    Give this child a chance! Give birth and make another couple that cannot have children happy!

  • Benjamin - 14 years ago

    Look, here's the thing. I see people on here posting that the pro-lifer's are selfish. No, that's not true at all. What the truth is, is that we know how important life is. I saw my daughter die in front of me. She was only moments old. How can you say it's being selfish to want to see life continue? From the moment that baby's heart starts beating, from the moment the first brain cells start firing back and forth. That's life. To end it is murder. In colorado they passed a law that says if you hurt a pregnant woman and she miscarries, it's murder. Not assualt on the mother, it's MURDER! Abortion still hurts the mother. Emotionally, and physically. If you have this child aborted at 19 weeks, you're going to have to deliver just as though it were a live birth. I saw the pain my wife went through as she delivered our daughter at 21 weeks. It was horrible. And we watched our daughter die in front of us. Her body developed an infection and her body aborted the pregnancy. Do you know how painfull it was for me to be there and watch our daughter die because her lungs were not developed? If only you knew. And here you are able to carry this baby of yours to full term. How Lucky You Are! do the right thing. Either keep the baby and raise itthe right way, or give the child up for adoption. We'd be glad to adopt the baby. Just tell me and I'll get my lawyer on it. This child does not deserve to die because you wanted your 15 minutes of fame.

    i saw the ultrasound pics after my first comment...... the whole world has seen this baby it already has a name even though its "wiggles" bubs may aswell already be in the world this is not right to be even considering abortion it has brought me to tears to see the baby and know in just a couple of weeks it may be dead my god i wish i knew who you were i just want to shake you and tell you to wake up this is wrong. if you have it and truly realise you dont want it give it up for adoption but please please do not kill this poor helpless child its not right

  • Coralie - 14 years ago

    Shame on you! How could abortion even cross your mind? Abortion is a sin! God has blessed you with the gift of life and this is how you choose to thank Him? It clearly states in the 10 commandments 'Thou shalt not kill' (Exodus 20:13) To even be in two minds about it is so selfish - stop thinking about yourselves! God has created this perfect human being inside of you that He has chosen to live.
    I have a 3 month old son who is the light of my world. If I found out there was something wrong during pregnancy there would be no way I would terminate. You DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE whether to terminate. Life is so precious!
    Abortion is wrong, therefore, because it is a failure to love, appreciate, and care for a human baby. It is also wrong because it constitutes the deliberate killing of an innocent human being. Therefore, deliberately killing it would be just as wrong as killing any other innocent human being.
    And when people make excuses to say babies dont feel anything, that is a load of crap. They feel everything what's happening to them.
    I suggest you look at a video to see exactly what happens during abortions and maybe that will change/SHOULD change your mind. I cannot look myself for I will break down in tears.
    Whether you believe in Christ or not, He will judge you on His great day when He returns. Do not let the powers of the devil take hold of you.

    Please you tube Gianna Jessen before you make any decisions. it isnt to condemn you, but to encourage you, just to show you the possibilities of who your child could be. This is out of love and compassion and a plea for your alive and beautiful baby inside of you. It is already loved, and is loving you.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPF1FhCMPuQ

  • Robert McGuinness - 14 years ago

    The choice should not be our or yours to make. Having a baby is not about your life, it's about giving life to another human being. If you would rather not take care of the child there are plenty out there who would. I hope that you see the bigger picture here, and realise that it is NOT ABOUT YOU.

  • Emma - 14 years ago

    This is absolutely DISGUSTING! You're deciding whether or not to kill your child! I voted for life, but eventually, your child will find out that you put up a poll on whether or not to kill it! You are so immature, leaving this decision to random strangers! I feel SORRY for your poor child! What have they ever done to deserve this?!

  • annoymous - 14 years ago

    Give birth to the child and give it up for adoption so he/she can go to a better home. Both of you are unfit parents and the baby does not need to be raised by irresponsible idiots. And please stop reproducing, get yourself fix. Damn ass!!!

  • angela - 14 years ago

    prolife all the way! it is still a developing human being and deserves a chance to live!

  • Penelope - 14 years ago

    You are going to leave the life of your child in the hands of strangers? I don't hate you two but this is really disturbing. I hope you think twice before taking these votes into consideration. This is a human life...a BABY with two beautiful eyes, an adorable little laugh, and a BEATING heart! If you don't want the child, give it up for adoption. There are MANY families that would love to adopt this sweet baby! INCLUDING ME!!! PLEASE! I am begging you! Do not take the life of this child!

  • Jackass - 14 years ago

    More niggers need to be aborted. Fucking niggers, why dont they work? ABORT THE FUCKING THING ALREADY!

    Fuck god, he is a homofag.

  • Teh Truth - 14 years ago

    God is a big dumb faggot and you are all even worse for believing in him. Hope you all get cancer.

  • Annakarina Petersen - 14 years ago

    About the poll - whatever is chosen its sad either way because you are both not sure about what it means to have a baby and be a parent - if you keep the baby!!
    And if you choose abortion then its sad that a human life is just being cast away like its garbage - especially when you think about there are so many couples who would even give their right arm to have a baby to love and will be great parents including myself.
    PLEASE make the right choice and have the baby, see if you can manage the great task of being a parent and if it does not work out for you both then give it up for Adoption! I have 2 boys and they are my life and i love them dearly, I would love to have more children but have been unlucky with miscarriages and 2 ectopic pregnancies. I live with my family in AUSTRALIA - yes your website has spread so far - PLEASE BE RESPONSIBLE AND MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE. And if its just fame you want then post a funny video on YOUTUBE do not take it out on your growing baby who is innocent.
    Regards Annakarina

  • Disgusted - 14 years ago

    This site and your quest is repulsive. What exactly do you hope to achieve? How can you possibly put a life in the hands of the internet population?? What hope does this poor little unborn child have? You people honestly, truly sicken me.

