babys that you can not get to for hours on end...TO represent the three children who you have given/taken life from. Maybe theres a reason you cant carry full term?? Maybe your not ment to be parents. Maybe you should have yourselfs niped and burned so you cant make this mistake again.
Then maybe you should drive off a clift. I hope it screws you up and you dont die. You need a long painful death. Maybe then you can see what you are about to do to this precious gift.

On behalf of my 11th grade, 4th period English class, We would like to collectivly say that even the possibility of this type of poll existing says that our country's values and morals are misdirected at best. To allow complete strangers to even have a hint of a say-so in such a major personal decision says that the seriousness with which you view life in general is pathetic.....

My mother gave birth to twin girls who died at birth. Her doctor warned that she and the child would both die if she attempted to have another child. He advised a proceedure, which would prevent conception again. After some time she was pregnant, and he told mom and dad that if they chose not to abort both mom and the child would die. My mom did die, but it was 50 years after the child was born, and after 73 years I, the child who was to die at birth, am still well. Please read Psalm 139 before you make the decision.

@Cassi- you don't see what anywhere? I don't see anywhere that they are saying if the poll is for abortion, we will kill the baby. Rather, I see statements like 'for the first time, your voice on the topic of abortion can make a difference.' People even considering abortion don't use words like child or baby. They, in order to go through with such a grotesque act as legalized murder, use words like fetus or potential human. Just by reading about the heart rate tells me all I need to know about what they will do.
For being 16 weeks the fetus is fully developed into a baby. My doctor told me years ago when i was pregnant that all the organs are formed in the 1st trimester. I personally dont think it would be adviseable to have a abortion so far into 1st trimester. You are a full grown adult who has been married for 10 years, and I personally think that this is a excellent way to get peoples attention to a very controversial issue over Roe Vs Wade. Im not a full Pro life supporter, nor am i a fully against abortion. I do strongly believe in a woman s right to choose just as it is the mans responsibility to be involved with the decision too. I would rather see people stand true to themselves and what they believe what is right and not be judged for the outcome of what is going to occur with their decision. Good Luck with your decision. Perhaps if the 2 of you dont believe in birth control, why would that matter if you did use it? There is devine intervention happening all the time from women regenerating their tubes after having them tied and men having vasectomies that sometimes there is a 3rd tube as my suprise pregnancy with my youngest son back in 2002. Just Take care of yourselves and have a happy life together with your wife If that is what you both want.

If you have to poll the internet to determine if you want to abort or give birth, you should definitely abort. Going to the internet, which is filled with such abysmal idiots and trolls, just shows you are obviously cut from the same cloth and would be giving birth to the same. Do what you think is right. Don't put the decision into someone elses hands. Man up and make a decision yourself because now if you regret the decision you'll just blame the internet when it will still be entirely your fault. You deserve to be trolled by 4chan which is the worst thing I could ever wish upon anyone.

Are you serious? You have been given a 3RD CHANCE to have your own child and you want to know if the public thinks you should keep him or not. You are so lucky that you can actually choose... I had my first child after 5 years of trying, which was heart breaking and my friend had hers after 7 years of trying. We both have healthy boys and life has changed for the better. Being parents is the best feeling in the world and I seriously can't believe you are actually thinking of aborting him.... After all the pictures you have of him, I don't think you'll be able to forgive yourselves if you go ahead with aborting but thats just my opinion..... The final decision can only be yours and if you do decide to keep him, make sure he doesn't find out about this stupid website because this will crush him....

Why punish your unborn child because you are not ready? Is it the child's fault?
No, it's not. He/she didnt make the decision, you were the one's that created him/her/.
You dont have to live up to being the perfect parents because there are no such things. There are plenty of mums and dads out there that have jobs and the life they had before but with the added joy that they now share it with someone else.
Why not think about giving the baby up for adoption? There are thousands of couples worldwide who would give up their life savings, homes, jobs just to have a child.
Whatever your decision is, this is not the way to do it over the internet. If you have the child, how are you going to tell him/her later in life about this?

After years of sexual assaults during my childhood, I was forced to have and abortion about the age of 12. I am now 52 and still feel the pain of not only the violence that was done to me, but also the violence that I was forced to be a part of. Please consider the lifelong pain that you may face if you should decide to destroy the life of your child. The reality sets in after the act is finished and cannot be undone. I have gone through much healing and have written a book on healing from abuse and trauma, Flame of Healing. Abortion trauma is real. Please give life to this child and if parenting is too much for you just now, release him to life abundant with parents who are ready to parent a child. It would be a far more compassionate choice for both you and this dear little boy. I am willing to talk with you and offer love and encouragement.

Please do not abort your baby! If you don't want to be parents put him or her up for adoption but PLEASE don't kill this child. Give him or her a chance. At the moment he or she does not have a voice to speak with but he or she is a living human being. Please think about what this child might say to you if she or he could speak. Give this child a chance to speak one day and make his or her own decisions.
All life is precious and all children are gifts from God.Think about how you would feel if this poll was about whether your life should have been ended before you were born. I'm sure there are many people out there praying for you and your baby that you make the right choice. I know you will both look inside yourselves and do what is right. Once you have the baby you may still want to have him or her adopted, or you may want to keep him or her. Give your child, and YOURSELVES, a chance to see whether you do feel that way once he or she is born. I hope that you will make the right decision and that any problems you have will be sorted out. I don't know if you believe in God or not but He believes in both of you and your child and loves all three of you with a perfect love.

Jera - 14 years ago
At 20 weeks I was given the option to abort my baby because of several birth defects, many that were life-threatening. The kidneys were 2-3 times enlarged and echogenic, there was very little amniotic fluid (the lungs would never develop as a result), the baby's head was abnormally shaped due to the low fluid, there was fluid around the heart,the bladder was not visible, the baby had extra digits, and the left foot was clubbed. The doctor said, "I never say never, but it's very unlikely your baby will live." Nineteen weeks later, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Faith. Head is normal, heart is normal, bladder is normal, lungs are perfect, no clubbed foot! She had one tiny extra digit that was easily removed. The last ultrasound of her kidneys showed normal-looking kidneys! You don't realize how much a child will change your life until you have one. This baby you are about to have it going to rock your world! (Read more about Faith's story at www.caringbridge.org/visit/faithalyse. Praying for you and that precious little life you are carrying!

I'm shocked, i can't even believe someone with a heart and with a healthy brain can even think about doing a murder like this. At least bring him to life then give him for adoption if you don't want him.
I bet there are many infertile couples who are not that lucky as you are and they whould give years from their life only to have their own child.
I can't believe how cruel you can be having doubt about keeping such a precious present God gived it to you. :(

Congratulations, you've already ruined his life. If you have any shred of a soul you'll give him up for adoption to parents that would actually love and cherish him. You are disgusting, vile people who should be sterilized. The way you are going about this is sickening and embarrasing - have you no conscience or respect for the life inside of you? You are a disgrace to the human race. This is just sick.

Please think of your child. At 4 months, your child has fingerprints, a face, a beating heart. A baby is a gift from God, a blessing. You are obviously agonizing over this decision. Please, PLEASE consider this; it is very, very likely that you will regret having an abortion. Almost all women do.
You are in my prayers. God will bless you with a wonderful baby, and you will look back and wonder how you ever considered ending it's life.
Please determine the gender of your baby, then let us know if it's a boy or a girl.
God Bless you and your family.
Sincerely,

We are rarely given the chance to make sure all of the things that happen in our lives are going to meet our personel expectations for the ideal way in which life does happen to us. I know how the emotional strain of loosing a child can be difficult to mentaly recover from and i can understand your reluctance to place your self in the position to possibly feel that again so soon after your last pregnancy, however many people who have decided to have an abortion have ended up having some of the same mental and emotional trauma over that decisioin. This will be difficult no matter which option you take. I hope you make the one with at least a chance of life in it.

