You have created a life. This is not your decision or anyone elses. It is God's decision. That being said, I do not believe that you deserve to be parents!!! Have this baby and give it to a family who wants a child but cannot have one. This is a slap in the face to ppl trying to concieve with no luck!!! SICK!! You ppl are sick!! God has taught us not to judge but I am having a hard time with that in this situation!!! Another thing, why would you wait till the last very second to abort??? Do you know that there have been studies that prove that an unborn fetus especially that far along can feel the pain of an abortion?? What if your parents had aborted you???? GROSS!!!

Give birth to this child instead of murdering it and give it up for adoption! Otherwise look forward to an eternity in hell.

You are both sick in the fucking head. You should give this poor child up for adoption to somebody that will love it. I really think you are both disgusting.
Katie - 14 years ago
This is the most ridiculous publicity stunt I've ever seen! I think you should have the baby and be forced to give the child up for adoption. In a number of years, can you imagine how this child will feel knowing that it's life possibly hung in the balance while the general public decided it's fate. You people are ridiculous and should be ashamed of yourselves!

initially i decided not to vote, then realised that this unborn child, to unthankful parents who are so selfish that they think they are not ready despite having had miscarriages before might only have online votes to thank for its survival

Abortion is murder; God is creating your child, in your womb, as you consider killing him. How can you be so savage? Lord willing, this child will be born, but it will not be without consequences. Someday he will know that his mommy and daddy put his life in the hands of total strangers. How would that make you feel? To know that your parents considered ending your life soon after it began. If you kill him, you will be guilty of murder, and you will never recover from the emotional scars that will be left behind. If you do not want your baby, put him up for adoption. That way he will have a life with people that truly love him. It sad to think of all of the loving couples that want children and cannot have them; yet, there are people like you that throw there children away. Children are the blessing of God Almighty; they are the result of the love that is shared between a man and his wife. I pity the extend of your "love". To quote Reagan, "I'm glad my parents didn't believe in abortion." Words cannot describe the depth of your depravity. Do not do this thing; repent while you still have the chance.
d.s. - 14 years ago
if your not ready for a baby give it up for adoption there are way to many families out there that cant have kids and would love to have a baby... and since the baby is healthy there is no reason to murder that poor kid its not a rape baby and theres not risk of either one dying then theres no reason to murder the poor child its not there fault you got pregnant so dont kill he/she give he/she a chance at life

You clearly lack the maturity to be responsible parents (or adults it would seem). Please abort. No child deserves this lack of respect.
Bev Carlson - 14 years ago
If you have to ask the opinion of others about the birth of your child & whether it should LIVE or DIE, then you should not have the baby. Go ahead and KILL. your baby. Or.....have the baby and give it up for adoption to a couple that wants a baby! I have four children and never took a vote. Everyone of them precious and special in their own way. You do not deserve to keep this baby!
Amber - 14 years ago
Why would you bother getting pregnant if you had doubts about going all the way? I don't think you are fit to be parents. What are you going to tell that little boy if he does have the chance to live? You know sooner or later he is going to find out you were so careless with his future. If you don't want the child, give birth and give it away. There are so many people that struggle with infertility on a daily basis, including myself. These people would do just about anything to have the opportunity to bring a chilid into this world. To love and raise and care for. I would gladly and open heartedly take that responsibility any day. You and others like you have no right to be a parent ever.
Jennifer - 14 years ago
This is sad. Maybe it is your way of dealing with your history, however not in any way appropriate. As someone who has struggled with infertility, I cannot believe anyone would ever think and behave how you are by posting this "Vote" on your blog. Go to counseling; talk to your friends and family about your fears. Do no post a "should the baby live or die" poll next to the blog post about he/she growing eyelashes.
Sherry - 14 years ago
Fuck those people who 'can't have babies'-PLENTY of kids in the system already need families. Why aren't you 'give it up for adoption' types ever concerned about the wanted and BORN kids. Stop breeding pro-life and you can adopt all the kids you want want to 'save' from abortion. Don't add to the problem, abort the parasite you don't want.
Lindsey - 14 years ago
Put this child up for adoption. You have already shown you are both unfit parents. I would not trust you to watch a cockroach. You are sick, unfit, disgusting and a disgrace to the human race. Should you decide abortion, the best approach might be a shotgun to your own head. Maybe for a flash second you might be able to feel the pain endured by your BABY. Let's just call it what it is at that stage... A BABY!!!

If you decide to murder this tiny thriving baby then I hope both of you are severely tortured physically and mentally and then beaten into subconsciousness. While in a coma I hope a night shift nurse unplugs your life support. Before you are embalmed I hope some sick fuck sodomizes your corpses. After your disgusting corpses are buried in a shallow grave I hope a dog shits on you. Both of you suck whether this is a joke or not.

What a bunch of FOOLS, both you and the people who posted comments about "Let the baby live" etc... This whole thing is OBVIOUSLY FAKE. How sad that instead of working toward improving the world, you decided to post garbage like this and troll for attention. Your ISP should abort you.
I think it is awful that you would even have a site to have people decide whether or not you should keep your child! Obviously if you can't decide on your own if you want to MURDER your child or keep it then you aren't fit to be parents in the first palce... I don't believe in abortion but if you choose not to keep your baby I hope you would choose adoption over abortion! And if you do keep your baby are you going to tell him/her that they better thank the world for voting becasue if they didn't you would have killed her/him?
SM - 14 years ago
I do hope that if you guys decide to have the baby that someday he/she finds out you played with his/her life like this.
I am a pro-lifer, but since you don't have enough sense to decide this yourself, please give the child to a loving home. A home that doesn't crave the approval or decision of a poll to decide the child's fate.
slf - 14 years ago
My grandson died in the womb and was delivered stillborn this past Monday at 19 weeks. He was a fully formed beautiful little boy who was very much loved. Please have this baby and give it up for adoption. You have no respect for life and it is clear you do not love this baby. If you did this poll would not even exist. It is also clear you do not have faith in God. Please seek religious counseling. This baby deserves to be born and raised by parents or a single parent who LOVES him/her. PLEASE choose LIFE--chose ADOPTION.

I wonder how you would feel if your own parents treated your lives so frivolously...how would you feel to find out that your own life could have been ended at the click of a button?. I hope for your poor child's sake that you do indeed decide to give birth, to save it from the agony that has been scientifically proven for a fetus to endure at being aborted at such a developed stage of pregnancy.. I also hope for your child's sake that the authorities take that innocent baby from you as soon as it is born, you do not deserve to have a baby that so many people in the world would give their own lives for.
I have 2 questions for you:
Firstly, Why leave the 'abortion' date for such a late stage in pregnancy? We live in a modern world, fetal development is well documented and I am sure you are not aware of the consequences and pure torture you will put your child through if you abort it at this stage in pregnancy. Why not do it sooner if you were going to do it? It's just cruel.
Secondly, Why on earth would you believe that putting your own lives and that of an unborn baby in the hands of a computer poll is sane, let alone 'a good idea'. It's people like you that fill out our mental hospitals and keep psychiatrists very minted.
I think you need to seriously think about the state of your own lives and i hope your own parent's treat you with more respect than you do to your own child, at least then there's no-one else to blame for your sickening state of mind than yourselves!
Rachael - 14 years ago
This must be a joke, a very sick joke. But since I dont know for sure that this is a joke, I voted. Please give birth to this child, but please strongly consider giving this baby up for adoption. You clearly do not love this child or want this child so please dont murder give life.

Whether this is a serious poll or not- you have absolutely NO business being a parent. If you don't want this kid at least give it up for adoption. Don't make this child pay just because you aren't mature enough to be a parent. I could care less what liberals say or believe- life starts at the moment of conception. Your baby can feel pain and as a pediatric doctor I feel abortion is on of the crulest and most selfish choices a parent can make. Any doctor that is okay with performing abortions in my opinion is a total hypocrite- doctors are here to help perseve and save lives not end them prematurely. If you allow a stupid internet poll to decide your childs fate and have an abortion I hope the decision eats away at you and haunts you for the rest of your life!