  • Anonymous - 14 years ago

    Abort the scum! The likes of you should be neutered to prevent the infection that is your genes from spreading.
    You are filth. Human waste.

  • Araeliz - 14 years ago

    Even if you have the baby, how do you think that he will deal with the fact that his life was VOTED for?

  • samantha - 14 years ago

    i was 18 when i had my first i was so scared that i was ruining my life and that i would be a terrible mother but the second i saw her those feelings completely went away, iam now 22 and had my second 8mths ago i love my life and my children more then anything i wouldnt change a thing.dont have an abortion the fact that you are even considering having the baby shows you want it you are just letting your fears control you. this website has gone around the world and back again the world has acnoliged this baby this decision should have been kept private if you decide to abort now it will just be wrong, you have so many offers for adoption have the baby if you dont feel the connection that most people do when they see their child for the first time find a caring loving family for him/her

  • Baby Protector - 14 years ago

    More appropriate if put up a poll asking if you both should kill yourself.

  • sue - 14 years ago

    one word for this poll SICK. You are just attention seekers and using your unborn child as the tool. I dont believe in abortion so I say you dont abort. But your child does not deserve parents like you. What an abominable example you are. You are both just so sick in the head.

  • Warragul - 14 years ago

    Hi, Congratulations.. I think. Interesting proposal here and I have stumbled across it through the media. I just wanted to offer my best wishes what ever you may decide. I have voted for a birth, although at the end of the day, how much of it is my decision is anyone's guess really.

    My own 2 cents for consideration, I never really wanted kids.. I wasn't outright opposed to them, there were just more exciting things on my radar, travel for one. Long story short, my wife fell pregnant ironically on return from an o/s trip. Whilst the decision to proceed was never up for question, I did ponder the meaning of life, the changes that would be thrust up on me, the fact that my child would celebrate his 21st birthday when I was celebrating my 60th....

    That all said, having just celebrated his second birthday, I wouldn't change anything for the world. A whole new perspective, plane of existence and environment opens up before you and it is the most wonderful thing. And although I've heard this plenty of times in my younger years .. no one has ever been able to detail it like reality itself. There's a part of me that wishes I hadn't waited till I was 40, but everything has a reason. At the end of the day, truly wish you both the best of happiness and contentment what ever the outcomes may be. Good luck and thanks for the opportunity to add my comment.

  • Alissa - 14 years ago

    I feel sorry for this child as they will never get past this if you decide to keep the baby with you. Everyone will know you as the parents who decided to let the internet decide weather you should have this child or abort it and one day, if you so choose to keep this baby and raise it he or she will find out what you have done. There will never be a way for you to hide this and all the news articles and posts related to it and the people who have read it and will never forget how horribly wrong you really are. I pray that God will direct you in the right choices in life for you and this innocent victim.

  • Ulandi - 14 years ago

    You two are idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can YOU decide that you want to abort your child! You have no right over that, its a miracle, God created that child and now you want to take it into your own hands and kill your child!! MURDERERS, thats what you are if you are going through with an abortion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Rather give that child up for adoption if you don't want to have it, at least he'll be alive and well and with a loving family that wil APPRECIATE him in many more ways that you will ever do!!!

  • Dustina - 14 years ago

    Whether this is real or fake either way it is very disturbing. There should never under any circumstance ever, ever be a poll to decide whether or not you should have a baby or get an abortion. Abortions are an abomination of God and is a horrible thing to do. It is MURDER! Every and any way you look at it. A child is a blessing from God and is a miracle! It is a tiny little life that you are carrying inside your body! Nurturing it, loving it and giving it life. Even though it is in the womb a baby, feels, dreams, hears, and thinks. Every time you feel it kick it is such an amazing feeling! If you do not want a child fine. Give it up for adoption. There are many families out there who love children but cannot have one of their own who would love to have a baby. Don't get an abortion. A suction abortion rips the baby apart!!! And he or she WILL FILL IT! Would you be able to handle knowing that the baby that you helped create suffered a horrible, painful agonizing death just because you are not sure if you are ready to be a parent or not. How would you sleep at night? My own pregnancy was not planned and I was no where near ready to be a Mom but you know what? I did it anyways. And being a Mother is the best thing that has ever happened to me. That baby is a living, breathing little life!! DO NOT PUT OUT THAT TINY FLAME OF LIFE! God has blessed you with the miracle that is a child and you need to see it as that.

  • Katie - 14 years ago

    This website breaks my heart! Honestly, I can't even imagine what the two of your are going through and how drastically this decision will change your lives forever. I know there are a lot of people who are very angry, upset, and saddened by this poll but ultimately this is a decision that you and your husband have to make together and not something that should be decided upon based on what everyone else is saying. I would take this child in a heartbeat if that meant he/she would have a chance to live. If you decide to keep the baby you will love him/her unconditionally from the moment the baby is born. All I can say is that I will be praying for you and your family and pray that you make the right decision.

  • V - 14 years ago

    I think you should give the baby life, and then CPS should take it away. NO REAL parent would do something as sick as you are.

  • pod - 14 years ago

    this is ridiculous that the two of yous have been allowed to concieve. how do you think that baby is going to feel if the vote does end up at 'give birth', growing up knowing the only reason it is alive is because members of the public had the sense of decency to save it. there are good people all over the world who struggle to have children, but after what is most likely some drunken mistake, you manage to concieve a child. yous are both sick in the head and i hope the child grows to realize how disturbed yous both are, yous do not deserve this and the only sane option is to give it up for addoption.