Please, count your blessings and have this baby! I don't however, think you should be using an internet poll for such an important decision.

Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.

This is absolutely horrifying. From a mom who literally just gave birth, how can you even possibly think about an abortion after looking at those US! It is a growing child. If you don't want the baby then you should've never gotten pregnant. Even if you have the child, you should give it up for adoption as this is absolutely ridiculous. What will you tell your child one day when they find out you put their life on the internet to a public pole??? Just think how horrible he will feel.

AlsoPregnant - 14 years ago
Almost three years ago, I became unexpectedly pregnant with my second child. My first was only nine months old, my marriage was not doing well, and we were beyond broke. We could not afford to diaper the baby we had, and now we were having another one. I resented the baby the entire nine months I carried her, for coming so close to the other one, for overtaking my body after I'd just gotten it back to normal, for driving a wedge between me and my husband, for appearing right when we lost our health insurance through work, and for simply existing. I was not ready to have another baby. When she was born, I could not bond to her immediately. She was colicky, and cried for about the first ten weeks of her life. It was miserable. Then, one day I was changing her clothes, and she giggled. At that moment, she stole my heart. Every day, she nestled herself deeper and deeper into our hearts. Today, she is the kindest, bubbliest, most precious little girl I have ever seen. When she was almost a year old, we discovered that I had cancer. If we had waited to get pregnant again until we had originally planned to do so, I would probably would not have my baby or my life. My precious children gave me something to live for while I was sick. The bottom line is that never, in even the most horrible of circumstances, does any mother regret the birth of her child. I know you don't feel "ready." Nobody really is. But if you abort this baby, you will always wonder what could have been. Parenting is tough. It is also incredibly rewarding. Do not derive yourselves or the world of the incredible gift that is your child. Giving another person life is something to be proud of.
Tami - 14 years ago
I need to tell you our story, as so many people probably are.
We could not have children of our own and did adopt our son. It has not been easy. Adopted kids have issues. BUT I would not change any of it! And his birthmother is the person I respect and look up to more than anyone else. To have the courage to put her childs best interest before her own took an amazing amount of courage and guts! We are lucky. We have an open adoption and I love it. WE have contact with her and her family. She calls and writes to us often. But there are very healthy boundaries between us.
My, now 16 year old son, met her last summer. Her and his 2 brothers and had an awesome time. And now it is his responsibility to have a relationship wtih her. And it is good. He is considering going to college in the town where she lives and we think that would be a great idea. He needs to know her while he is still young.
I needed to tell you that adoption is not the end. And abortion is not the answer. I will pray for you. All 3 of you. Blessings, Tami

I am not going to comment on how I feel about you even posting this for the public to vote. I am going to comment on the fact whether you are going to have an abortion or give birth. Seriously, I am begging you to give this child a chance. To me abortion is murder especially at this stage. You can clearly see that baby in the ultrasounds how could you possibly even consider killing this child. As a young mother to my two beautiful children, at 16 weeks I could feel most movements and became very bonded by that time. You two are 30 years old, it said that you had 2 PLANNED pregnancies before that resulted in a miscarriage which I am very sorry about but WHY would you even THINK about having a abortion if you were trying to get pregnant. READY OR NOT THIS CHILD NEEDS TO BE BORN! If you decide that you don’t want to become a mother there are PLENTY of parents out there that will want that child and raise it like their own!!
Lori - 14 years ago
Please consider adoption instead if you really don't want to have this child. If you actually knew what happens to the baby during an abortion you wouldn't even consider it. The baby can feel the pain before it dies. Please consider having it even if you don't keep it. I used to be pro-choice but no longer!

Im 20 and from the UK. When I read your story today in the Newspaper I felt physically sick, I was angered by the thought of you putting the life of your unborn child into the hands of the world! Your little boy did not ask to be conceived, and if you were unsure in any way that you didnt want a child then maybe you should have considered contraception. I dont want the child aborted but you two should never be allowed to keep the child if you had him anyway, your not fit to have the privilage to be called parents! How would you explain this to the child when he becomes a young man? I think you need professional help.

I made the mistake to have an abortion when I was 18. My husband and I are now paying for it with the inability to have a child. Please, don't have an abortion. If you need someone to love your child, we would be more than thrilled to provide the baby with a loving home. If strangers love your child enough to come and vote, and offer to adopt your child, you should love that child enough to give him/her a chance at life. Please think about it. Please don't make the same mistake that I did. Please don't make yourself live with the regret, misery, and wondering who they would be every day for the rest of your life. It is truly hell.

hi,..i hope you are all well..i can understand fully where you are coming from.at 18 i gave birth and had my baby girl adopted.i thaught i was too young and i had no support from my family...i knew she would be well looked after and loved wherever it is she went to,
since then i have had 3 termination,all between 6 - 10 weeks....i dont think i could have left it as long as you have,because the foetus is well developed (but thats my opinion)
if i was you i would choose adoption.
i hope you choose the right thing to do and are happy with your decision.

A child is the beginning of an incredible journey. Hard work? Yes. Long Hours? Yes. Head-Banging frustration? Yes. The only substantive glimpse of the concept of eternity that I will ever glimpse in this oh-too-short life? Yes.
"Trust me" is a catch-phrase that has been worn paper thin, but; Trust me. Bringing a child into the world changes your life in ways that you could not conceive before they arrive.
Your "yes" to that life enlivens parts of you that you did not know you owned.
Words like "Joy", "Love", "Amazement", "Magic" all gather new definitions to themselves.

This is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in my life. Is this a joke? How could you ever put this in the public. This is a life...not some game you leave up for random people to decide. I am so disturbed and heart broken for this baby. How will you live with yourself if you do have the baby and decide to keep it? How can you live knowing at what point in time you wanted to murder it? This is just sick. You're baby can feel the pain if you decide to murder it. If your life is so horrible and unstable that you are not able to raise this baby, you could at least let a family who is not able to conceive, love this baby and take care of it. There are so many people in this world that are not able to have a baby and would actually love and care for it in every way possible. I truly hope you find some sliver of heart in your body and give this baby to a family who wants it. Try and not be selfish for one minute and think about the baby....give it to someone who wants to love it and who would never let the fate of it's life depend on some poll... this isn't "who wore it best." I hope you can open your heart for this miracle, don't kill it.

Abortion is murder of a helpless little baby that is being formed in the womb.
I could find a good reason to kill you, but does that make it right? What if there was a law that allowed me to kill all old people because they might cost me some money to support them in their old age- would that make it right? What's next? I don't like you, you have made my life inconvenient- maybe you have cost me some money, so I'll just kill you?
How is it, America, that we love all the little babies, yet we kill our own flesh and blood? We love little animals and whales and endangered species, but we don't realize that a tiny fetus(definition re Webster's Dictionary-progeny; the unborn young of a human while still in the uterus or egg. See Embryo- Thing newly born, growing..in the earliest stage of development in the uterus.) is simply put- an undeveloped, growing human being.
My, how the wicked justify their sin! Oh, how we make excuses that sound good to the ear, but are miles away from the truth! God's heart is broken and He weeps minute by minute as each precious child is killed without mercy in it's mother's womb.
Give the child a chance to live life- no one took that away from you!
Grace - 14 years ago
You know what? There is NO specific right time to have a baby - yes, there can be ideal circumstances (i.e. steady income, nice house etc.) but when is anyone ready to have a baby? Parenthood is a lesson we all have to learn - some can fail at it, but the majority of people get on with it and make wonderful parents. Its about loving and raising a child: bringing in someone into the world who will LOVE you and adore you and giving them the chance of life. Yes, you've had heartache with losing two babies already, so why do this? Why bring more heartache onto yourselves?
Make your own choice. It's between you two as a couple - not the general public. But just so you know, you've opened up a can of worms that will no doubt stay with you for the rest of your life - especially if you keep the baby. Imagine the hurt that your child will feel if he finds this site or is told about it - imagine how hurt and how unloved he will feel. If I were you, I'd shut this god awful website down, actaully think about how to be less selfish, give it a real shot at being parents and then love the baby - lord knows I would treasure being able to have a baby.
But if this is just for fame, then I hope your baby gets adopted: by someone who will actually love your child and be a decent parent. And that you will get what you deserve for setting up this site.