I just want you to know that I am praying for your family. I pray with all my heart you will choose to allow your baby to continue in life. Whatever choice you make I just want you to know that Jesus loves you. I am not saying this lightly, he loves you with an unimaginable love, whatever your choice. My heart hurts for you over the previous loss of your babies. I know how scary it is to try again and maybe you are so worried you will get excited only to loose another baby.Your ultrasound looks amazing I know when you see that beautiful beating heart something in you hopes for tomorrow. Just think of who this baby is, who he will be. I heard in Bible study the other day, you never know who you are parenting. This child you are carrying has his entire future ahead of him waiting for him. Who knows what a blessing he could be to this world. May God bless you, I will keep you in my prayers.
Devora - 14 years ago
I understand the fear that comes with havinglost a baby before. We lost three between our son and daughter and it was very hard, emotionally, to get pregnant again. Even though we had discovered what the problem was and were doing everything in our power to make sure this fourth attempt grew into a healthy happy baby, most of the excitement had worn off and was replaced by all my fears. Wasn't I, at 38, too old to have a healthy child? Did I still have the energy to have another baby, let alone take care of her? Did we really have the money to take care of another child? I guess I would ask myself this if I were you: were you excited the first time you were pregnant? Could you envision yourself being a nurturing mother during that first pregnancy? If the answeer is "yes", then know those excited feelings will return. I work full-time, my husband is disabled and unable to work, my elderly parents live with me, and my 14 year-old granddaughter just moved in with us this fall. My hands are full to overflowing, but my Maya, my miracle baby that I was so afraid to have, is the sun in my sky, but it took me bringing her home from the hospital and seeing her survive to her first birthday for me to relax and believe she was really meant to be mine.
If, however, you were ambivalent about having kids in the first place, then you should seriously reconsider having this baby. You need to weigh the pro's of having children ( they give unconditional love, they make us more patient and compassionate, they challenge us to bite our tongues, they give us the gift of helping someone reach their full potential) against the con's (parenting is a 24-7 job, children are expensive - on average costing $700/month, children are dynamic - as soon as you've figured one problem out, they grow into a whole new set of complications).
Final thoughts: Don't let fear prevent you from having the baby you really want, or don't let guilt force you into having a baby you don't really want.
KB - 14 years ago
In my humble opinion, you should probably have the child, then give it up for adoption to a family who would be much better parents (human beings) than you both. And after you have the baby, you both need to be sterilized so you can no longer reproduce. How sick are you people? I am pro-choice, but for the life of me cannot fathom why anyone would put their unborn child's life up to the vote by strangers. I really hope this is a joke... (a sick joke).
Elizabeth - 14 years ago
This baby has a hope for a great future, and at the least has the right to decide for himself whether to live or die. However, I would encourage you to put this baby up for adoption, since this poll makes me think maybe you don't have the wisdom and love needed to be a good parent.
Aren't you glad your parents didn't opt for abortion? If you feel like life is hopeless and not worth living, there is hope for you! God loves you and wants you to have a full and rich life as you live for Him. I know it doesn't make sense that your life can be better when you yield it to God, but it's true! There is help! There are people out there who want to help you find meaning in life. Call Wooddale Baptist Church in Minneapolis and ask to talk to a counselor. God loves you and wants you to have more in life than living selfishly for yourselves. If you want to talk about this more with me, e-mail me! May you seek God's wisdom! Liz

After reading your article I can see that you have some concerns about parenthood, who doesn't?? Let me tell you, you will have NO regrets, let me repeat myself NO REGRETS the moment you meet your precious bundle. You will wonder what the heck you were thinking about the possibility of having an abortion. I am shocked by the rudeness of the comments listed above. Now, I may not necessarily agree on what you are doing with the whole polling thing, but I do think that you do not deserve the awful awful comments written by the folks that are all for you having an abortion. It's interesting to see the difference in comments from the folks that are for abortion, they are all hateful and angry and the ones that want you to keep the baby are not calling you names and swearing. If you choose abortion you will be living that hell the rest of your life, believe me. Not a day in your life will go by without you thinking about the child you murdered. It will consume you, you will not live a normal life after that. I know! Depression will set in, it may be temporary it may be permanent, it may sneak up on you on and off. You will cry yourself to sleep for the rest of your life. You will be keeping track of the milestones that would have been. Birthdays, first day of school, when he/she would have learned to ride a bike, middle school, high school, graduation, college, what profession, how many kids your child SHOULD have had, etc. It will haunt you to your dying day. Choose life, even if you decide to give the child up for adoption! That child matters! and deserves the right to be born!! Prayers are on the way for you and the child! God Bless you and the baby! I said baby, not fetus! BABY!!
pro life or pro choice? i would be pro choice but your the kind of people that make me want to say that someone should bemaking your choices for you. not abortion vs life...but the choice to get pregnaut or not....yea it was your choice to spread them, if you cant take responsibility for your actions then what the fuck were you thinking, its not the first time you were pregnant i guess some people never learn, an online poll? seriously ? that baby would be better off an orphan just wait till he/she is older and finds out what dumbfucks its birthparents were
Elle - 14 years ago
I just wanted to let you know that women who have abortions suffer physical and emotional, not to mention spiritual damage. they regret having killed their babies. Sometimes not right away, but eventually they regret it and then for the rest of their lives. I don't want you to suffer this torment because of convenience. I have many friends who aborted years ago and they still feel terrible about it. God only gives us what we can handle, and he equips us to handle everything he gives us... please make the choice for Life...

My husband and I have a two year old son named Leif. Our pregnancy was very unplanned, I was taking birth control and we were the lucky percentage that it didn't work for! However different from the original plan our lives have been, Leif is the best blessing either of us could have ever imagined! He's such a character :) Don't you wonder what Wiggles will be like? What will their laugh sound like? What will their hugs feel like? Don't be afraid, their love gives you reserves of strength that you never knew you could have. I bet a lot of people are praying for you... I am!
Every day we are presented with the choices of life and death, and here they are. In the most fully exposed way humanity could possibly find them. The Word Of The LORD tells us to choose Life. Not just for us, but for our children and our children's children. It also tells us to choose Life for those who can not choose it for theirselves (aka. this beautiful child). However, this world tells us more and more to choose death. Weather for reasons of hatred, selfishness, or some sick form of humor. What ever the reason death is never the path we should take. No matter what you two believe please,PLEASE, remember. A child is a gift, a gift GOD gives us for a future we will never see. Children are a parents legacy. They are eternally ours as we are eternally theirs. Just as we are our parents and they are ours, forever. I pray that you choose Life for this child. Your parents chose it for you. GOD BLESS.

At 4 weeks I saw and HEARD my daughter's heart beat. Whether you want to believe it or not, there is a little person inside you AND there is no reason NOT to have the baby. Now I am not saying you need to keep it because maybe child raising is NOT for you but there are TONS of people in this country who want children and can't have them. At least give your little person a chance to grow up as someone else's child if you don't want them and while you are giving birth (you can opt for a c section these days) have your tubes tied so you don't have this situation happen again. If you go with adoption usually the adopting family will foot the medical bills and birthing costs. Again no reason not to have it but maybe LOTS of reasons not to keep it after it is born.
Jude - 14 years ago
The fact that you have already named the baby a pet name says that there already is an attachment. There are thousands of people who would love to adopt a healthy baby and with an open adoption you could still be a part of his or her life and still keep you "selfish ways". I pray that you choose life because it is the right thing to do and think about making a permanent change such as getting your tubes tied so this doesn't happen again.
Jennifer - 14 years ago
I seriously hope this is a joke. You really can't be so sick that you would the fate of your child in someone else's hands? Do you know how many thousands of people want to have children, and can't? You don't know what that feels like. I DO. Please, have this baby and let a loving family adopt him or her. You're sick people and should not have children.
loz - 14 years ago
You are sick and this is disgusting. Shame on you both. There are people out there who can not have children and you post this over the web. I myself have 2 serious miscarriages and an now uble to concieve, you should be shot Karama will get you. Your little boy is already a person maybe you should watch some videos on how developed he already is. your decsion to wait until the last minute based on the public is shameful. but what can I say only in america! you retard. Second of all if you need to create a poll to decide the fate of your unborn baby boy you clearly should be practising safesex and you should have been sterilised or be sterilised immediately. You've been pregnant twice before and had miscarriages and you have reached the mark where most women are nervous of whether they will keep there child or not and you want to kill him if the "public decide!!!!" Everyone has a right to vote but when you are deciding about a life where that person has no control over you are being inhumane. And putting scans of the baby up, is that for your sick pleasure? Seriously, why would you do that if you don't have feelings attached to your boy already? Or are you that sick that you want a reminder of what could of been? I agree with abortion depending on circumstances but stop being immature. You're 30 years old not 13 and regardless of your career and aspirations you shouldn't have got yourself in the situation in the first place. Have your baby boy, don't destroy his life before he's born and let someone who will care and love the boy adopt or foster him, at least he's got a chance because to have you as parents is clearly not the right thing for the child. You're immature, disrespectful, pathetic and immoral. Grow up and get in the real world!