  • Ange Hardy - 14 years ago

    Well you have succeeded in getting attention, obviously that is what you wanted which I find very selfish, your poor child when they grow up and find out one day that you did such a thing........but you will work that out if you go through with the birth and it will be like a slap in the head when you love that child to death and realise it is not a game

  • Worth Speed - 14 years ago

    I am truly sorry for your loss of two lifes already through miscarraige, but please do not let that sway your decision towards abortion. You obviously wanted a child at one time and I am sure a child would help complete your family. Children are aborted everyday without thought given to what that child may contribute to mankind had he/she been allowed to live. That little life could grow to someday cure cancer, be a great inventor, become a great artist, or even be the one that helps carry this country to a higher plateau. We must stop throwing our children out with the trash, because in the end there is only pain.

  • Alice - 14 years ago

    This is disgusting. Please give your baby up for adoption....if you keep him and he ever finds this website then the pain you will cause him will mean he will wish he had been aborted.
    I hope he never knows that his parents cared so little about whether he lived or died as to leave it up to a public vote.
    You are both adults (30 years old for crying out loud!!), just grow up, take responsibility for your actions and let this little boy live and, in future, use contraceptive.
    You don't deserve to ever have children if it means this little to you. Give him to a couple who actually want him and will love him. He deserves this at the very least after what you have put him through before he has even been born.
    Please get rid of this website and stop the vote now.

  • Cassandra Strand - 14 years ago

    No matter what anyone says you will do what you want, but it really bothers me cause I gave up a child due to not being able to finanically support another child. I have 4 kids already and I knew that given my child up he would get what he deserved in life, to be loved, and to have the life he deserved. We still get to see him and get pics so it makes it a little easier. I gave my child to a couple that couldnt have any kids of there own and i see how much that ment to them. I dont understand that if you had 2 miscarriages and the pain from those why would you want to kill your baby that has made it this far?! If you are unable to support or care for this child let someone else. It really saddens me to hear about this...plus having people vote. My belief is that killing a helpless child is just wrong and cruel when there are other options. Your mother brought you into this world so why not give your child a chance???

  • Sonofa - 14 years ago

    Dumbass who posted something about /b/

    Now they will know the vote is being rigged atm

  • julie - 14 years ago

    first, i hope that this game is not real....i had an abortion at the age of 18. it changed my life forever. i will never, never get over causing the death of my child. that was in 1978 and i still desperately miss my daughter. at the time i was told my pre-born baby was a clump of cells and i believe them. as i look at your beautiful baby, it is obvious that it is not a clump of cells. this unborn baby had a heartbeat at 17-20 days old. it is not part of your body, it is inself a separate body living inside of your body. we are not to decide who lives and who dies. you will never regret having your child, but you WILL regret having an abortion everyday for the rest of you life!

  • Greg - 14 years ago

    I think you guys should KILL IT, do it a favor. Loving parents know when they want a child....

  • Stacy - 14 years ago

    We lost a little boy about 18 months ago, he was 17 months old. He was a surprise for us, I can remember being so scared that I just was not cut out for this, that I was to selfish, to old, to anything to take care of a baby. Turns out I wasn't, is a matter fact he just made me feel younger. It wasn't easy at first, but it certainly was worth every second of it. If you decide to abort then we would certanly like to adopt him. Hopefully, this will save my email addy.

  • thatperson - 14 years ago

    its funny how people post this on the internet and complain about trollz

    you should know yourselves if you want to abort
    frankly i'd want it aborted if it is disabled

    life is torturous and with disabilities it makes it a knightmare
    do you really want your child to live that knightmare

  • I hope you regret this now... - 14 years ago

    It must really suck taking all this public criticism. I really hope that it does, you deserve it. Thats meant in every way possibly. And if you don't feel stupid by now, you should. Oh, and you spelled "certain" wrong on the front page. Idiots.

  • Mary - 14 years ago

    So when your baby is born how are you going to tell him that his life was on the line through a vote? I think that would be amusing to watch. Have the baby and give him up for adoption because you two do not deserve to be parents.

  • Maria - 14 years ago

    I don't know what you both are thinking or feeling right now, but I can tell you that tonight, before I became aware of your site, I spoke with a new mom who also found herself in an unexpected pregnancy recently. She was moved to tears telling of the joys of motherhood, despite the challenges. Her 5 month old son was with her, and he is georgeous. Please, please look at the beautiful ultrasound pictures of your child that you have shared with us, and make a decision to give this child the gift of the next 22 weeks - the gift of life. If you don't feel that you are ready to raise him or her, there are so many couples out there who would love to do so. And if you do decide to raise him or her, you will expreience joys unmatched. Whether to parent or to choose adoption does not need to be decided immediately, you can take your time. But when you think about 22 weeks, it is such a short time (you have already been througth 17, which is almost as long) in order to save someone's life. What greater gift is there?

  • Disgusted Aussie - 14 years ago

    Have the baby and put it up for adoption immediately. You don't deserve to be parents and the child deserves better than you.

  • Ben - 14 years ago

    I have delibiratly not voted as I do not want to have a hand in this sad set-up. It's your desicion and you will have to live with it, that's how it goes. The best thing you can do is aknowledge that you are fearful of parenthood and that you will do your best to create a well rounded stable human who can be of worth to ther world. You are both lost as human beings who probably only love each others disfunction and that is what binds you togeather as you share the same feeble outllook. But to end on a positive, we choose life, we choose love, we choose the right way to do things and you have the ability the choose the life you want if not need, so you shouldn't be fearful of that.

  • Roy - 14 years ago

    adopt the child out after birth, you are clearly not mentally capable of raising a child. how is this child going to feel when they find out the decision to let it live or die you could not even decide yourself. they will hate you for the rest of their life and now there are thousands of people around the world who know the truth. are you going to have the guts to tell the child you could not decide if they lived or died or are you going to wait for one of the thousands of people around the world to tell them as you have destroyed any chance of anonimoty for that child and thrust them into the spotlight for the media and public to scrutinise. This is a form of child abuse and the Courts should step in and remove the child from you to at least give it some chance of a normal life with a normal family who know that they love the child.