Please do not go forward with an abortion. I have had one and have never recovered from the impact of aborting my child. You will be haunted by this decision for the rest of your lives. I beg of you to protect your child. Adoption is an incredible gift, and so is parenthood

You should definitely have this child that you and your husband have created together. I know the situation you are in is a bit overwhelming, but I know you can do it. If you try, you two can make wonderful parents. It may be difficult at times, but in the end it will totally be worth it! Sometimes the troubles in life make your life worth living. When you hear your little boy or girl tell you that they love you, you will know what I mean. God Bless!

in my country (Estonia) there is also "12 week rule" if you decide for an abortion.. after that only in cases of very serious medical reasons and not later than 20 weeks..
so, for me it is very hard to understand why having or not having a baby is still a question when you already know your child's gender.. and why oh why you take ultrasound pictures?!? if you know for sure you don't want to give birth then abort.. if you are not sure then have the child.. many have said it before me but you can always give the baby for adoption..
parenthood is not simple.. and many things one will learn along the way.. you are already parents and now you must decide what to do.. and do it fast.. it is not easy for the child to discover many years from now that his chance for life came from thousands of anonymous voters.. this is a decision between you two.. good luck!

When I voted the stats. were Give Birth 80.79% (73,789 votes) Have an Abortion 19.21% (17,550 votes)
If so many people are against abortion, and so up in arms at this discussion, why is abortion so easy anyway ? Who was it that decided it was a good idea to make it legal ?
Hundreds of women have abortions, year after year, and never ask anyone, or consider anyone else. At least this couple are asking the worlds opinion. They could have just decided a child was inconvenient and got rid of it without a whim.
If we have discussions like this more often, and more people were shocked and appaled by abortion, maybe there wouldn't be so many ?
And to Pete and Alisha ! Please have this child, because you can. You are carrying a unique being, that is the result of a unique joining of both your DNA. No other child, even slightly similar, will ever be the same !
And no matter what possesions you have, or what you own, or might ever own, nothing will EVER give you the same pleasure and fulfillment that a child will :-)
It's like someone smooshed the two of you together, and made one person, and that's got to be good, doesn't it ? :-)

Please do not abort. My wife and I would be ecstatic to adopt your baby. I will gladly cover the cost of this kids birth.
Please ignore the unending stream of ignorant insults above. There is a life you haven’t met yet that desperately needs you to ignore them. Please give that a chance.
Email me, please. I'm serious.
SadMama - 14 years ago
Frankly, I am concerned for the safety of your child not only now, but if you decide to give birth and raise the child accordingly. If you're willing to sacrifice the life of your child at the hands of public opinion, what would you be willing to do to the child once they are born? I would highly recommend seeking psychological help before it's too late.

if you abort this child your a murdering selfish sick fucking bitch! you and ur partner need help quick!! give baby up for adoption you dont deserve a child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jimmie Hughes - 14 years ago
Under no circumstances should you ever have an abortion. As a former fetus, you should be grateful for the life you have now. Even if you choose not to keep the baby, he/she deserves the same right to life that you do. My wife and I had three miscarriages before adopting two boys and then having two by birth. Life is to precious to put it to some vote on the internet. God loves you so much that He died for you. John 3:16
Denise - 14 years ago
My heart cries out for this child. How can you have a bunch of strangers vote on whether or not your child should live? If you were a real mother or a real woman you'd let your baby have a chance at life. Abortion is murder and you'd be putting that child through pain. I'm sitting here with my 17 month old daughter and thinking of this literally brings tears to my eyes. A mother is supposed to protect her child, not dismember it, burn it, torture it. Please I beg you and pray that you choose life. A child should be a motivator, mine motivated me to finish medical school and make a better life. If there is a will there is always a way. Please......choose life!!!!
katia - 14 years ago
WELL...I thought i had heard it all ........till THIS IS THIS A JOKE ...because it REALLY IS NOT FUNNY ..Did you create this site to ask us weather or not to have UNPROTECTED SEX ... NO...
you are a bunch of sick people im serious this is a childs life a baby that is being used for MEDIA attention in a sick way ... i think you should have it and then give it up for adoption ..because the poor kid will grow up and find out that it was a public vote for its life ..KARMA is going to get you one day ... instead of thinking about this stupid thing that is supposed to be between you and yr man ... you two should rather make us VOTE on weather or not you should be jailed !!!
Matt - 14 years ago
You are two very sick people. The fact that people like you exist saddens me beyond words. How would you like to tell your child someday that you put to a vote whether he lived or died?
I have some advice for you that I suggest you follow:
1) Give birth
2) Give the child up for adoption so he doesn't have to have two assholes raising him
3) Pete, get a vasectomy
4) Aleisha, get your tubes tied
5) Still refrain from having sex and instead GO FUCK YOURSELVES!!
Johanna - 14 years ago
I lost my child at 23 weeks, which is about what you all will be at when you make your decision. She was perfect in every way but just did not have a chance to develop for a chance to live. I wish you some insight and compassion to realize he has survived so he is meant to be in your life. I hope of all hope that you realize that he will bring you so much love and peace. You all are so lucky to be able to enjoy his warmth, his breath, his smell, and his cry. Please if you do decided to end this know there are penalty of us out in the world that will gladly take him and care for him. You have a choice and that is wonderful but know when you end this you are ending a life that should have a chance to live unlike my little girl.
Julie Mulligan - 14 years ago
I cannot believe that two 30 year olds can come up with such a vile, disgusting way of deciding whether to give an unborn child life. You have recently had two miscarriages , if you don't want children, then take precautions. I believe that ABORTION WITHOUT MEDICAL REASON AT SUCH A LATE STAGE IS EVIL but I beg you, if you go ahead and have this child, please give him up for adoption to someone decent and caring. You are both pathetic and do not deserve the joy of a child.
J - 14 years ago
Why not place the baby for adoption? There are probably people who would sleep outside on the street in January for a chance to adopt this baby. I can not even begin to tell you how this sickens me....

YOU KNOW WHAT ITS PEOPLE LIKE THIS LADY THAT PISS ME OFF! My husband and I have been trying to have a baby now for over a year and still no luck, part of the reason is that I have a pituitary tumor( well that is the biggest reason ). So it is heart breaking to me that she can have a beautiful baby and now wants to kill it! If you don’t want the baby when why the hell did you have unprotected sex you DUMB CUNT! If I ever come across this lady it would take all my strength NOT TO KILL HER!

I don't even know where to begin with this one! How does any human being actually come up with the idea to set up a website to determine whether or not to kill an unborn child?, surely this has got to be a joke?
I had many problems having my boys, and realise what a miracle it really is to be blessed with a healthy child, and how amazing the process is from conception to birth - You just make me sooooooo angry!
If you didn't want to have a child, you should of used a condom or the pill.
You don't deserve this little boy, and he doesn't deserve to have such cruel and wicked parents, do the right thing, get rid of this site, have the baby and give it to someone that would love your child!