This is the sickest thing I have ever heard of....take responsiblity for your actions and get a grip! If you didn't wanna get pregnant then wear protection...grow up!!!!! I can't believe this is an actual poll...I saw this on the Daily Mail website in UK....I mean come on this is a life your playing with and regardless of the reasons to keep or not to keep....they should be made in private. If I had anything to do with it and you have the baby I'd take it off you....what will the next poll be....feed the baby or starve the baby? We can't decide so lets get everyone involved?! OMG this has really pissed me off. Selfish fuckers.....if you do decide to have an abortion...go JUMP INFRONT OF A BUS....so you die aswell....your not fit to have a life growing inside you.

after i have read your "news" in the internet, i was shocked and in a Cantonese saying, i "O mouth", meaing startled and unbeliveable. you know, if one day your parents tell you that the reason you came to this world is because over 30thousand of people around the world pursuade them to do so, but not their own will, what would you think? or how would you feel? you are here is not becuase the love of your parents but instead, thousand of strangers say YES to a poll.
Is it your authority to judge whether the baby should be born or not?! It is NOT your right. but God HAS. Baby is a life afterall, right? so please, let the infant live. PLEASE, dont abort it.
If you have any worries or concern or whatever in your mind that stop you from letting the child live, seek help. what about you parents? Do not let your impulse overwhelm the whole thing.
i'll pray for you two, and of course, the little infant. : )

If you have put the life of your baby up for debate, then you do not deserve the right to have this child. I do not know how you can see the baby on ultra sound, hear the heart beat, and still consider ending it's life. My vote is for you to deliver the child and let it bless the life of somebody who deserves it. I am pro choice but I am also a mom and I find this whole website deeply disturbing. If you only knew how much this tiny heart beat would mean to somebody who cannot have children, you would never have started this site. I think you are only using this to become infamous. Shame on you, so much pain and horror in this world, you have to add your own twisted bit.

I may be pro-choice but am generally against abortion so if a friend or someone I knew asked me this question I would probably say Birth.
But what kind of sick fuck would leave a decision like this up to an internet poll?
What the heck is wrong with you people?
You should not be raising a child if you are seriously asking this question.
So I voted Abort.
This is probably a hoax anyway, but I just wanted to explain this as this kind of thinking may influence the poll results.
freeload_master - 14 years ago
All of you people ranting that one side or the other is wrong need to shut your friggin' traps. All of this is a matter of opinion, and while this means you are free to post yours, the same right extends to everyone else. And you do not have the right to tell anyone else that their opinion is outright wrong. Not everyone has the same morals, and just because you believe it doesn't mean you can impose it on everyone else
Personally, I am pro choice. The decision whether or not to have a child is between a couple (or single woman, as the case may be) and their/her doctor. And if they would like to ask others for their opinion, well, that's entirely up to them as well. This poll is not immoral, and from what I've read on their site, these are not bad people. Especially on your points about 4chan, I say good for you guys! The internet hate machine is no different than the political hate machine. If you do decide to have the child, I think you'd do a fine job raising it to be an intelligent, free-thinking person.

I'm glad to see so many morally correct responses. And so it goes with the vote. I am having better feelings about the public in general. But this vote and lack of value by the parents on a human life as evidenced by putting this vote up is stunning and ugly. Turning this decision into a crass public display of hedonism and psychopathic narcicism can only show a complete lack of character. There is no moral compass for these two. I hope you two seek counseling and mental health screening.

if you keep the child...i wanna be there when you try to explain to him when he's older that you put his life on the internet to be decided by a strangers vote...real great people you two are....theres a special place in hell for people like you.

I hope that you have the child and choose to give it up for adoption, to people who will not put it's fate in the hands of the internet.

I could've been an a aborted baby...my mom had one abortion she didn't tell me about until I was an adult. Her decision to abort that child left a lasting negative effect on her. Had she not been so scared and known she, herself, was born out of wedlock, she would've made a different decision. I'm not here to bash you as others have, I am just a survivor stating I have so much to give to the world because of my birth...and so will yours...whether you know it now or not.

You should be thankful that you can have babies. Theres are thousands who don't conceive and would love to hold a baby in their arms. Ridicolous.

You people need to have this baby!! I recently had a miscarriage,and there is no way in HELL I would think of aborting!!! Go look at some pic of aborted babies at your babies age,and then hopefully you can think twice about this. Couples miscarry several times before having a healthy baby! This is absolutly absurb what you are doing! Its a life that you are carry in your body!! Shame on you for doing this. May God have mercy on your soul.

My only hope is that you are simply staging this to cast light on the horrors of abortion. Even then, this whole thing would be pure selfishness. Online bidding on human life--wickedness that could send you to hell.
Natalie - 14 years ago
SERIOUSLY!!!??? Wow why the hell would you leave a decision like this up to other people?! If you didn't want to be parents you should have been on birth control! The thought of abortion sickens me! & why the fuck would you wait this god damn long for one in the first place!? Either you want a baby or you don't. Give it up for adoption! Do you have ANY idea how hard it is for some people to even get pregnant?!!! I would die to have a child & you're thinking about letting other people decide if you should fucking kill it???? What the fuck is wrong with you two?! If you abort this child I PRAY that you NEVER have the chance to conceive EVER AGAIN!!! You truely sicken me!!!!!

I hope for the sake of your baby boy that you people get a head on your sholders. How can you post about the development of your baby and feel your baby moving then still plan to allow strangers to decide whether or not you stop your baby's beating heart. How can you feel your baby moving and still be open to ending his little life?
How can you not become attached to this baby?
This is the single most digusting thing I've ever had the misfortune of seeing in my life. I hope for your little one's sake that you don't murder him. Sadly though....that little boy will know what you did one day. Nothing ever disappears completely off of the internet because of how quickly things go viral.
One day your child will know just how little your cared about him.

I don't know why everyone is so worked up about this ,abortion happens every day in the US and Europe funded by our tax dollars and many times to children who are fully formed (partial birth abortion) the fact is that this couple shows the crude reality of abortion and the fact that it is premeditated murder on a person that cannot defend his or her self. I live in NY and NYC wants to show people with cancer and tumours on cigarette advertising yet most people would rather ignore the ugly side of "choice" that ignores the rights of the child and the father ,both of whom (especially the child) have a stake in the decision made by the judge jury and executioner. Most would rather think of abortion as a sanitised procedure which is why they cannot stand to see with their own eyes that what they removed was human and it was a child .I believe in true choice which is based on ALL the facts and no fairy tales and believing that what is being removed and destroyed is a lump of cells is a lie meant to assuage the consciences of those who take the uninformed choice ,especially those who take it for frivolous reasons.
Now I am not saying that this is solely a women's problem because in many cases women want to keep their child and are either forced or coerced to abort by gallivanting (usually older) womanisers who impregnated her.
Alas we are endowed with free will and if they choose death they are in their God given right to do so and will answer for their actions in due time all we can do is confront them with the crude reality of what they're doing and hope they make a truly informed CHOICE!

You know, after *two* miscarriages, you think you guys would treat this baby as a gift.
I am pro-choice, but this is ridiculous. Choosing abortion is a PRIVATE decision, and its individuals like you that give the pro-lifers more evidence for their argument. It sickens me.
Don't let the government take away MY RIGHTS because you decided to be assholes. If you can't treat this baby like the miracle it is, after losing two other children, give it up for adoption. At least someone like myself will be able to treasure your child.
Kimberly - 14 years ago
This is absolutely ridiculous. You people are completely selfish and irresponsible. Either get an abortion or, if you do decide to give birth to this child, please put it up for adoption so that it can have a normal life. Do you realize what you are doing to this baby? If you give birth, what are you going to tell it when it asks you how it was born? "Well, sweetie, your daddy and I weren't really sure whether we wanted you or not, so we decided to poll the internet to decide whether or not we should abort you, and they told us to give birth to you, so we did!" You are selfish, immature, childish, and do not deserve to ever be parents. Think of all the women out there who struggle with fertility problems and desperately want to conceive. Do you realize what you are doing to them? If this is a serious poll: Grow the fuck up and think of someone other than yourself. If this is a sick joke: Grow the fuck up and think of someone other than yourself. End of story.

burn in hell,but I'm telling you if this child is developing do not do that please.You really
should have thought of this when you laid down and I don't get putting this to a vote.
I didn't get to vote when you laid down and had sex.People don't excercise COMMON SENSE.