  • Michael - 14 years ago

    Abortion would only make you the Mother of a Dead Baby! Don't do it!! Give it up for ADOPTION!!!!

    God, please wrap your arms around this child and protect him!! Amen!!

  • Jessica - 14 years ago

    I almost threw up when I read the article about your story. I believe in the right to choose, but I think that choice has to be made LONG BEFORE 16 weeks. Wiggles is a small baby now, not a blastocyst, or an embryo, or a cell. How long do you really intend to carry out this disgusting circus act? I am not trying to be hateful, but I feel that you are doing a disservice to people who do decide on abortion by exploiting the choice. And I think there is something deeply psychologically wrong with you two.

  • sawgay - 14 years ago

    I wish your parents aborted you.

  • passerby - 14 years ago

    My opinion....you guys are generating revenue from this site.
    More controversial the webpage --> the more internet traffic it attracts --> the more advertising revenue you raise.

  • Kerry - 14 years ago

    Please don't kill this baby. If you don't want it, I'll take it. My baby died 10 years ago and I can't have anymore. My husband and I can't have any children and I would love to be able to have a child. Just please, don't kill the baby.

  • Debbie - 14 years ago

    I lost a baby boy at 19 weeks. He was fully formed and beautiful!! Your baby has hair, eyelashes, a personality, jumps and plays, sleeps and laughs... your baby is ALIVE! Don't murder this child, give him to a couple who will give him a loving home.

    Heck, I'LL take him!!! Me and my man would love to have one. You DON'T know how blessed you are to be able to conceive!!! Get a grip and please don't kill this child!!

    I'll be praying for this beautiful child nightly!!

  • Pat - 14 years ago

    I understand that choosing to have a child is a difficult choice, but at the end of the day we are talking about the future of a human being. Their are organisations that fight for our freedom to express our believes, religion and even to have a fair trial but all of these freedoms mean nothing unless we have the freedom of life. No matter who we are, what we look like, where we come from or what we do, we all have the right to life, we all have a right to exist.

    It is true that caring and looking after a human being is expensive and a lot of hard work, it can even be painful but at the end of the day there is no greater joy than looking after that child of yours.

    God has given you a great gift. He has given you the ability to become a mother and father because He knows that the love of a mother and of a father is the greatest love that a person can ever receive in the whole entire world (with exception to God's unconditional love for us of course). If you were not capable of loving a person. as much as a mother and father love their child, then God would never have allowed you to become pregnant.

    Give birth to your child and love it as much as you can.

    May God Bless you and your child forever.

  • Harry Johnson - 14 years ago

    /b/ has raided you and you're ok with this?! People like you shouldn't breed. I vote "give it up for adoption".

  • courtney - 14 years ago

    I find this stupid that you have to do this and then your interview on the news was horrible there was no information why you were doing this. Yeah i get that you may need money that is why you had google help you out but that is just stupid!!!!! I aint gonna say that you should abort or save the child, I am pro choice! I will say this I have had an abortion and I regret it every day of my life. If I kept my child it would have been one year old today! My boyfriend and I celebrate the birthday! I just want you to really think about what you want and the possible guilt you might cause you and your family.

  • Aadi - 14 years ago

    Obviously you should do whatever you feel is right. THe whole concept of choice is just that. Having others choose for you is not a choice. The very fact that you are leaving this choice up to an online poll makes me think that you should not have the child. Obviously it's not important enough to you to have one. How do you think the child would feel if it ever found out that it owed it's life to the whims of strangers? This is ridiculous. People like you shouldn't have children.

  • Bec - 14 years ago

    I believe that everyone should have a chance at life, how can you think of not letting someone experience some of the things that you yourself have had a chance to? There is a saying, that you can choose your friends but not your family, and looking at what you are doing it is obvious that noone would choose you as family! You should have thought about whether or not you wanted to be a parent before now, as you obviously were trying to be on your third attempt! Give the baby up for adoption to someone who will actually appreciate the precious gift that it will be. Make your child and a family that have been longing for a miracle very happy. In future please think of the consequences of your actions before you do anything. I strongly recommend that you see a qualified counsellor as I can almost guarantee that from your past actions you will find it incredibly difficult to cope with what is going to happen in the future, whatever the outcome. There is so much more that I would love to say to you; but I am sure it's all been said already! I hope you really do read all of your posts!

  • F.O.A.D. - 14 years ago

    PREGNANCY.... THE WORST STD!

  • Michelle - 14 years ago

    You are 2 very sick and twisted people. How can you set up a poll about whether to kill your baby or give birth to it. Have you not heard of contraception?????? Its what people use until they decide they want a baby, not lets make a baby then decide if we want it. I hope childrens services come in and take that baby off you and give it to a deserving couple who will love it and not play a game with it's life for attention. You 2 should be make sterile and never be allow to have children, help us all if this baby turns out as dumb as you. Did you two not get enough attention growing up and need to put this on the internet to get people to notice you. Your child will find out that you have done this and will hate you and the world hates you!!! You are disgusting people.

  • Sam - 14 years ago

    In this country you have a right to choose. This right is yours and yours alone, not the public at large. You need to decide if this is what you want in your life right now, and if you have the resources to properly raise this child. As for my personal beliefs, if a women wants to have an abortion, who am I to have any opinion on this, however I think it should be done as early as possible before major development. I understand that you may have fears about your previous pregnancies, but seeing how far along you are I hope you consider adoption if this child isn't right for you at this point in your life. Whatever you decide I wish you the best!