This is so dumb because I'm 100% sure you will have that baby and you are doing this crap just to release your stress...But you have showed to the world the power of internet. And we are even more dumb because we are considering your shit... Damn! People is so bored now that they lose their time in stupid things. I hope people read this comment before doing a shit like writing them or voting. Please Do not write to this people, do something more interesting, unlucky I found this in the news which tells that we human beings are becoming so stupid. SO DO NOT WRITE MORE SHIT AND FORGET ABOUT THESE LOSERS WHO SHOWED TO THE WORLD THE POWER OF INTERNET :D .
You guys can use this space to advertise your own blogs and websites ;D ...i'm getting off bye

you are pathetic. Did you get enough attention now? Losers..you're carrying a fantastic creation you made with your own bodies. It's not an alien..it's a miracle baby!! So many people want so badly to have a baby and can't and you idiots are here asking THE PUBLIC if you should KILL your baby??? why not just wait till you've given birth then drill it's head out and kill it. I'm sickened by the outrageousness of this whole thing. you're sick...selfish..pigs.
Barbara - 14 years ago
You are a sick couple!. Give birth to the child then put the child up for adoption. Your child does not deserve parents like you
Get an abortion. And might I suggest that you create a poll on how to abort the baby. That way all these people of the internets can vote on A. Clinic B. Clothes Hanger C. Buck Shot to Stomach ect... I think it would add a whole new dynamic to this website and make it worth my fucking time to visit.
Vikki - 14 years ago
Id just like to say that as a mother i cannot understand why you would let the general public decide something so huge for you. I have read the newspaper reports, and i noticed that you think age is a problem, you've left it too late, you have a career etc etc. But a job is just that a job. You can get another one. Have you felt the baby move? It is one of the most wonderful things you will ever experience! There is no right time to have children. This isn't something you should have a vote on. If you have this child, how is it going to feel when its older, knowing that its own parents had to hold a vote on whether to have it or not? If you don't feel ready why not give it up for adoption? Make someone who cant have kids happy. At the end of the day, you know what its like to loose a child through nature, but do you think you could willing take this child's life away? You do know you will still have to give birth to it? Thats a tiny little person inside you and they can survive from pretty much 20 weeks. Make the right decision. Don't listen to other people. Its not them that have to live with it. It's you.
Adrian - 14 years ago
Just think about all those women that are desperate for children but unable to conceive. Put yourselves in their shoes for just a few moments and think just how they would feel.
It is understandable that you are nervous about the consequences of giving birth- but this is a bit extreme. Think what your child would feel like in a few years time when they find out that you do something like this... and they WILL find out. Then the bond between parent and child will not be the same. How would you explain this to your child? How would you have felt if your parents had done this to you?
With this in mind, I urge you to give birth then consider putting the child up for adoption by parents that have tried for years to conceive and would never, ever in a million years consider asking the general public whether to abort a child that they have tried so hard for, and shed many tears over.
I am literally sickened by this website. You are both obviously looking for attention, for your 15 mins of fame, and for a disgusting way to make some extra money off this stunt. I think you are both sad, and sick, and very much in need of professional mental help.
To have this baby is your choice, and your choice alone. It breaks my heart that you could even think to end this unborn child's life after it has grown in you for the last 16 weeks. This makes me scared for what kind of parent you would/could be. I strongly believe that this child should be born, and I pray to God you make the choice to give this child up for adoption, so this child can grow up in a loving environment, with parents who never had a doubt in their mind other than to love this child unconditionally.
I will be sick over this story for a long time. Absolutely disgusting!
Clearly if you have to ask the general public, then yes, you should have an abortion.
If you can not be responsible to make up your own mind, then by default, you would make horrible parents.
Have an abortion as your child will be better off not being born than to have you as a parent.
Wow, starving for attention much? You guys are retarded. I hope you have that baby and one day he holds a poll on whether or not he should murder his parents.
Regardless of what people tell you about regrets. Dont have any for the decisions you make for yourself. Be confident and stand behind them and take responsibility for the outcome of your situation. Accept the personal growth you will learn from this. It is God who will judge you on Judgement day so whatever everyone else says in their comments they face the same judgement with God as well. Don't let what they say affect what is right for you.
Wow. You people make me fuckin sick. Give this poor unfortunate child to a loving couple, then... kill yourselfs... yes kill YOURSELFS. Gah, I don't know how its possible that you could really put some stupid dumbass bullshit like this on the web for the whole world to see... do you guys really need your fifteen mins of fame that bad??? ROB A FUCKIN BANK OR SOMETHING!!! Just do us all a favor and remember, when you slit your wrist, it's down the road.. and not across the street... oh yea.... burn in hell assholes!
It doesn't seem fair that people that have already been born can vote to abort. Hum!
Joke or not... This is an absolute disgrace! What's wrong with people? Seriously. Our society is such an armpit and people need to find better things to do with their time and energy.
First of all you both are very low life. Maybe you need to google abortion and see just what happens. OR better yet...watch one in real life...Then watch that baby twitch until its death. I wish the doctors would stick a needle in the back of your spine and suck your brains out. Maybe that would solve this whole problem. Or maybe they should shoot acid on you so you will burn to death, the way they do with abortion and saline. I think you should be locked in a room with three crying babys that you can not get to for hours on end...TO represent the three children who you have given/taken life from. Maybe theres a reason you cant carry full term?? Maybe your not ment to be parents. Maybe you should have yourselfs niped and burned so you cant make this mistake again.
Then maybe you should drive off a clift. I hope it screws you up and you dont die. You need a long painful death. Maybe then you can see what you are about to do to this precious gift.
Whether you end up having this child or not, it's safe to say you are both going to Hell anyways.
WHy didn't both of you poll before you fuck? Now that you had fucked and got a baby, you should instead have a poll to see if all agree that both of you should have bang yourself to the wall till you became dumb or abort the baby. i think this is more meaningful. try that!
S I C K . . . ..... the child dont deserve to have u as parents? Please have the child, and then kill u self so i dosent have u as parents.
On behalf of my 11th grade, 4th period English class, We would like to collectivly say that even the possibility of this type of poll existing says that our country's values and morals are misdirected at best. To allow complete strangers to even have a hint of a say-so in such a major personal decision says that the seriousness with which you view life in general is pathetic.....
My mother gave birth to twin girls who died at birth. Her doctor warned that she and the child would both die if she attempted to have another child. He advised a proceedure, which would prevent conception again. After some time she was pregnant, and he told mom and dad that if they chose not to abort both mom and the child would die. My mom did die, but it was 50 years after the child was born, and after 73 years I, the child who was to die at birth, am still well. Please read Psalm 139 before you make the decision.
Are you 2 brother & sister by any chance? Here’s an idea for u; give the kid up for adoption & then kill urselves and go back to hell where u belong………phuckin inbreeds!
I am 100% for "ITS YOUR CHOICE" if your not ready, why would you bring a life into this world that your not ready for......this is how bums and drug addics come about, poor childhood. if your ready, then go for it, but if not, no way. abort. your choice! Good Luck with your decision.
@Cassi- you don't see what anywhere? I don't see anywhere that they are saying if the poll is for abortion, we will kill the baby. Rather, I see statements like 'for the first time, your voice on the topic of abortion can make a difference.' People even considering abortion don't use words like child or baby. They, in order to go through with such a grotesque act as legalized murder, use words like fetus or potential human. Just by reading about the heart rate tells me all I need to know about what they will do.
Hoax: http://www.ministryoftruth.me.uk/2010/11/18/birth-or-not-busted-site-linked-to-climate-change-denier-site/
For being 16 weeks the fetus is fully developed into a baby. My doctor told me years ago when i was pregnant that all the organs are formed in the 1st trimester. I personally dont think it would be adviseable to have a abortion so far into 1st trimester. You are a full grown adult who has been married for 10 years, and I personally think that this is a excellent way to get peoples attention to a very controversial issue over Roe Vs Wade. Im not a full Pro life supporter, nor am i a fully against abortion. I do strongly believe in a woman s right to choose just as it is the mans responsibility to be involved with the decision too. I would rather see people stand true to themselves and what they believe what is right and not be judged for the outcome of what is going to occur with their decision. Good Luck with your decision. Perhaps if the 2 of you dont believe in birth control, why would that matter if you did use it? There is devine intervention happening all the time from women regenerating their tubes after having them tied and men having vasectomies that sometimes there is a 3rd tube as my suprise pregnancy with my youngest son back in 2002. Just Take care of yourselves and have a happy life together with your wife If that is what you both want.