Please consider giving the child for adoption. Take the responsibility - you agree to have sex, then agree to be responsible about the consequences of sex - and death is not being responsible no matter how young the fetus. It's a way out. LOADS of people around the world would LOVE to have a chance to have children of their own. Having kids is an honor.Please please look for a responsible family/couple who would want and love and take care of the baby.

As a long time counselor and advocate forthe preborn, this ranks right up there with one of the top ten most disgusting things I have ever heard. I hope for the sake of your souls, this is just some type of publicity stunt. If it is, you both need to repent for being so callous regarding the life of your son, who was made in the image of God. Ultimately, He is the one who is being mocked! Maybe you don't believe in Him, but you will one day; Judgment Day!
I plead with you to stop this nonsense, and allow your child to live. If you show him no mercy, God will show you none. One day someone may roll a set of dice to see if you should live or die. If you won't love him, I would be glad to take him and raise him in a loving two parent Christian home. And believe me, he will be taught to love and respect life, from the womb to the tomb.

I'm not sure why you'd want to "poll" on the internet to make a decision to murder and innocent life or not. Whether you believe it or not, God has woven together that child inside of you and gave it a soul on day one of conception. Why on earth would you want to destroy what He created in you, a precious gift from the creator himself! That child is not a cancer that you need to have cut out of your body, it's a living person who needs you to help it grow. God has a plan for the life of that child that has already been mapped out for her or him. Don't even consider taking that away from the child or God. This is a heart decision between you toe and God, not a head decision based upon an internet survey results. Try praying about it. If you've never prayed, it's as simple as talking to God like you would anyone else. Keep you heart open and that's where you'll hear His will for this child. My God Bless you richly with a child who will be a world changer!

amy - 14 years ago
honestly its your choice weither or not you have this child but think of the consequences of this. and if you deside to have the baby are you going to plaster photos and take a poll saying should we keep the child or not??? there are plenty of people out there who can adopt for they cant have children then here you are thinkingig its a game of chance everyone comes on this eath for a reason and just becouse the child is unborn does not mean its not a child for its still a growing human being thats in your body..... as a mother i find this quite apolling for i have two wonderful children both surprizing but none the less a joy .... it was a very rough road tons of complications and for that i cant have anymore kids..... i hope you look in your heart and see whats right it shouldnt matter what we say only you can make that desition but i realy hope you deside to keep the child, try to remeber why would you get an abortion ending a childs life.... before it even begins its not the childs fault it didnt deside to be born so why punish the baby. not only that but god does everything for a reason and there are plenty of recorces that can help.. this in my opinon is just plain childish and stupid

I have never seen such a disgusting display of human life that you two decided to put in a blog. There is no amount of salvation to redeem yourselves from this. You give a bad name to parents, Americans, Libertarians and and humans altogether. Why don't you do something useful like sterilization and buying a treadmill. Obviously, creating life is not for you.
Oh, and bitch can't carry full term because she is morbidly OBESE. How you haven't given birth to a Big Mac yet is beyond me. Some people should not be allowed to procreate.

You have already miscarried two babies, why would you even consider to abort? Do you know that Jesus has your two little babies that you miscarried in Heaven but if you kill this child you will never see any of the children that have died. I plead the blood of Jesus over this sweet little baby girl who is very much alive, Father I pray strength to her Mother and Father that you will give them the wisdom and courage to see this pregnancy through the entire course. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen
Carrie - 14 years ago
PLEASE WHEN YOU HAVE THIS CHILD- PLACE THE CHILD IN ADOPTIVE HOME WHICH DESIRES IT.... I don't want to pass any judgement about the type of people who would do something like this... maybe it was a fluke decision that wasn't well thought out before you did it. People make mistakes. But for you to keep a child that you could so easily kill and throw away like garbage and then to have him/her find out about it later (BELIEVE ME THE CHILD YOU HAVE WILL KNOW ABOUT THIS NO MATTER WHAT) is just so devastating. Let the baby be with someone who has desired a baby from day one so the child will know they are loved and wanted by someone even if it wasn't their biological birth parents.
alesha - 14 years ago
Abortion is murder! But to sit here and post ultrasound pics, adn how your doc appt goes, to allow the world to decide the fate of this innocent child, YOUR SICK!!!!! I pray GOd gets ahold of your heart, and IF you abort, I pray God allows that child to survive! What will you tell your child when born? "Oh, you're only alive because of an internet poll"! You should not be allowed to raise a child!!!!!!
Oh, dear parents to be...please so not abort this precious baby boy's life. Even if you do not believe you wish to carry and parent, PLEASE make an adoption plan for him. That is a courageous act of love on your part, and one that will be such a blessing to a couple who desperately wants to give your baby a family. After coming to know Jesus as my Savior, the best thing I ever did in my life was become a mother. I thank God everyday for my sweet husband and our two beautiful children. We lost two babies which are now in Heaven; one at 6 weeks and one at 16 weeks gestation. I know a couple that would LOVE to adopt your little one if you choose not to parent him...and even if they didn't want to....we would adopt him. Your little boy is a gift from God and has an awesome God-ordained destiny to fulfill. PLEASE let him live. :-D Love to you and prayers ! "Before I formed you in your mother's womb, I knew you and called you by name...I ordained you to be a_________ (Jeremiah 1:5)
You have created a life. This is not your decision or anyone elses. It is God's decision. That being said, I do not believe that you deserve to be parents!!! Have this baby and give it to a family who wants a child but cannot have one. This is a slap in the face to ppl trying to concieve with no luck!!! SICK!! You ppl are sick!! God has taught us not to judge but I am having a hard time with that in this situation!!! Another thing, why would you wait till the last very second to abort??? Do you know that there have been studies that prove that an unborn fetus especially that far along can feel the pain of an abortion?? What if your parents had aborted you???? GROSS!!!
Is this where I order the pizza?
Give birth to this child instead of murdering it and give it up for adoption! Otherwise look forward to an eternity in hell.
You are both sick in the fucking head. You should give this poor child up for adoption to somebody that will love it. I really think you are both disgusting.
This is the most ridiculous publicity stunt I've ever seen! I think you should have the baby and be forced to give the child up for adoption. In a number of years, can you imagine how this child will feel knowing that it's life possibly hung in the balance while the general public decided it's fate. You people are ridiculous and should be ashamed of yourselves!
initially i decided not to vote, then realised that this unborn child, to unthankful parents who are so selfish that they think they are not ready despite having had miscarriages before might only have online votes to thank for its survival
Abortion is murder; God is creating your child, in your womb, as you consider killing him. How can you be so savage? Lord willing, this child will be born, but it will not be without consequences. Someday he will know that his mommy and daddy put his life in the hands of total strangers. How would that make you feel? To know that your parents considered ending your life soon after it began. If you kill him, you will be guilty of murder, and you will never recover from the emotional scars that will be left behind. If you do not want your baby, put him up for adoption. That way he will have a life with people that truly love him. It sad to think of all of the loving couples that want children and cannot have them; yet, there are people like you that throw there children away. Children are the blessing of God Almighty; they are the result of the love that is shared between a man and his wife. I pity the extend of your "love". To quote Reagan, "I'm glad my parents didn't believe in abortion." Words cannot describe the depth of your depravity. Do not do this thing; repent while you still have the chance.
if your not ready for a baby give it up for adoption there are way to many families out there that cant have kids and would love to have a baby... and since the baby is healthy there is no reason to murder that poor kid its not a rape baby and theres not risk of either one dying then theres no reason to murder the poor child its not there fault you got pregnant so dont kill he/she give he/she a chance at life
birth...then give the baby up for adoption. you don't deserve it.
You clearly lack the maturity to be responsible parents (or adults it would seem). Please abort. No child deserves this lack of respect.
If you have to ask the opinion of others about the birth of your child & whether it should LIVE or DIE, then you should not have the baby. Go ahead and KILL. your baby. Or.....have the baby and give it up for adoption to a couple that wants a baby! I have four children and never took a vote. Everyone of them precious and special in their own way. You do not deserve to keep this baby!
Why would you bother getting pregnant if you had doubts about going all the way? I don't think you are fit to be parents. What are you going to tell that little boy if he does have the chance to live? You know sooner or later he is going to find out you were so careless with his future. If you don't want the child, give birth and give it away. There are so many people that struggle with infertility on a daily basis, including myself. These people would do just about anything to have the opportunity to bring a chilid into this world. To love and raise and care for. I would gladly and open heartedly take that responsibility any day. You and others like you have no right to be a parent ever.
This is sad. Maybe it is your way of dealing with your history, however not in any way appropriate. As someone who has struggled with infertility, I cannot believe anyone would ever think and behave how you are by posting this "Vote" on your blog. Go to counseling; talk to your friends and family about your fears. Do no post a "should the baby live or die" poll next to the blog post about he/she growing eyelashes.
Fuck those people who 'can't have babies'-PLENTY of kids in the system already need families. Why aren't you 'give it up for adoption' types ever concerned about the wanted and BORN kids. Stop breeding pro-life and you can adopt all the kids you want want to 'save' from abortion. Don't add to the problem, abort the parasite you don't want.
Put this child up for adoption. You have already shown you are both unfit parents. I would not trust you to watch a cockroach. You are sick, unfit, disgusting and a disgrace to the human race. Should you decide abortion, the best approach might be a shotgun to your own head. Maybe for a flash second you might be able to feel the pain endured by your BABY. Let's just call it what it is at that stage... A BABY!!!
Keep your baby! Please do not abort! I am at a loss for anymore words!
If you decide to murder this tiny thriving baby then I hope both of you are severely tortured physically and mentally and then beaten into subconsciousness. While in a coma I hope a night shift nurse unplugs your life support. Before you are embalmed I hope some sick fuck sodomizes your corpses. After your disgusting corpses are buried in a shallow grave I hope a dog shits on you. Both of you suck whether this is a joke or not.
There's no a logical reason to abortion. I'm not speaking about religion. That embryo is a creature different from you; his dna is different. Think about it.
Give birth, and for goodness sake, give it up for adoption. As a couple struggling with infertility for three years, I am appalled at this website. You are clearly not cut out to be a parent. If you're interested in a great couple adopting your child, you've got my email.
can not beilieve you would consider aborting... on the opinions of strangers, at this age of gestation.
HORRIFIED.
Especially after looking at the ultrasound pics of your little "alien' as you so kindly put it.....
I wrote from Chile, is really sad, read such notice like this ;s
here in my home we celebrate life, we united in face to catastrophes
human and nature made´s
if my vote count
have a birth
I give to our world a little boy or girl
with a pourpose!
What a bunch of FOOLS, both you and the people who posted comments about "Let the baby live" etc... This whole thing is OBVIOUSLY FAKE. How sad that instead of working toward improving the world, you decided to post garbage like this and troll for attention. Your ISP should abort you.
FOOLS, all of you.
I think it is awful that you would even have a site to have people decide whether or not you should keep your child! Obviously if you can't decide on your own if you want to MURDER your child or keep it then you aren't fit to be parents in the first palce... I don't believe in abortion but if you choose not to keep your baby I hope you would choose adoption over abortion! And if you do keep your baby are you going to tell him/her that they better thank the world for voting becasue if they didn't you would have killed her/him?
I do hope that if you guys decide to have the baby that someday he/she finds out you played with his/her life like this.
You should be ashamed.
I am a pro-lifer, but since you don't have enough sense to decide this yourself, please give the child to a loving home. A home that doesn't crave the approval or decision of a poll to decide the child's fate.
My grandson died in the womb and was delivered stillborn this past Monday at 19 weeks. He was a fully formed beautiful little boy who was very much loved. Please have this baby and give it up for adoption. You have no respect for life and it is clear you do not love this baby. If you did this poll would not even exist. It is also clear you do not have faith in God. Please seek religious counseling. This baby deserves to be born and raised by parents or a single parent who LOVES him/her. PLEASE choose LIFE--chose ADOPTION.
I think it is awful that you would even have a site to have people decide whether or not you should keep your child! Obviously if you can't decide on your own if you want to MURDER your child or keep it then you aren't fit to be parents in the first palce...