  • Robin - 14 years ago

    At this moment, you are parents, whether you want to claim the title or not. The question is: Do you want a live baby or a dead baby? Because you are thinking of killing your baby before he/she has an opportunity to breathe on their own, I don't think you deserve to become this child's parents. Babies deserve to be loved and wanted, even before they are conceived. Yes, you should have this child, as you took responsibility to conceive. But maybe you should think of giving this precious child to adults who REALLY WANT to be parents. That is obviously not you. It is so beyond belief that "the state" allows parents to murder their own children and get away with it. You can't go murder your neighbor, or their children, but you are granted permission to kill your own child -- and there are plenty of people waiting to help you do this! Go figure.

  • Debbie - 14 years ago

    If you really are making a poll as to whether you should let you're child be born or not... You probably aren't going to be a good parent and should abort the child. Wait till Wiggles grows up and realizes what kind of poll you held. Are you going to have polls in the future like 'Should we send Wiggles to school or the basement for the next 12 years?

  • Warren - 14 years ago

    Was wondering if there is a poll on deciding weather you two should live? please send the link....

  • shmmn - 14 years ago

    hello i am writing from another part of the world and i belong to south-east asia. like you, i am also pregnant, but at 13 weeks now. i am 22, an undergraduate with another year to go before i graduate. furthermore, i am out of my home country right now and have been so for the past 5 months for a potential career cause. my partner and i also went through a tumultous period with the news, but abortion was always not the thing in my partner's mind. i considered it but i do believe there are heavy consequences. read up if u don't believe. take heed. if we are only 22 and can go ahead with this shocking news to our family and friends, i'm sure u are better able to. no one is born ready to start a family and become parents. but the child has come with some previous ties to you and your partner, so welcome him with your your gracious arms. he is a product of your love with your partner. all the best.

  • Sam - 14 years ago

    I am pro choice and I believe it is the mother's choice. However, if you really think you aren't ready, give it up for adoption. Why on earth would you plan two other pregnancies and then decide you are ready for this one? Have the baby. I have watched both my brothers and their wives try and try to have a baby. There are millions of couples out there who can't get pregnant. Let them adopt your baby!

  • Chris Graham - 14 years ago

    First off: If you decide to abort, I'm adding my name to the list of the 6% of people who will adopt if you don't go through with ending his or her life.

    Second: Isn't it kind of...like...sick...to let other people choose whether or not you end what is biologically a living (a fetus grows cells and turns food into energy, it's not dead) human (she's not a cat, not a frog, but human)?

  • Grace - 14 years ago

    not only is the fact you want to get an abortion to kill a poor, innocent child absolutely horrifying but the fact that you have put this on the internet and are letting the world decide weather to have an abortion is extremely horrifying and just wrong. I hope that you do not have an abortion and once your child is born you immediately put it up for addoption so it can go into the arms of a warm, loving and just normal family. Even considering an abortion is SICK!!

  • Liz - 14 years ago

    Why, if you really don't care whether or not your child lives, please just let the baby live and give it up for adoption. If you didn't want to have to make a decision, you should have taken precausions. I don't mean this in a mean or spiteful manner, I just think that toying with a life is cruel and the baby deserves a better life and environment where it will be raised in a loving, kind and plentiful home. How will this baby feel in 20 years when it finds out that you didn't really care so you left it in the hand of thousands of anonymous strangers? Thank goodness for the kind hearted people who are willing to adopt the baby and who are voting for you to have it, and to give it to someone who cares. Please don't try to have any more children. Ever.

  • Christina - 14 years ago

    I read your story online and I thought instantly what idiots. Please abort. As a couple, if you need this much attention or need help making an adult decision about having a baby - you don't deserve it or should be allowed to reproduce. There are to many infants, babies, and children in the system now who need caring and loving parents. I had to leave a comment because I am all for ending ignorance.

    I know several individuals will read my comment and discuss how dear I leave such hate or whatever but I truly don't care and won't return to read your decision or what others left.

  • Lynn - 14 years ago

    Abort??? ADOPT!!! You clearly do not have the capabilities of raising a child but please do not listen to these idiots and abort your living child just because you're too lazy to raise it. It deserves a life with parents who want them. Parents are clamoring adoption agencies for children, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE allow this child a chance and adopt them to a deserving set of parents.

  • Aleshia - 14 years ago

    This is really quite scary.. to think that people are giving the life of their baby up to a vote! I understand that you may be doing this as some sort of social experience.. but I just hope that if for some reason there are enough monsters out there who vote for you to abort this baby.. that you as a couple have some relization that this is a life and that it is the most wonderful thing that you will ever experience and that you should cherish it ... Not put it up for a vote. I find it apalling that you would place the life of your child up for a decision like this period.. but for the public to decide is even worse. I hope that you keep this baby and regret the decision to do something so horrid to your child... He or she will find out that this happened.. and it will hurt them. Believe me I know... my dad asked my mother for an abortion. It hurts!!!

  • Engela - 14 years ago

    Are you for real? I will echo what's been said before you let total strangers decide the fate of your baby, you look like a normal couple but maybe a bit sick and twisted under all that weight. One question what if you do decide to keep your baby and it grows up do you think your child is going to be ok, knowing mummy and daddy was on tv deciding whether to keep me or kill me while i'm alive in her tummy. I think you 2 need to come back to earth and go down on your knees and ask God for forgiveness because this is just not right at all, we are judged by our actions, this what you are doing really will not get you in heaven. Plus the fact that maybe a few years down the line you want to have a baby, do you deserve one then??? MMM i'd say a big fat NO!!

  • Criss - 14 years ago

    Have you considered the baby may survive the abortion? What will be your decision then?