I have 4 children , the only one I considered aborting is the only one who has blessed me beyond belief!
James Robinson , the TV evangelist has done miracles for millions; he was a child of rape;
God is well able to provide for you and your child. Don't kill him because you can't see a way. Give him to someone who will love him : )
Abort. You're both too crazy for kids and would only serve to further dumb down the gene pool. Take yourself out of the mix while you're at it.
If you have to poll the internet to determine if you want to abort or give birth, you should definitely abort. Going to the internet, which is filled with such abysmal idiots and trolls, just shows you are obviously cut from the same cloth and would be giving birth to the same. Do what you think is right. Don't put the decision into someone elses hands. Man up and make a decision yourself because now if you regret the decision you'll just blame the internet when it will still be entirely your fault. You deserve to be trolled by 4chan which is the worst thing I could ever wish upon anyone.
Are you serious? You have been given a 3RD CHANCE to have your own child and you want to know if the public thinks you should keep him or not. You are so lucky that you can actually choose... I had my first child after 5 years of trying, which was heart breaking and my friend had hers after 7 years of trying. We both have healthy boys and life has changed for the better. Being parents is the best feeling in the world and I seriously can't believe you are actually thinking of aborting him.... After all the pictures you have of him, I don't think you'll be able to forgive yourselves if you go ahead with aborting but thats just my opinion..... The final decision can only be yours and if you do decide to keep him, make sure he doesn't find out about this stupid website because this will crush him....
You two do not deserve to be parents. Even if this is some sick twisted political statement, you make no sense. You are using this child as a way to show votes CAN count, when you believe votes DON'T count in our political system?? HUH? CPS should step in and take this child before you guys screw this one up. The only attention you guys are getting is the attention drawn to your stupidity.
i think this is very sick! there are millions of people out there that cant evan conceve! and your doing this! it is wrong and disterbing! have the baby and give it to people that want it and will love it and give it a good life! you should be put in jail!
I say option C: give it up for adoption. You are clearly mentally unstable and unfit to be parents. Maybe you should have thought about the consequences (since supposedly you’ve had 2 miscarriages) before having unprotected sex!?!? The mom is just as ugly inside as she is outside: a fat, greedy pig! Makes for a great story to tell your kid; btw-we put your life to a poll and extorted you for 30 seconds of fame & money!
Why punish your unborn child because you are not ready? Is it the child's fault?
No, it's not. He/she didnt make the decision, you were the one's that created him/her/.
You dont have to live up to being the perfect parents because there are no such things. There are plenty of mums and dads out there that have jobs and the life they had before but with the added joy that they now share it with someone else.
Why not think about giving the baby up for adoption? There are thousands of couples worldwide who would give up their life savings, homes, jobs just to have a child.
Whatever your decision is, this is not the way to do it over the internet. If you have the child, how are you going to tell him/her later in life about this?
These guys don't know what they're talking about
Please kill your child.
And let me know if there is anything I can do to help make that happen.
i think it is all so wrong it has a heart beat and and is healthy why when your pregnant ? she was planning it before she lost the previous one. what a sick bitch.she should be made to have it then be sterillised
After years of sexual assaults during my childhood, I was forced to have and abortion about the age of 12. I am now 52 and still feel the pain of not only the violence that was done to me, but also the violence that I was forced to be a part of. Please consider the lifelong pain that you may face if you should decide to destroy the life of your child. The reality sets in after the act is finished and cannot be undone. I have gone through much healing and have written a book on healing from abuse and trauma, Flame of Healing. Abortion trauma is real. Please give life to this child and if parenting is too much for you just now, release him to life abundant with parents who are ready to parent a child. It would be a far more compassionate choice for both you and this dear little boy. I am willing to talk with you and offer love and encouragement.
If you two are not sure about the baby, why should all three of you suffer?
Please do not abort your baby! If you don't want to be parents put him or her up for adoption but PLEASE don't kill this child. Give him or her a chance. At the moment he or she does not have a voice to speak with but he or she is a living human being. Please think about what this child might say to you if she or he could speak. Give this child a chance to speak one day and make his or her own decisions.
All life is precious and all children are gifts from God.Think about how you would feel if this poll was about whether your life should have been ended before you were born. I'm sure there are many people out there praying for you and your baby that you make the right choice. I know you will both look inside yourselves and do what is right. Once you have the baby you may still want to have him or her adopted, or you may want to keep him or her. Give your child, and YOURSELVES, a chance to see whether you do feel that way once he or she is born. I hope that you will make the right decision and that any problems you have will be sorted out. I don't know if you believe in God or not but He believes in both of you and your child and loves all three of you with a perfect love.
Im for WOMENS RIGHT! BORN OR UNBORN! KEEP THE BABY! The baby is innocent, why would you give the death sentence!?
At 20 weeks I was given the option to abort my baby because of several birth defects, many that were life-threatening. The kidneys were 2-3 times enlarged and echogenic, there was very little amniotic fluid (the lungs would never develop as a result), the baby's head was abnormally shaped due to the low fluid, there was fluid around the heart,the bladder was not visible, the baby had extra digits, and the left foot was clubbed. The doctor said, "I never say never, but it's very unlikely your baby will live." Nineteen weeks later, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Faith. Head is normal, heart is normal, bladder is normal, lungs are perfect, no clubbed foot! She had one tiny extra digit that was easily removed. The last ultrasound of her kidneys showed normal-looking kidneys! You don't realize how much a child will change your life until you have one. This baby you are about to have it going to rock your world! (Read more about Faith's story at www.caringbridge.org/visit/faithalyse. Praying for you and that precious little life you are carrying!
I'm shocked, i can't even believe someone with a heart and with a healthy brain can even think about doing a murder like this. At least bring him to life then give him for adoption if you don't want him.
I bet there are many infertile couples who are not that lucky as you are and they whould give years from their life only to have their own child.
I can't believe how cruel you can be having doubt about keeping such a precious present God gived it to you. :(
Congratulations, you've already ruined his life. If you have any shred of a soul you'll give him up for adoption to parents that would actually love and cherish him. You are disgusting, vile people who should be sterilized. The way you are going about this is sickening and embarrasing - have you no conscience or respect for the life inside of you? You are a disgrace to the human race. This is just sick.
Are you going to post pictures of him after the abortion?
WHY WHY WHY . YOU KNOW WHAT i TALKING ABOUT.
Please think of your child. At 4 months, your child has fingerprints, a face, a beating heart. A baby is a gift from God, a blessing. You are obviously agonizing over this decision. Please, PLEASE consider this; it is very, very likely that you will regret having an abortion. Almost all women do.
You are in my prayers. God will bless you with a wonderful baby, and you will look back and wonder how you ever considered ending it's life.
Please determine the gender of your baby, then let us know if it's a boy or a girl.
God Bless you and your family.
Sincerely,
Michael Schmidtman
I think this pretty much points out that you're not ready to be parents... That's not a big deal or a bad thing, but you shouldn't be having a child before you're ready.
I hope you abort the pregnancy, otherwise you'l probably raise that child to be ignorant like you. If you do choose to go through with the pregnancy which we all know you will since this is a big anti choice publicity stunt, I hope your child is born deformed. Fuck you and fuck your children
Du gros n'importe quoi.... j'ai même pas envie d'écrire en anglais. Fuck.
ADOPTION!!!!! I am pro choice, however at this late in the pregnancy I believe it is wrong to have an Abortion. If you wanted an abortion you should have done it sooner. Have the baby and give it up for Adoption if you still don't want it. There are many people who Can't have children who would LOVE to have a newborn baby!
We are rarely given the chance to make sure all of the things that happen in our lives are going to meet our personel expectations for the ideal way in which life does happen to us. I know how the emotional strain of loosing a child can be difficult to mentaly recover from and i can understand your reluctance to place your self in the position to possibly feel that again so soon after your last pregnancy, however many people who have decided to have an abortion have ended up having some of the same mental and emotional trauma over that decisioin. This will be difficult no matter which option you take. I hope you make the one with at least a chance of life in it.
Please, count your blessings and have this baby! I don't however, think you should be using an internet poll for such an important decision. You should not be going to a bunch of strangers for advice. This is your child - pray on it and remember that children are a blessing. Your child has a purpose in this world.
Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.
Proverbs 3:6.