And if you do keep your baby are you going to tell him/her that they better thank the world for voting becasue if they didn't you would have killed her/him?
I would totally adopt your child- there are plenty of people out there that would welcome a baby into their home... I'm throwing my hat in the ring.
You two are the biggest LOSERS in the world. The kid will be embarrassed of you forever.
I wonder how you would feel if your own parents treated your lives so frivolously...how would you feel to find out that your own life could have been ended at the click of a button?. I hope for your poor child's sake that you do indeed decide to give birth, to save it from the agony that has been scientifically proven for a fetus to endure at being aborted at such a developed stage of pregnancy.. I also hope for your child's sake that the authorities take that innocent baby from you as soon as it is born, you do not deserve to have a baby that so many people in the world would give their own lives for.
I have 2 questions for you:
Firstly, Why leave the 'abortion' date for such a late stage in pregnancy? We live in a modern world, fetal development is well documented and I am sure you are not aware of the consequences and pure torture you will put your child through if you abort it at this stage in pregnancy. Why not do it sooner if you were going to do it? It's just cruel.
Secondly, Why on earth would you believe that putting your own lives and that of an unborn baby in the hands of a computer poll is sane, let alone 'a good idea'. It's people like you that fill out our mental hospitals and keep psychiatrists very minted.
I think you need to seriously think about the state of your own lives and i hope your own parent's treat you with more respect than you do to your own child, at least then there's no-one else to blame for your sickening state of mind than yourselves!
This must be a joke, a very sick joke. But since I dont know for sure that this is a joke, I voted. Please give birth to this child, but please strongly consider giving this baby up for adoption. You clearly do not love this child or want this child so please dont murder give life.
Both of you parents: how in the world can you do something like that? How about we place a poll on you, and, decide whether you live or not after you make the final decision on whether you abort or not? Shame on you!!!
Gianna Jessen...search her name, listen to her story, learn a little lesson....EVERYONE should do this.
I think we should let your child decide whether to kill you or not.
Whether this is a serious poll or not- you have absolutely NO business being a parent. If you don't want this kid at least give it up for adoption. Don't make this child pay just because you aren't mature enough to be a parent. I could care less what liberals say or believe- life starts at the moment of conception. Your baby can feel pain and as a pediatric doctor I feel abortion is on of the crulest and most selfish choices a parent can make. Any doctor that is okay with performing abortions in my opinion is a total hypocrite- doctors are here to help perseve and save lives not end them prematurely. If you allow a stupid internet poll to decide your childs fate and have an abortion I hope the decision eats away at you and haunts you for the rest of your life!
I just want you to know that I am praying for your family. I pray with all my heart you will choose to allow your baby to continue in life. Whatever choice you make I just want you to know that Jesus loves you. I am not saying this lightly, he loves you with an unimaginable love, whatever your choice. My heart hurts for you over the previous loss of your babies. I know how scary it is to try again and maybe you are so worried you will get excited only to loose another baby.Your ultrasound looks amazing I know when you see that beautiful beating heart something in you hopes for tomorrow. Just think of who this baby is, who he will be. I heard in Bible study the other day, you never know who you are parenting. This child you are carrying has his entire future ahead of him waiting for him. Who knows what a blessing he could be to this world. May God bless you, I will keep you in my prayers.
I understand the fear that comes with havinglost a baby before. We lost three between our son and daughter and it was very hard, emotionally, to get pregnant again. Even though we had discovered what the problem was and were doing everything in our power to make sure this fourth attempt grew into a healthy happy baby, most of the excitement had worn off and was replaced by all my fears. Wasn't I, at 38, too old to have a healthy child? Did I still have the energy to have another baby, let alone take care of her? Did we really have the money to take care of another child? I guess I would ask myself this if I were you: were you excited the first time you were pregnant? Could you envision yourself being a nurturing mother during that first pregnancy? If the answeer is "yes", then know those excited feelings will return. I work full-time, my husband is disabled and unable to work, my elderly parents live with me, and my 14 year-old granddaughter just moved in with us this fall. My hands are full to overflowing, but my Maya, my miracle baby that I was so afraid to have, is the sun in my sky, but it took me bringing her home from the hospital and seeing her survive to her first birthday for me to relax and believe she was really meant to be mine.
If, however, you were ambivalent about having kids in the first place, then you should seriously reconsider having this baby. You need to weigh the pro's of having children ( they give unconditional love, they make us more patient and compassionate, they challenge us to bite our tongues, they give us the gift of helping someone reach their full potential) against the con's (parenting is a 24-7 job, children are expensive - on average costing $700/month, children are dynamic - as soon as you've figured one problem out, they grow into a whole new set of complications).
Final thoughts: Don't let fear prevent you from having the baby you really want, or don't let guilt force you into having a baby you don't really want.
In my humble opinion, you should probably have the child, then give it up for adoption to a family who would be much better parents (human beings) than you both. And after you have the baby, you both need to be sterilized so you can no longer reproduce. How sick are you people? I am pro-choice, but for the life of me cannot fathom why anyone would put their unborn child's life up to the vote by strangers. I really hope this is a joke... (a sick joke).
This baby has a hope for a great future, and at the least has the right to decide for himself whether to live or die. However, I would encourage you to put this baby up for adoption, since this poll makes me think maybe you don't have the wisdom and love needed to be a good parent.
Aren't you glad your parents didn't opt for abortion? If you feel like life is hopeless and not worth living, there is hope for you! God loves you and wants you to have a full and rich life as you live for Him. I know it doesn't make sense that your life can be better when you yield it to God, but it's true! There is help! There are people out there who want to help you find meaning in life. Call Wooddale Baptist Church in Minneapolis and ask to talk to a counselor. God loves you and wants you to have more in life than living selfishly for yourselves. If you want to talk about this more with me, e-mail me! May you seek God's wisdom! Liz
This makes me sad. Some people would love to have the ability to hear a heartbeat in an ultrasound.
After reading your article I can see that you have some concerns about parenthood, who doesn't?? Let me tell you, you will have NO regrets, let me repeat myself NO REGRETS the moment you meet your precious bundle. You will wonder what the heck you were thinking about the possibility of having an abortion. I am shocked by the rudeness of the comments listed above. Now, I may not necessarily agree on what you are doing with the whole polling thing, but I do think that you do not deserve the awful awful comments written by the folks that are all for you having an abortion. It's interesting to see the difference in comments from the folks that are for abortion, they are all hateful and angry and the ones that want you to keep the baby are not calling you names and swearing. If you choose abortion you will be living that hell the rest of your life, believe me. Not a day in your life will go by without you thinking about the child you murdered. It will consume you, you will not live a normal life after that. I know! Depression will set in, it may be temporary it may be permanent, it may sneak up on you on and off. You will cry yourself to sleep for the rest of your life. You will be keeping track of the milestones that would have been. Birthdays, first day of school, when he/she would have learned to ride a bike, middle school, high school, graduation, college, what profession, how many kids your child SHOULD have had, etc. It will haunt you to your dying day. Choose life, even if you decide to give the child up for adoption! That child matters! and deserves the right to be born!! Prayers are on the way for you and the child! God Bless you and the baby! I said baby, not fetus! BABY!!