    If you give birth to your child and raise him, how will he feel if he finds out how you decided to keep him?

  • Not Answering - 14 years ago

    I'm sorry, but, if you're willing to have a poll on whether or not to give the miracle of life, then I don't want to know what else you are willing to do. If you an incapable of making such an important decision, then you cannot possibly be capable of deciding simple things such as when to nurse, if you should nurse or bottle feed, if you should circumcise or not, if you should give him/her a real name or some really stupid made-up name, and so on and so forth. This is almost as bad as the president putting up a poll of whether or not we should bomb an entire country.

  • Melissa - 14 years ago

    I thought Iv seen and read some disturbing things in my life - but this takes the cake! You obviously dont want this baby and he/she is not going to want you as parents when they hear how their life began... if you dont want this child, give her/him to someone who does! Or abort, but dont drag the world into your sick mind games.

  • vic - 14 years ago

    I know some have given you a lot of flack for using a poll to aid your ultimate decision, but perhaps some of the comments you recieve from this venture will give you insight to parts of this debate that you would never have considered otherwise. I have voted that you 'not abort'. And this is not because i am anti-abortion, because i am not anti-abortion. I have had several friends who have gone thru the process and a sister who has gone thru it as well. I think they all were very happy to have such an option available but some have also regretted the decision. And still have after 10 or 20 years wondered if they should not have done it.
    The pressures of parenthood can be daunting, even overwhelming to consider. There is fear, hope, anxiety, dreams, disallusions, disappointments, joys....a complete change in your life. But LIFE has given you an opportunity to expand your love for each other into love for another. It will be the biggest challenge of your life, and no doubt large and small failures, large and small sucesses in the process. But you may become better people through the experience. Your soul will become a little fuller, and your ego selfishness will deminish some along the journey. If LIFE has given you this opportunity then have courage! Base your final decision on your heart's love, and not on your fears and this will lead you to the answer that is best for you, no matter what that decision is. Good luck and may blessing be yours, no matter what you decide.

  • Craig - 14 years ago

    Have the abortion at least that way there will be 1 less dumb fucking yank in this world. How fucking dumb are you yanks, having to ask the masses what to do and then having all those power mad/hungry Presidents that just want to tell the world what to do. Move to Afghanistan and go play over there in the country side that way hopefully you will never been seen again. If you end up having this kid then it will be fucked in the head with parents like you so save the kid from a totally fucked in the head life and get rid of it now.

  • E - 14 years ago

    I have been trying to get pregnant for over a year and 1/2 now and have suffered my first failed IVF cycle.

    I would give anything to be pregnant, so count your blessings that you have been bessed with a life inside you.... you might not have another chance...

  • Katie - 14 years ago

    I heard about your poll on my local news broadcast tonight here in Florida, and I just have to say that I am completely shocked and applaud at the same time. I just cannot fathom ANY reason(s) why a mature loving couple would want complete strangers deciding the fate of their unborn child. Mainly, because these people do NOT have your best interests at heart. Nor can they know whether or not what you are saying is just a ploy for attention, which is sadly working. My opinion for what it's worth is as follows. Everyone has a chance of conceiving a child with some type of birth "defect". Whether that defect is physical, mental or a combination of those there is literally a HUGE list of various defects that can occur. As to my personal view, if you truly had any reservations about having children because of an increased risk of birth defects (genetic or otherwise) that should have been discussed and determined LONG before now. NOT after you had already become pregnant for the 4th time. There are plenty of things you could have done to prevent another pregnancy. In fact, there are other things you could have tried in order to increase your chances of a healthy child, but you unfortunately and mistakenly didn't try those either. So, now, while you LITERALLY place the life of your future child in the hands of complete and total strangers because you're too unloving, uncaring and completely ignorant of what you are doing at this time. I have to ask you, What happens the day your child asks you if you've always wanted them and loved them ? What happens when you're child stumbles upon this website or printouts from your "craftiness" as to whether or not they should have been born ? How will you explain that you placed their life in the hands of a "jury of YOUR peers" and even the those who are NOT your peers as if they are a serial killer ? On the chance you decide to have an abortion could you live with the fact that you PURPOSELY killed your own child because you were scared the child might now be "perfect" ? Could you then live with your choice after having heard this child's heart beat and after feeling this innocent life moving thanks to your protection ?

    I am saddened to learn that you've somehow were blessed with one of nature's most sacred and wondrous things, the ability to conceive and bear children, doesn't mean you should use something such as this poll as a platform to decide the fate of this beautiful miracle. Every child that is conceived should have the chance to live as you, I and everyone else in this world has been given. Yet, unfortunately you do not appreciate, care, or realize just how miraculous this opportunity is and how blessed you are to be given another chance at motherhood. Based on that alone you should give this child to a couple who will do the right thing and love this child unconditionally. It's obvious your love is not the unconditional and you should not try to have any other children after this one because of your lack of love for the one you now carry. I also ask that you PLEASE have a Hysterectomy done so that you do not place any other children you and your husband might conceive in this same, unloving, disrespectful, immature and unwanted situation.

    I IMPLORE YOU TO PLEASE NOT KEEP THIS CHILD WITH THE CONDITIONS YOU'VE NOW PLACED UPON HIM/HER. BECAUSE AS THINGS STAND RIGHT NOW YOU'VE ALREADY SUBJECTED HIM/HER TO A DEATH SENTENCE JUST BECAUSE THEY MAY NOT MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS AND THAT IS UNFAIR TO HIM/HER AS HE/SHE DESERVE EVERY CHANCE TO LEAD AS NORMAL LIFE AS POSSIBLE NO MATTER IF THEY MAY BE BORN WITH A DEFECT!!