I hope, for your child's sake, that he os she never learns about this despicable stunt. Good luck, your going to need it. JPW
KEEP YOUR BABY! YOUR DIRTY IF U GET RID!
I urge you both to read Spike Milligan's poem; Unto us before making a decision .
To quote one line from this poem about aborting a child, "Please wait for me, I will bring you love..."
In my opinion however, neither of you deserve the unconditional love of a child!
Listen... the only thing I can say is that now, you may not be sure what the right thing to do is, but as soon as you can hold your baby in your arms, you'll know that it's the most beautiful feeling you ever had!
This is absolutely horrifying. From a mom who literally just gave birth, how can you even possibly think about an abortion after looking at those US! It is a growing child. If you don't want the baby then you should've never gotten pregnant. Even if you have the child, you should give it up for adoption as this is absolutely ridiculous. What will you tell your child one day when they find out you put their life on the internet to a public pole??? Just think how horrible he will feel.
I think you are both sick. Seriously.I feel sorry for your unborn child. Sorry that he/she may be aborted and sorry that he/she may have you both as parents.
Please keep the precious life that is growing inside you. If you aren't ready to be parents, you can let someone adopt him or her, who will be able to provide them with a loving home.

I am 45 years old father of two loving boys 9 and 11. Don't hesitate about your boy, he is the best what you can get. If you are not feeling strong enough to take care about him it is posibility of adoption.
I have had one miscarriage, but briefly considered an abortion before the miss happened. My daughter-in-law just recently had a miss of a desired child. After suffering the pains of losing babies in this way, I do not understand why you would risk becoming pregnant if you did not want to have the child.
Too bad there is no *ADOPTION* button
I hope you have the baby, but I also hope Social Services is holding one of your legs up during delivery so that a representative from Child Protective Services can grab the baby AS SOON as he/she is born to place in a loving home.
The Lord is knitting this child together in the womb. The child is an image of its parents. Love this child that loves you - his Mom and Dad.
Prayers for the sake of your baby's life. i know others have already offered to adopt, i've had 4 miscarriages in the past and those crushed my heart deeply so even if i'm stretched thin with an autistic son and an other with possible learning difficulty, i would adopt in a heartbeat so that an other one may live too. life is too precious. everyone deserve to know love.
I am a person that was given up for adoption. I am so grateful that my mother carried me through pregnancy...my kids are grateful too.
Abortion is EVIL...don't ever forget that.
I think this is absolutely pathetic and terrifying.... There are woman, like ME for instance, who cannot have children and you are joking about the greatest event of life! Opening such a disgusting site only to get popularity and fame. I saw about this story in Italian newspapers. Congratulations! You are famous all over the world!! Be ashamed of yourselves...
Please have the child - you can give it up for adoption!
If you have the abortion you will regret it every day for the rest of your life.
30 years later I am still sorry I wish I would have had someone to talk to before doing it.
Almost three years ago, I became unexpectedly pregnant with my second child. My first was only nine months old, my marriage was not doing well, and we were beyond broke. We could not afford to diaper the baby we had, and now we were having another one. I resented the baby the entire nine months I carried her, for coming so close to the other one, for overtaking my body after I'd just gotten it back to normal, for driving a wedge between me and my husband, for appearing right when we lost our health insurance through work, and for simply existing. I was not ready to have another baby. When she was born, I could not bond to her immediately. She was colicky, and cried for about the first ten weeks of her life. It was miserable. Then, one day I was changing her clothes, and she giggled. At that moment, she stole my heart. Every day, she nestled herself deeper and deeper into our hearts. Today, she is the kindest, bubbliest, most precious little girl I have ever seen. When she was almost a year old, we discovered that I had cancer. If we had waited to get pregnant again until we had originally planned to do so, I would probably would not have my baby or my life. My precious children gave me something to live for while I was sick. The bottom line is that never, in even the most horrible of circumstances, does any mother regret the birth of her child. I know you don't feel "ready." Nobody really is. But if you abort this baby, you will always wonder what could have been. Parenting is tough. It is also incredibly rewarding. Do not derive yourselves or the world of the incredible gift that is your child. Giving another person life is something to be proud of.
I need to tell you our story, as so many people probably are.
We could not have children of our own and did adopt our son. It has not been easy. Adopted kids have issues. BUT I would not change any of it! And his birthmother is the person I respect and look up to more than anyone else. To have the courage to put her childs best interest before her own took an amazing amount of courage and guts! We are lucky. We have an open adoption and I love it. WE have contact with her and her family. She calls and writes to us often. But there are very healthy boundaries between us.
My, now 16 year old son, met her last summer. Her and his 2 brothers and had an awesome time. And now it is his responsibility to have a relationship wtih her. And it is good. He is considering going to college in the town where she lives and we think that would be a great idea. He needs to know her while he is still young.
I needed to tell you that adoption is not the end. And abortion is not the answer. I will pray for you. All 3 of you. Blessings, Tami
I am not going to comment on how I feel about you even posting this for the public to vote. I am going to comment on the fact whether you are going to have an abortion or give birth. Seriously, I am begging you to give this child a chance. To me abortion is murder especially at this stage. You can clearly see that baby in the ultrasounds how could you possibly even consider killing this child. As a young mother to my two beautiful children, at 16 weeks I could feel most movements and became very bonded by that time. You two are 30 years old, it said that you had 2 PLANNED pregnancies before that resulted in a miscarriage which I am very sorry about but WHY would you even THINK about having a abortion if you were trying to get pregnant. READY OR NOT THIS CHILD NEEDS TO BE BORN! If you decide that you don’t want to become a mother there are PLENTY of parents out there that will want that child and raise it like their own!!
Please consider adoption instead if you really don't want to have this child. If you actually knew what happens to the baby during an abortion you wouldn't even consider it. The baby can feel the pain before it dies. Please consider having it even if you don't keep it. I used to be pro-choice but no longer!
Im 20 and from the UK. When I read your story today in the Newspaper I felt physically sick, I was angered by the thought of you putting the life of your unborn child into the hands of the world! Your little boy did not ask to be conceived, and if you were unsure in any way that you didnt want a child then maybe you should have considered contraception. I dont want the child aborted but you two should never be allowed to keep the child if you had him anyway, your not fit to have the privilage to be called parents! How would you explain this to the child when he becomes a young man? I think you need professional help.
I made the mistake to have an abortion when I was 18. My husband and I are now paying for it with the inability to have a child. Please, don't have an abortion. If you need someone to love your child, we would be more than thrilled to provide the baby with a loving home. If strangers love your child enough to come and vote, and offer to adopt your child, you should love that child enough to give him/her a chance at life. Please think about it. Please don't make the same mistake that I did. Please don't make yourself live with the regret, misery, and wondering who they would be every day for the rest of your life. It is truly hell.
YOU SHOULD BE LOCKED UP ... AND THROW AWAY THE KEYS...PATHETIC,DISGUSTING ...LOOSERS THATS WHAT YOU TWO ARE ...AND THIS IS THE ATTENTION YOU WANT TO GET HEY ....SCUM OF THE EARTH ...GO ON A DIET INSTEAD BOTH OF YOU FAT FUCKS !!! CURLY WERLY BITCH SHAME ON YOU AND SHAME ON YR MOM FOR HAVING YOU BITCH ...some people spend their lives loving their kids you SICKOS !!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY DONT YOU GO JUMP OF A BRIDGE BUT ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE THE KID COZ THEN THE PEOPLE CAN TELL THE CHILD THAT YOU WERE MENTALLY ILL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi,..i hope you are all well..i can understand fully where you are coming from.at 18 i gave birth and had my baby girl adopted.i thaught i was too young and i had no support from my family...i knew she would be well looked after and loved wherever it is she went to,