pro life or pro choice? i would be pro choice but your the kind of people that make me want to say that someone should bemaking your choices for you. not abortion vs life...but the choice to get pregnaut or not....yea it was your choice to spread them, if you cant take responsibility for your actions then what the fuck were you thinking, its not the first time you were pregnant i guess some people never learn, an online poll? seriously ? that baby would be better off an orphan just wait till he/she is older and finds out what dumbfucks its birthparents were
I just wanted to let you know that women who have abortions suffer physical and emotional, not to mention spiritual damage. they regret having killed their babies. Sometimes not right away, but eventually they regret it and then for the rest of their lives. I don't want you to suffer this torment because of convenience. I have many friends who aborted years ago and they still feel terrible about it. God only gives us what we can handle, and he equips us to handle everything he gives us... please make the choice for Life...
I hope you get what you deserve.
My husband and I have a two year old son named Leif. Our pregnancy was very unplanned, I was taking birth control and we were the lucky percentage that it didn't work for! However different from the original plan our lives have been, Leif is the best blessing either of us could have ever imagined! He's such a character :) Don't you wonder what Wiggles will be like? What will their laugh sound like? What will their hugs feel like? Don't be afraid, their love gives you reserves of strength that you never knew you could have. I bet a lot of people are praying for you... I am!
You two are sick.
Every day we are presented with the choices of life and death, and here they are. In the most fully exposed way humanity could possibly find them. The Word Of The LORD tells us to choose Life. Not just for us, but for our children and our children's children. It also tells us to choose Life for those who can not choose it for theirselves (aka. this beautiful child). However, this world tells us more and more to choose death. Weather for reasons of hatred, selfishness, or some sick form of humor. What ever the reason death is never the path we should take. No matter what you two believe please,PLEASE, remember. A child is a gift, a gift GOD gives us for a future we will never see. Children are a parents legacy. They are eternally ours as we are eternally theirs. Just as we are our parents and they are ours, forever. I pray that you choose Life for this child. Your parents chose it for you. GOD BLESS.
Please don't kill your baby.
Give birth, and then put him up for adoption.
At 4 weeks I saw and HEARD my daughter's heart beat. Whether you want to believe it or not, there is a little person inside you AND there is no reason NOT to have the baby. Now I am not saying you need to keep it because maybe child raising is NOT for you but there are TONS of people in this country who want children and can't have them. At least give your little person a chance to grow up as someone else's child if you don't want them and while you are giving birth (you can opt for a c section these days) have your tubes tied so you don't have this situation happen again. If you go with adoption usually the adopting family will foot the medical bills and birthing costs. Again no reason not to have it but maybe LOTS of reasons not to keep it after it is born.
The fact that you have already named the baby a pet name says that there already is an attachment. There are thousands of people who would love to adopt a healthy baby and with an open adoption you could still be a part of his or her life and still keep you "selfish ways". I pray that you choose life because it is the right thing to do and think about making a permanent change such as getting your tubes tied so this doesn't happen again.
I seriously hope this is a joke. You really can't be so sick that you would the fate of your child in someone else's hands? Do you know how many thousands of people want to have children, and can't? You don't know what that feels like. I DO. Please, have this baby and let a loving family adopt him or her. You're sick people and should not have children.
You are sick and this is disgusting. Shame on you both. There are people out there who can not have children and you post this over the web. I myself have 2 serious miscarriages and an now uble to concieve, you should be shot Karama will get you. Your little boy is already a person maybe you should watch some videos on how developed he already is. your decsion to wait until the last minute based on the public is shameful. but what can I say only in america! you retard. Second of all if you need to create a poll to decide the fate of your unborn baby boy you clearly should be practising safesex and you should have been sterilised or be sterilised immediately. You've been pregnant twice before and had miscarriages and you have reached the mark where most women are nervous of whether they will keep there child or not and you want to kill him if the "public decide!!!!" Everyone has a right to vote but when you are deciding about a life where that person has no control over you are being inhumane. And putting scans of the baby up, is that for your sick pleasure? Seriously, why would you do that if you don't have feelings attached to your boy already? Or are you that sick that you want a reminder of what could of been? I agree with abortion depending on circumstances but stop being immature. You're 30 years old not 13 and regardless of your career and aspirations you shouldn't have got yourself in the situation in the first place. Have your baby boy, don't destroy his life before he's born and let someone who will care and love the boy adopt or foster him, at least he's got a chance because to have you as parents is clearly not the right thing for the child. You're immature, disrespectful, pathetic and immoral. Grow up and get in the real world!
Yes, do not kill your little baby... we would adopt your baby if you put it up for adoption. I am serious and you can email me. Your baby needs love not a brutal painful death.
The data obtained by this poll is unreliable. I was able to vote more than once without doing anything special to my browser.
Save the poor little life, please. if you are not confident to raise the beautiful baby, for the baby's future, let a happy family adopt the little angel.
I'm hoping that you will do the self-less act and if you are not ready for this baby - THOUSANDS of people are waiting to adopt. My Husband and I have one adopted son. We are in love with him and he is our world. If you can't give this to your child, please help another couple who can't have kids. My Husband and I are willing to adopt again. I'm not able to have kids and these stories break my heart. Please contact me if you want to talk. God Bless.
This is the sickest thing I have ever heard of....take responsiblity for your actions and get a grip! If you didn't wanna get pregnant then wear protection...grow up!!!!! I can't believe this is an actual poll...I saw this on the Daily Mail website in UK....I mean come on this is a life your playing with and regardless of the reasons to keep or not to keep....they should be made in private. If I had anything to do with it and you have the baby I'd take it off you....what will the next poll be....feed the baby or starve the baby? We can't decide so lets get everyone involved?! OMG this has really pissed me off. Selfish fuckers.....if you do decide to have an abortion...go JUMP INFRONT OF A BUS....so you die aswell....your not fit to have a life growing inside you.
You people are absolutely twisted and sick in the head. When I heard about this I didnt believe it, I had to come see for myself. May you rot in hell. God save that poor innocent child who will either be murdered or be cursed with evil unloving parents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The ability to get pregnant and stay pregnant is not always easy as you have already experienced. And you have already admitted that your reasons for an abortion are purely selfish so please give another couple who cannot have children of their own the opportunity to raise your precious baby if you choose not to keep it.
Please have the baby. I would love to adopt it and give it everything in the world- love, laughter, the best education, opportunities, world travel. I know A LOT of other people who feel exactly the same way. If you are looking for adoptive parents, please be in touch.
Please have the baby. It didn't choose to be conceived and at this point has no say in the matter. S/he has every right to be born and contribute to the world. This Saturday I will celebrate my 45th wedding anniversary. My five kids and their five kids will be in attendance. I can't imagine life without them. They are my contribution to the world. You now have your chance to do the same. My prayers are with you and your unborn. Blessings, Dave
after i have read your "news" in the internet, i was shocked and in a Cantonese saying, i "O mouth", meaing startled and unbeliveable. you know, if one day your parents tell you that the reason you came to this world is because over 30thousand of people around the world pursuade them to do so, but not their own will, what would you think? or how would you feel? you are here is not becuase the love of your parents but instead, thousand of strangers say YES to a poll.