    *** NOTE *** ALL Couples have a chance of a child being born with some form of birth defect and so a pregnancy should not be discriminated against just because there is a chance. If you knew you were at a higher risk of a child being born with some form of birth defect then you should have had a Hysterectomy performed to prevent any and all futur

  • Crystal - 14 years ago

    give it up for adoption, you really dont seem like parent material. letting strangers vote on your babys life is just sick. leave it to the last possible second if you are going to abort?? youse are sick freaks

  • anon - 14 years ago

    This is sickening. How can you look at an ultrasound of your BABY and even CONSIDER abortion? What kind of sick people are you? You don't deserve to have this miracle. Have it and give it to a LOVING couple who would never even consider killing it. Some people can't even have children, yet you are actually considering selfishly aborting this child.

    Gee, I wonder how this baby is going to feel when they grow up and realize that you left it's fate in the hands of strangers on the internet? I wonder how your child is going to feel knowing that you considered murdering him or her? Get a life and realize that a baby shouldn't be something that you throw away. Babies deserve to be loved and cherished....not sucked out of you like trash.

  • Claire - 14 years ago

    This child has developed too far, this is just disgusting, use contraception! Making a new life is not a joke. You are not fit enough to be parents, you should give the child life and put him up for adoption for someone who wants him. You will be a high risk for child abuse.

  • megan - 14 years ago

    You guys are terrible people! But go ahead and enjoy your 15 minutes of fame for being selfish, dumbass, rude, cruel,ignorant, piece of shit people!
    I DID NOT VOTE EITHER!!

  • anonymous - 14 years ago

    keep this baby because what you're gonna od is a MURDER. for god's sale your child can feel the pain already, have mercy!
    when you give birth to your son, please, go get sterilised you both! IDIOTS

  • Beth - 14 years ago

    You people need to google pictures of aborted babies. Just because it has not been born does not mean that it is not a real life. Everyone of those pictures are horrific pictures of murder. The fact that you can see it and hear it and still considering an abortion is just mind boggling to me. It is the most selfish act I can think of. You wouldn't give birth and then kill your baby and get away with it. It is no different. That baby can feel its limbs being torn apart just as if I were to do that to you now. The only reason I can think of that either of you would even be considering this is that you have no soul or conscience. I believe in womens rights, but I also believe in the rights of that unborn baby. If you are not ready to be parents, or never want to be, then you should be taking extreme caution to not get pregnant!!! There is no magic to giving birth that makes that baby any less of a person whether in the womb or not. You may have had 2 miscarriages, but that shouldn't be the reason you are considering abortion. This might be your only chance to have a baby and you are blowing it!!! If you do make the decision to have an abortion, you could be throwing your only chance of having a baby of your own away. Are you ready to take on the guilt you will be feeling afterward? Cause you will. It will consume you, and you will think of it every day. I hope you realize (and not to late) that this is a precious little life you have inside of you, and it will give the greatest joy you will ever experience. Don't throw it away!!!!!!

  • Cathie - 14 years ago

    What a pathetic and disgusting ploy to get your 15 minutes of fame. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Have another poll.. are you guys tossers? The baby does not deserve you guys as parents. HOWEVER DOES NOT MEAN ABORTION. GIVE THE BABY A FIGHTING CHANGE AND GIVE HIM TO A FAMILY THAT WILL LOVE AN CARE FOR HIM. I swear to god I hope your child does not see website as this is DISGUSTING

  • Likeyoucare - 14 years ago

    Idiots, I am ashamed to live in the same city as you. When I see you at the zoo with the baby, when you have it, I will be very tempted to yell out "Hey! Didn't I see you on the news!" Then look at your child and say "THIS is the baby you were thinking of killing?" but I will not. Give the baby up for adoption, this is sick, sick, sick.

  • die - 14 years ago

    You both deserve to be locked away.

  • Tess - 14 years ago

    A child's life is way to precious to be voted on. I do believe that if you are this unsure about a decision at this stage, that you would most definitely come to regret an abortion in the future . Every parent to be is nervous and anxious about what the future will hold with a new baby on the way, it gets better, everything falls in to place, and the second your baby comes in to this world, none of your concerns will matter, because everything will make sense.

  • Anna - 14 years ago

    Mr and Mrs Arnold, If you read this, PLEASE do not abort your baby!!! If you don't want to become parents, PLEASE consider ADOPTION! There are THOUSANDS of couples out there who would love a baby and who cannot conceive, please consider this option! Abortion is not an answer!

    I WILL ADOPT YOUR BABY! Please don't kill him!

  • Kirsten - 14 years ago

    Please don't kill your baby. Your baby is a person and deserving of respect and dignity. I will keep you in my prayers.

  • tracy - 14 years ago

    you fucking pieces of shit... you make me sick, you dogs don't deserve to bring any child into this world, how the fk can u justify sacrificing the life of an unborn child, u r doing this to draw attention to yourselves... you pair of fat dogs i hope you both rot in hell

  • Chilli - 14 years ago

    I'm not the only one that believes it is a sad fact for you to post this poll up. Most people here despite their beliefs feels that uncomfort. Whatever your choice is, how can you tell your baby when he/she is born that his/her life was in jeopardy by the public? I don't know what your true intentions are.. but if testing the public is part of that... then depending an innocent baby's life on it is not worth it. I hope you reconsider. God bless.

  • Adz - 14 years ago

    I take it the point of this poll is to show that at the point you can legally have an abortion in your state the unborn baby is quite well developed, but this is in disgusting taste, and I feel sorry for any children you have, to have you as parents.

  • St. Cloud - 14 years ago

    I can not believe that you have a poll on this. This baby needs to be born and given up to a family that really wants it and doesn't need to have apoll make there choice. If you choose to have this baby I hope that someday you can explain what you where thinking and I hope that kid gets up and never talks to you to again! I am so against abortion and you two are horriable people and need to find God! Please....have this baby and give it up because again you don't deserve to be parents. You are pathic!