since then i have had 3 termination,all between 6 - 10 weeks....i dont think i could have left it as long as you have,because the foetus is well developed (but thats my opinion)
if i was you i would choose adoption.
i hope you choose the right thing to do and are happy with your decision.
all the best..liz x
A child is the beginning of an incredible journey. Hard work? Yes. Long Hours? Yes. Head-Banging frustration? Yes. The only substantive glimpse of the concept of eternity that I will ever glimpse in this oh-too-short life? Yes.
"Trust me" is a catch-phrase that has been worn paper thin, but; Trust me. Bringing a child into the world changes your life in ways that you could not conceive before they arrive.
Your "yes" to that life enlivens parts of you that you did not know you owned.
Words like "Joy", "Love", "Amazement", "Magic" all gather new definitions to themselves.
Say Yes.......
It is soooo sad that in our world the life of a tree or animal is more important than that of a baby in the womb. I say choose life and give this baby up for adoption (someone will love and take care of him/her).
This is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in my life. Is this a joke? How could you ever put this in the public. This is a life...not some game you leave up for random people to decide. I am so disturbed and heart broken for this baby. How will you live with yourself if you do have the baby and decide to keep it? How can you live knowing at what point in time you wanted to murder it? This is just sick. You're baby can feel the pain if you decide to murder it. If your life is so horrible and unstable that you are not able to raise this baby, you could at least let a family who is not able to conceive, love this baby and take care of it. There are so many people in this world that are not able to have a baby and would actually love and care for it in every way possible. I truly hope you find some sliver of heart in your body and give this baby to a family who wants it. Try and not be selfish for one minute and think about the baby....give it to someone who wants to love it and who would never let the fate of it's life depend on some poll... this isn't "who wore it best." I hope you can open your heart for this miracle, don't kill it.
Children are a blessing from God.
is this for fucken real????? get a fucken grip keep yer legs shut or get steralised u tramp
Abortion is murder of a helpless little baby that is being formed in the womb.
I could find a good reason to kill you, but does that make it right? What if there was a law that allowed me to kill all old people because they might cost me some money to support them in their old age- would that make it right? What's next? I don't like you, you have made my life inconvenient- maybe you have cost me some money, so I'll just kill you?
How is it, America, that we love all the little babies, yet we kill our own flesh and blood? We love little animals and whales and endangered species, but we don't realize that a tiny fetus(definition re Webster's Dictionary-progeny; the unborn young of a human while still in the uterus or egg. See Embryo- Thing newly born, growing..in the earliest stage of development in the uterus.) is simply put- an undeveloped, growing human being.
My, how the wicked justify their sin! Oh, how we make excuses that sound good to the ear, but are miles away from the truth! God's heart is broken and He weeps minute by minute as each precious child is killed without mercy in it's mother's womb.
Give the child a chance to live life- no one took that away from you!
You know what? There is NO specific right time to have a baby - yes, there can be ideal circumstances (i.e. steady income, nice house etc.) but when is anyone ready to have a baby? Parenthood is a lesson we all have to learn - some can fail at it, but the majority of people get on with it and make wonderful parents. Its about loving and raising a child: bringing in someone into the world who will LOVE you and adore you and giving them the chance of life. Yes, you've had heartache with losing two babies already, so why do this? Why bring more heartache onto yourselves?
Make your own choice. It's between you two as a couple - not the general public. But just so you know, you've opened up a can of worms that will no doubt stay with you for the rest of your life - especially if you keep the baby. Imagine the hurt that your child will feel if he finds this site or is told about it - imagine how hurt and how unloved he will feel. If I were you, I'd shut this god awful website down, actaully think about how to be less selfish, give it a real shot at being parents and then love the baby - lord knows I would treasure being able to have a baby.
But if this is just for fame, then I hope your baby gets adopted: by someone who will actually love your child and be a decent parent. And that you will get what you deserve for setting up this site.
Please do not go forward with an abortion. I have had one and have never recovered from the impact of aborting my child. You will be haunted by this decision for the rest of your lives. I beg of you to protect your child. Adoption is an incredible gift, and so is parenthood
You should definitely have this child that you and your husband have created together. I know the situation you are in is a bit overwhelming, but I know you can do it. If you try, you two can make wonderful parents. It may be difficult at times, but in the end it will totally be worth it! Sometimes the troubles in life make your life worth living. When you hear your little boy or girl tell you that they love you, you will know what I mean. God Bless!
in my country (Estonia) there is also "12 week rule" if you decide for an abortion.. after that only in cases of very serious medical reasons and not later than 20 weeks..
so, for me it is very hard to understand why having or not having a baby is still a question when you already know your child's gender.. and why oh why you take ultrasound pictures?!? if you know for sure you don't want to give birth then abort.. if you are not sure then have the child.. many have said it before me but you can always give the baby for adoption..
parenthood is not simple.. and many things one will learn along the way.. you are already parents and now you must decide what to do.. and do it fast.. it is not easy for the child to discover many years from now that his chance for life came from thousands of anonymous voters.. this is a decision between you two.. good luck!
When I voted the stats. were Give Birth 80.79% (73,789 votes) Have an Abortion 19.21% (17,550 votes)
If so many people are against abortion, and so up in arms at this discussion, why is abortion so easy anyway ? Who was it that decided it was a good idea to make it legal ?
Hundreds of women have abortions, year after year, and never ask anyone, or consider anyone else. At least this couple are asking the worlds opinion. They could have just decided a child was inconvenient and got rid of it without a whim.
If we have discussions like this more often, and more people were shocked and appaled by abortion, maybe there wouldn't be so many ?
And to Pete and Alisha ! Please have this child, because you can. You are carrying a unique being, that is the result of a unique joining of both your DNA. No other child, even slightly similar, will ever be the same !
And no matter what possesions you have, or what you own, or might ever own, nothing will EVER give you the same pleasure and fulfillment that a child will :-)
It's like someone smooshed the two of you together, and made one person, and that's got to be good, doesn't it ? :-)
Please do not abort. My wife and I would be ecstatic to adopt your baby. I will gladly cover the cost of this kids birth.
Please ignore the unending stream of ignorant insults above. There is a life you haven’t met yet that desperately needs you to ignore them. Please give that a chance.
Email me, please. I'm serious.
Frankly, I am concerned for the safety of your child not only now, but if you decide to give birth and raise the child accordingly. If you're willing to sacrifice the life of your child at the hands of public opinion, what would you be willing to do to the child once they are born? I would highly recommend seeking psychological help before it's too late.
if you abort this child your a murdering selfish sick fucking bitch! you and ur partner need help quick!! give baby up for adoption you dont deserve a child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Under no circumstances should you ever have an abortion. As a former fetus, you should be grateful for the life you have now. Even if you choose not to keep the baby, he/she deserves the same right to life that you do. My wife and I had three miscarriages before adopting two boys and then having two by birth. Life is to precious to put it to some vote on the internet. God loves you so much that He died for you. John 3:16