Is it your authority to judge whether the baby should be born or not?! It is NOT your right. but God HAS. Baby is a life afterall, right? so please, let the infant live. PLEASE, dont abort it.
If you have any worries or concern or whatever in your mind that stop you from letting the child live, seek help. what about you parents? Do not let your impulse overwhelm the whole thing.
i'll pray for you two, and of course, the little infant. : )
If you have put the life of your baby up for debate, then you do not deserve the right to have this child. I do not know how you can see the baby on ultra sound, hear the heart beat, and still consider ending it's life. My vote is for you to deliver the child and let it bless the life of somebody who deserves it. I am pro choice but I am also a mom and I find this whole website deeply disturbing. If you only knew how much this tiny heart beat would mean to somebody who cannot have children, you would never have started this site. I think you are only using this to become infamous. Shame on you, so much pain and horror in this world, you have to add your own twisted bit.
Please have that little baby. Have an ultrasound done before you ever decide not too.
Has anyone considered that there is no way on earth this couple would ever abort thier baby. And maybe this is more to make a statement than anything. I mean really, this is doing some good for the pro life agenda. Obviously, people care about the unborn. Just look at everyone's comments.
This poll makes my stomach churn. I have a 4 month old baby. This whole website just makes me so sick. I'm going to pray for you guys.
This really is so messed up. How could you even look at those ultrasounds, hear the heartbeat and not even believe that is a human life you are carrying? Why not just put the baby up for adoption? I'm just as pregant as you are and it is absolutely horrifying to me that you would even consider killing someting so precious and beautiful.
I may be pro-choice but am generally against abortion so if a friend or someone I knew asked me this question I would probably say Birth.
But what kind of sick fuck would leave a decision like this up to an internet poll?
What the heck is wrong with you people?
You should not be raising a child if you are seriously asking this question.
So I voted Abort.
This is probably a hoax anyway, but I just wanted to explain this as this kind of thinking may influence the poll results.
All of you people ranting that one side or the other is wrong need to shut your friggin' traps. All of this is a matter of opinion, and while this means you are free to post yours, the same right extends to everyone else. And you do not have the right to tell anyone else that their opinion is outright wrong. Not everyone has the same morals, and just because you believe it doesn't mean you can impose it on everyone else
Personally, I am pro choice. The decision whether or not to have a child is between a couple (or single woman, as the case may be) and their/her doctor. And if they would like to ask others for their opinion, well, that's entirely up to them as well. This poll is not immoral, and from what I've read on their site, these are not bad people. Especially on your points about 4chan, I say good for you guys! The internet hate machine is no different than the political hate machine. If you do decide to have the child, I think you'd do a fine job raising it to be an intelligent, free-thinking person.
Keep the baby, BUT give it up for adoption or some poor couple who are TTC. You people should make your own decsions anyways you see how well Amaericans do when it comes to voting for the right things. lmfao
I'm glad to see so many morally correct responses. And so it goes with the vote. I am having better feelings about the public in general. But this vote and lack of value by the parents on a human life as evidenced by putting this vote up is stunning and ugly. Turning this decision into a crass public display of hedonism and psychopathic narcicism can only show a complete lack of character. There is no moral compass for these two. I hope you two seek counseling and mental health screening.
if you keep the child...i wanna be there when you try to explain to him when he's older that you put his life on the internet to be decided by a strangers vote...real great people you two are....theres a special place in hell for people like you.
I hope that you have the child and choose to give it up for adoption, to people who will not put it's fate in the hands of the internet.
I could've been an a aborted baby...my mom had one abortion she didn't tell me about until I was an adult. Her decision to abort that child left a lasting negative effect on her. Had she not been so scared and known she, herself, was born out of wedlock, she would've made a different decision. I'm not here to bash you as others have, I am just a survivor stating I have so much to give to the world because of my birth...and so will yours...whether you know it now or not.
You should be thankful that you can have babies. Theres are thousands who don't conceive and would love to hold a baby in their arms. Ridicolous.
You people need to have this baby!! I recently had a miscarriage,and there is no way in HELL I would think of aborting!!! Go look at some pic of aborted babies at your babies age,and then hopefully you can think twice about this. Couples miscarry several times before having a healthy baby! This is absolutly absurb what you are doing! Its a life that you are carry in your body!! Shame on you for doing this. May God have mercy on your soul.
You're both clearly idiots. The world doesn't need your genes. Abort.
My only hope is that you are simply staging this to cast light on the horrors of abortion. Even then, this whole thing would be pure selfishness. Online bidding on human life--wickedness that could send you to hell.
SERIOUSLY!!!??? Wow why the hell would you leave a decision like this up to other people?! If you didn't want to be parents you should have been on birth control! The thought of abortion sickens me! & why the fuck would you wait this god damn long for one in the first place!? Either you want a baby or you don't. Give it up for adoption! Do you have ANY idea how hard it is for some people to even get pregnant?!!! I would die to have a child & you're thinking about letting other people decide if you should fucking kill it???? What the fuck is wrong with you two?! If you abort this child I PRAY that you NEVER have the chance to conceive EVER AGAIN!!! You truely sicken me!!!!!
I hope for the sake of your baby boy that you people get a head on your sholders. How can you post about the development of your baby and feel your baby moving then still plan to allow strangers to decide whether or not you stop your baby's beating heart. How can you feel your baby moving and still be open to ending his little life?
How can you not become attached to this baby?
This is the single most digusting thing I've ever had the misfortune of seeing in my life. I hope for your little one's sake that you don't murder him. Sadly though....that little boy will know what you did one day. Nothing ever disappears completely off of the internet because of how quickly things go viral.
One day your child will know just how little your cared about him.
I don't know why everyone is so worked up about this ,abortion happens every day in the US and Europe funded by our tax dollars and many times to children who are fully formed (partial birth abortion) the fact is that this couple shows the crude reality of abortion and the fact that it is premeditated murder on a person that cannot defend his or her self. I live in NY and NYC wants to show people with cancer and tumours on cigarette advertising yet most people would rather ignore the ugly side of "choice" that ignores the rights of the child and the father ,both of whom (especially the child) have a stake in the decision made by the judge jury and executioner. Most would rather think of abortion as a sanitised procedure which is why they cannot stand to see with their own eyes that what they removed was human and it was a child .I believe in true choice which is based on ALL the facts and no fairy tales and believing that what is being removed and destroyed is a lump of cells is a lie meant to assuage the consciences of those who take the uninformed choice ,especially those who take it for frivolous reasons.
Now I am not saying that this is solely a women's problem because in many cases women want to keep their child and are either forced or coerced to abort by gallivanting (usually older) womanisers who impregnated her.
Alas we are endowed with free will and if they choose death they are in their God given right to do so and will answer for their actions in due time all we can do is confront them with the crude reality of what they're doing and hope they make a truly informed CHOICE!
You know, after *two* miscarriages, you think you guys would treat this baby as a gift.