  • Carolina G.R. - 14 years ago

    Please have this baby. It is a living breathing little piece of both of you. Do not make the mistake of murdering your child. That is just wrong. If this is just a hoax I can see what point you are trying to make but please put this site down. Abortion is a very touchy subject for many people and if this is fake than you are getting them all worked up. If you are trully pregnant then please do not kill an innocent child, it didn't do anything wrong. All it has done is be conceived. I am fourteen years old and may not really understand the motherhood thing but if I ever do get pregnant I would never kill my baby. Please reconcider what you are doing. Just puting up this website is hurting your baby. Imagine in a few years when people tell him that the only reason he is alive is that an internet site voted it that way.He will be devastated. Think about your parents? Are they okay with you putting the life of their grandchild up for voting? I can understand how you may be afraid for the responsibility of taking care of the baby, but in that case you should have used some kind of protection even do in a way it is stopping a baby from being able to have a chance for life in the first place. If you do not want to care for the child then give it up for adoption. It is the very least you can do for him. Do not snatch his life away from him, because that is what you are doing if you have an abortion. Let him live, let him have a loving home and be happy. Being a parent maybe hard and I see my mom struggle somtimes but she has always tried her hardest to make us happy. My sisters and I love her to death and we would do anything for her. Are you sure you want to put that kind of love at risk? Please really really think about this. A baby is a gift from God and only he has the right to take its life away. I am praying for both of you and your baby, and I hope that God changes your mind and stops you from making a big mistake that you may regret later on in life. Please do not murder your child.

  • Keith Keller - 14 years ago

    After hearing about this site from a Facebook status posted by one of my good friends I hurried to this site, not knowing what to expect. My thoughts and feelings on this subject are very strong, and I must say that I am very glad to see that the polls have shifted toward birth. I don't know if much I will say will help your decision or your thoughts or feelings, but I just hope that this will be read and understood. You see, I believe that life is the most precious gift ever able to be given, and I also believe that this gift can only be given by God. Perhaps God had reasons for your previous two miscarriages, and maybe he will again for this baby (though I pray for the alternate). But, the decision of life for this baby is only for God to ultimately decide. If you are meant to have a baby then you will, and if not then you will not. You may not know why, but God does and it is all you can ask that whatever He sees best for you and your family be done. I almost see it as a good sign that this baby was unplanned by you because I believe that every choice in life (especially bigger ones) should be decided with the help of God, for He knows all and will always lead you toward the right one. I am unsure of your religious backgrounds, but I encourage you both to take up a strong relationship with Christ, not only for your sakes, but also for the possible future life of your baby. I am hopeful for you and your future, and will pray for you all and for the life of your baby. God bless.

  • CJL - 14 years ago

    Let's let the baby vote. Who are we to arrogantly think we should decide, as parents or public. This little baby is already a created miracle, being knit together in the womb. We don't have the power to create life. We don't have the right to kill innocent life. Let him live, be born, and be adopted into a loving home that respects the miracle of life.

  • Caroline - 14 years ago

    OMFG!!!! DON'T EVEN DARE ABORT YOUR BABY!! YOU ARE WAY TOO FAR ALONG, IF U REALLY DON'T WANT THE BABY WAIT TILL YOU GIVE BIRTH AND GIVE THEM UP FOR ADOPTION. I AM SICKENED...... I HAVE HAD 4 BABIES, OUR 3RD BABY WAS STILLBORN AT 38 WEEKS WHICH WAS SO HEARTBREAKING. YOU PEOPLE ARE REALLY SICK FOR DECIDING ON KEEPING OR NOT KEEPING A BABY AND THATS WHAT IT IS A BABY, I MEAN OMG A POLL CAN U NOT SEE HOW BAD THIS WILL LOOK IF U DO KEEP THE BABY ONCE THEY ARE WITH YOU. BUT I THINK IF U WANTED TO ABORT, DON'T DO IT AFTER 12 WEEKS, I THINK ITS SO DISGUSTING AND APPALLING IF U ARE ALLOWED SUCH LATE ABORTIONS UNLESS ITS FOR A REAL MEDICAL REASON. SICK SICK PEOPLE, HAVE THE BABY AND GIVE IT UP YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE PARENTS ANYWAY.

  • Lllllll - 14 years ago

    I'm pro-choice. If you don't want a baby, then abort, if you do want a baby then keep it. If its got a serious disease/disability then abort it.

  • Kevin Clark - 14 years ago

    Hi Guys. I feel your pain. being a parent is an exciting yet scary thing. I am a father of 5 and I got increasingly severe panic attacks after the birth of each child. By the time our youngest was 2 or 3 I was on medication because of the stress I was under from the responsibility of being a parent. I can understand the fear that might precipitate the construction of such a website. I am now 58 years old, me younger is 17 and I have 5 grand children and I would not change anything. I can not possible imagine what life would be like without the joy that each of our children have bought. As far as not being ready to be a parent is concern, I don't know that anyone is. We read all the books and went to all the classes and thought we were prepared. We Weren't. After we had had the experience of having one child, we thought we were better prepared. We weren't. Our third pregnancy in 1985 was twins. They were still-born at 19 weeks. Two perfectly formed little boys we named Timothy and Steven. We were definitely not prepared for that. However, In the midst of all this there come a grace for you to cope with whatever comes along. Someone once said "God never gives you more than you can handle". I can testify from experience how true that is.

    Experts will tell you that mothers (and even fathers) that go through an abortion can suffer immense guilt, grief and regret for many years afterward. I would like to encourage you. Give this little one a chance of life and you will not regret it. - Kevin Clark, Canberra, Australia