My heart cries out for this child. How can you have a bunch of strangers vote on whether or not your child should live? If you were a real mother or a real woman you'd let your baby have a chance at life. Abortion is murder and you'd be putting that child through pain. I'm sitting here with my 17 month old daughter and thinking of this literally brings tears to my eyes. A mother is supposed to protect her child, not dismember it, burn it, torture it. Please I beg you and pray that you choose life. A child should be a motivator, mine motivated me to finish medical school and make a better life. If there is a will there is always a way. Please......choose life!!!!
WELL...I thought i had heard it all ........till THIS IS THIS A JOKE ...because it REALLY IS NOT FUNNY ..Did you create this site to ask us weather or not to have UNPROTECTED SEX ... NO...
you are a bunch of sick people im serious this is a childs life a baby that is being used for MEDIA attention in a sick way ... i think you should have it and then give it up for adoption ..because the poor kid will grow up and find out that it was a public vote for its life ..KARMA is going to get you one day ... instead of thinking about this stupid thing that is supposed to be between you and yr man ... you two should rather make us VOTE on weather or not you should be jailed !!!
You are two very sick people. The fact that people like you exist saddens me beyond words. How would you like to tell your child someday that you put to a vote whether he lived or died?
I have some advice for you that I suggest you follow:
1) Give birth
2) Give the child up for adoption so he doesn't have to have two assholes raising him
3) Pete, get a vasectomy
4) Aleisha, get your tubes tied
5) Still refrain from having sex and instead GO FUCK YOURSELVES!!
I lost my child at 23 weeks, which is about what you all will be at when you make your decision. She was perfect in every way but just did not have a chance to develop for a chance to live. I wish you some insight and compassion to realize he has survived so he is meant to be in your life. I hope of all hope that you realize that he will bring you so much love and peace. You all are so lucky to be able to enjoy his warmth, his breath, his smell, and his cry. Please if you do decided to end this know there are penalty of us out in the world that will gladly take him and care for him. You have a choice and that is wonderful but know when you end this you are ending a life that should have a chance to live unlike my little girl.
I cannot believe that two 30 year olds can come up with such a vile, disgusting way of deciding whether to give an unborn child life. You have recently had two miscarriages , if you don't want children, then take precautions. I believe that ABORTION WITHOUT MEDICAL REASON AT SUCH A LATE STAGE IS EVIL but I beg you, if you go ahead and have this child, please give him up for adoption to someone decent and caring. You are both pathetic and do not deserve the joy of a child.
Why not place the baby for adoption? There are probably people who would sleep outside on the street in January for a chance to adopt this baby. I can not even begin to tell you how this sickens me....
Will you give this child up for adoption if you follow through with the pregnancy?
poor child.....you are sick!!!!
YOU KNOW WHAT ITS PEOPLE LIKE THIS LADY THAT PISS ME OFF! My husband and I have been trying to have a baby now for over a year and still no luck, part of the reason is that I have a pituitary tumor( well that is the biggest reason ). So it is heart breaking to me that she can have a beautiful baby and now wants to kill it! If you don’t want the baby when why the hell did you have unprotected sex you DUMB CUNT! If I ever come across this lady it would take all my strength NOT TO KILL HER!
Buenas,
Por favor no aborten al Bebe. Yo lo puedo cuidar
Perú
I don't even know where to begin with this one! How does any human being actually come up with the idea to set up a website to determine whether or not to kill an unborn child?, surely this has got to be a joke?
I had many problems having my boys, and realise what a miracle it really is to be blessed with a healthy child, and how amazing the process is from conception to birth - You just make me sooooooo angry!
If you didn't want to have a child, you should of used a condom or the pill.
You don't deserve this little boy, and he doesn't deserve to have such cruel and wicked parents, do the right thing, get rid of this site, have the baby and give it to someone that would love your child!
This is so dumb because I'm 100% sure you will have that baby and you are doing this crap just to release your stress...But you have showed to the world the power of internet. And we are even more dumb because we are considering your shit... Damn! People is so bored now that they lose their time in stupid things. I hope people read this comment before doing a shit like writing them or voting. Please Do not write to this people, do something more interesting, unlucky I found this in the news which tells that we human beings are becoming so stupid. SO DO NOT WRITE MORE SHIT AND FORGET ABOUT THESE LOSERS WHO SHOWED TO THE WORLD THE POWER OF INTERNET :D .
You guys can use this space to advertise your own blogs and websites ;D ...i'm getting off bye
you are pathetic. Did you get enough attention now? Losers..you're carrying a fantastic creation you made with your own bodies. It's not an alien..it's a miracle baby!! So many people want so badly to have a baby and can't and you idiots are here asking THE PUBLIC if you should KILL your baby??? why not just wait till you've given birth then drill it's head out and kill it. I'm sickened by the outrageousness of this whole thing. you're sick...selfish..pigs.
You are a sick couple!. Give birth to the child then put the child up for adoption. Your child does not deserve parents like you
Get an abortion. And might I suggest that you create a poll on how to abort the baby. That way all these people of the internets can vote on A. Clinic B. Clothes Hanger C. Buck Shot to Stomach ect... I think it would add a whole new dynamic to this website and make it worth my fucking time to visit.
Id just like to say that as a mother i cannot understand why you would let the general public decide something so huge for you. I have read the newspaper reports, and i noticed that you think age is a problem, you've left it too late, you have a career etc etc. But a job is just that a job. You can get another one. Have you felt the baby move? It is one of the most wonderful things you will ever experience! There is no right time to have children. This isn't something you should have a vote on. If you have this child, how is it going to feel when its older, knowing that its own parents had to hold a vote on whether to have it or not? If you don't feel ready why not give it up for adoption? Make someone who cant have kids happy. At the end of the day, you know what its like to loose a child through nature, but do you think you could willing take this child's life away? You do know you will still have to give birth to it? Thats a tiny little person inside you and they can survive from pretty much 20 weeks. Make the right decision. Don't listen to other people. Its not them that have to live with it. It's you.
Just think about all those women that are desperate for children but unable to conceive. Put yourselves in their shoes for just a few moments and think just how they would feel.
It is understandable that you are nervous about the consequences of giving birth- but this is a bit extreme. Think what your child would feel like in a few years time when they find out that you do something like this... and they WILL find out. Then the bond between parent and child will not be the same. How would you explain this to your child? How would you have felt if your parents had done this to you?
With this in mind, I urge you to give birth then consider putting the child up for adoption by parents that have tried for years to conceive and would never, ever in a million years consider asking the general public whether to abort a child that they have tried so hard for, and shed many tears over.
I am literally sickened by this website. You are both obviously looking for attention, for your 15 mins of fame, and for a disgusting way to make some extra money off this stunt. I think you are both sad, and sick, and very much in need of professional mental help.
To have this baby is your choice, and your choice alone. It breaks my heart that you could even think to end this unborn child's life after it has grown in you for the last 16 weeks. This makes me scared for what kind of parent you would/could be. I strongly believe that this child should be born, and I pray to God you make the choice to give this child up for adoption, so this child can grow up in a loving environment, with parents who never had a doubt in their mind other than to love this child unconditionally.
I will be sick over this story for a long time. Absolutely disgusting!