I am pro-choice, but this is ridiculous. Choosing abortion is a PRIVATE decision, and its individuals like you that give the pro-lifers more evidence for their argument. It sickens me.
Don't let the government take away MY RIGHTS because you decided to be assholes. If you can't treat this baby like the miracle it is, after losing two other children, give it up for adoption. At least someone like myself will be able to treasure your child.
This is absolutely ridiculous. You people are completely selfish and irresponsible. Either get an abortion or, if you do decide to give birth to this child, please put it up for adoption so that it can have a normal life. Do you realize what you are doing to this baby? If you give birth, what are you going to tell it when it asks you how it was born? "Well, sweetie, your daddy and I weren't really sure whether we wanted you or not, so we decided to poll the internet to decide whether or not we should abort you, and they told us to give birth to you, so we did!" You are selfish, immature, childish, and do not deserve to ever be parents. Think of all the women out there who struggle with fertility problems and desperately want to conceive. Do you realize what you are doing to them? If this is a serious poll: Grow the fuck up and think of someone other than yourself. If this is a sick joke: Grow the fuck up and think of someone other than yourself. End of story.
Please, if you really are pregnant, we have tried for so long. We would be willing to adopt.
Look, if you don't want this baby give it a chance at life.If you can see pictures and it has
finger,toes etc.it's too late.Would you like that done to you ??? Really ! I don't know about
burn in hell,but I'm telling you if this child is developing do not do that please.You really
should have thought of this when you laid down and I don't get putting this to a vote.
I didn't get to vote when you laid down and had sex.People don't excercise COMMON SENSE.
Pathetic. Utterly, horrifyingly pathetic. I pray that you NEVER become pregnant again.
Please.. look how beautiful your baby is. Why would you want to hurt him?
Please consider giving the child for adoption. Take the responsibility - you agree to have sex, then agree to be responsible about the consequences of sex - and death is not being responsible no matter how young the fetus. It's a way out. LOADS of people around the world would LOVE to have a chance to have children of their own. Having kids is an honor.Please please look for a responsible family/couple who would want and love and take care of the baby.
As a long time counselor and advocate forthe preborn, this ranks right up there with one of the top ten most disgusting things I have ever heard. I hope for the sake of your souls, this is just some type of publicity stunt. If it is, you both need to repent for being so callous regarding the life of your son, who was made in the image of God. Ultimately, He is the one who is being mocked! Maybe you don't believe in Him, but you will one day; Judgment Day!
I plead with you to stop this nonsense, and allow your child to live. If you show him no mercy, God will show you none. One day someone may roll a set of dice to see if you should live or die. If you won't love him, I would be glad to take him and raise him in a loving two parent Christian home. And believe me, he will be taught to love and respect life, from the womb to the tomb.
I'm not sure why you'd want to "poll" on the internet to make a decision to murder and innocent life or not. Whether you believe it or not, God has woven together that child inside of you and gave it a soul on day one of conception. Why on earth would you want to destroy what He created in you, a precious gift from the creator himself! That child is not a cancer that you need to have cut out of your body, it's a living person who needs you to help it grow. God has a plan for the life of that child that has already been mapped out for her or him. Don't even consider taking that away from the child or God. This is a heart decision between you toe and God, not a head decision based upon an internet survey results. Try praying about it. If you've never prayed, it's as simple as talking to God like you would anyone else. Keep you heart open and that's where you'll hear His will for this child. My God Bless you richly with a child who will be a world changer!
Están locos pal carajo, como dejan que gente externa decidan por ustedes. Ademas si fueron lo suficientemente adultos para acostarse y embarazarla, haganse responsable. Y si hijo tan siquiera tiene problemas. Jodios locos!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Irresponsables!!!!!!!! esto da asco...
Have the baby and put him or her up for adoption immediately. Another person should not have to die because you are irresponsible and selfish.
honestly its your choice weither or not you have this child but think of the consequences of this. and if you deside to have the baby are you going to plaster photos and take a poll saying should we keep the child or not??? there are plenty of people out there who can adopt for they cant have children then here you are thinkingig its a game of chance everyone comes on this eath for a reason and just becouse the child is unborn does not mean its not a child for its still a growing human being thats in your body..... as a mother i find this quite apolling for i have two wonderful children both surprizing but none the less a joy .... it was a very rough road tons of complications and for that i cant have anymore kids..... i hope you look in your heart and see whats right it shouldnt matter what we say only you can make that desition but i realy hope you deside to keep the child, try to remeber why would you get an abortion ending a childs life.... before it even begins its not the childs fault it didnt deside to be born so why punish the baby. not only that but god does everything for a reason and there are plenty of recorces that can help.. this in my opinon is just plain childish and stupid
I have never seen such a disgusting display of human life that you two decided to put in a blog. There is no amount of salvation to redeem yourselves from this. You give a bad name to parents, Americans, Libertarians and and humans altogether. Why don't you do something useful like sterilization and buying a treadmill. Obviously, creating life is not for you.
Oh, and bitch can't carry full term because she is morbidly OBESE. How you haven't given birth to a Big Mac yet is beyond me. Some people should not be allowed to procreate.
Go to hell.
WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO, YOU DONT HAVE TO ASK TO ANYONE. IF YOU DONT WANT THE BABY GIVE IT TO A FAMILY WHO TAKE CARE AND GIVE HIM LOVE.
THAT BABY KNOW WHAT ARE YOU DOING AND IS SIMPLY LIKE A HUMAN SELL.
You have already miscarried two babies, why would you even consider to abort? Do you know that Jesus has your two little babies that you miscarried in Heaven but if you kill this child you will never see any of the children that have died. I plead the blood of Jesus over this sweet little baby girl who is very much alive, Father I pray strength to her Mother and Father that you will give them the wisdom and courage to see this pregnancy through the entire course. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen
PLEASE WHEN YOU HAVE THIS CHILD- PLACE THE CHILD IN ADOPTIVE HOME WHICH DESIRES IT.... I don't want to pass any judgement about the type of people who would do something like this... maybe it was a fluke decision that wasn't well thought out before you did it. People make mistakes. But for you to keep a child that you could so easily kill and throw away like garbage and then to have him/her find out about it later (BELIEVE ME THE CHILD YOU HAVE WILL KNOW ABOUT THIS NO MATTER WHAT) is just so devastating. Let the baby be with someone who has desired a baby from day one so the child will know they are loved and wanted by someone even if it wasn't their biological birth parents.
Abortion is murder! But to sit here and post ultrasound pics, adn how your doc appt goes, to allow the world to decide the fate of this innocent child, YOUR SICK!!!!! I pray GOd gets ahold of your heart, and IF you abort, I pray God allows that child to survive! What will you tell your child when born? "Oh, you're only alive because of an internet poll"! You should not be allowed to raise a child!!!!!!
Oh, dear parents to be...please so not abort this precious baby boy's life. Even if you do not believe you wish to carry and parent, PLEASE make an adoption plan for him. That is a courageous act of love on your part, and one that will be such a blessing to a couple who desperately wants to give your baby a family. After coming to know Jesus as my Savior, the best thing I ever did in my life was become a mother. I thank God everyday for my sweet husband and our two beautiful children. We lost two babies which are now in Heaven; one at 6 weeks and one at 16 weeks gestation. I know a couple that would LOVE to adopt your little one if you choose not to parent him...and even if they didn't want to....we would adopt him. Your little boy is a gift from God and has an awesome God-ordained destiny to fulfill. PLEASE let him live. :-D Love to you and prayers ! "Before I formed you in your mother's womb, I knew you and called you by name...I ordained you to be a_________ (Jeremiah 1:5)
