I became pregnant with our 3rd child at age 35. Our children were in elementary and middle school, and I hadh thought our family was complete. As the pregnancy progressed, we became more excited about our little surprise. But at 25 weeks gestation, we discovered hJoshua had died inutero, due to complications of my Rheumatoid Arthritis. My Dr. had to induce labor the next day. As he delivered our stillborn son, my cervix clamped around his neck, and the Dr. had to work very hard to deliver him intact. As I laid there during this procedure, I couldn't help but think of the babies, HEALTHY LIVING children, who die by partial birth abortion every day. And I was so thankful to have a Dr. who respected life, even in the tragedy of death. Your child is not an accident, he/she has a purpose to fulfill, and I pray you give your child a chance- either with you or a family who will love them!
i just hope that if you guys are thinking you don't want to keep this baby that you would think of adoption as one of your options. my brother and sister are both adopted and i can not imagine my life without them! my brothers birth mom even told the doctors she didn't want him and they put him in a box on the side of the street(he is from Korea)but that little boy left in a box to die was our families greatest gift!we hope to adopt someday too!i know that having a lot of losses can make you numb to being pregnant and the life inside you we have lost 7 babies one of which i was 5 months along with, i never wanted to feel that pain again so i never would even look at the ultrasounds until l could feeling the baby moving all the time and knew they were alive!you look like you would have a beautiful family with little wiggles in it! i hope you have your baby
When we read your comment about imagining your husband's face when he will hold your child, and your comments about your feelings about decorating a nursery. . . It seems that your answer is there in your heart already. This baby was created out of love and deserves to be loved. We have four children in our family and each one is unique and special and we could not imagine life without any of them. You too will find when you hold your baby that there is a unexplainable bond between you that would make you wonder why you ever thought you would not want to have this child. For it is already a child with its own life and someone who could bring much joy to this world. Your assignment is to love and protect and help this child grow to be a fine person. If you don't feel that you can give this child the life he or she deserves, then allow someone else the chance to raise your child. You speak of perhaps having an emotional breakdown if you have this child. It is more likely that you will have one if you have an abortion. Listen to your heart: it is telling you to let this baby live.
If you don't want this baby, I'll take it. I've been trying for over 20 years to have a child and it is not happening for me. Please, if you don't want that baby, I'll take it.
I think that most people have said exactly everything that I want to say except for one thing. As with all things on the internet, this will live on far past your decesion date. If you do decide to keep this child, I hope he never finds out that you, his parents, who are supposed to protect him from harm, left his fate in the hands of the general public. People who do not even know you. People who have their own reasons for choosing abortion. What the hell are your reasons to kill your own child? If you do not want to raise a child then give him up for adoption and invest in a hytorectomy, vasectomy, tubal ligation or some other means of preventing pregnency. Hell you can pick up free condoms, etc. at your local health unit.
I feel like I'm living in a dystopian novel. Your callous attitude toward this decision is appalling. Are you so lacking in emotions that you must rely on the feelings of others? I agree with others that you should give the baby to someone else.
I'll say this as plainly as I can: there should be a poll to determine whether or not you should both be reproductively neutered. It's bad enough we make commodities of living children; I speak as an adopted adult and a mother who relinquished a child to adoption -- quite honestly, it ain't fun being a human commodity. But now we're stooping to fetuses and allowing the interweb to decide what should be an intimate and deeply personal decision between the two of you? I will try and maintain the hope that this poll/site was meant to stir controversy and perhaps discussion on what is a very serious issue. If so, job well done (4chan attack notwithstanding). I fall on the choice side of the fence...and it should be just that. Your choice as a couple -- not me voting, or 4chan flooding the gates or useless cretins who probably should've been abortions.
First of all if you need to create a poll to decide the fate of your unborn baby boy you clearly should be practising sex 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!
I considered abortion once. And for the last 5 months, I thank God every single day that I didn't get out of bed the morning I was supposed to have the abortion.
See, I almost died after the birth of my 3rd child. Ended up with blood clots in my lungs and needing a blood transfusion and blood thinners for 6 months. I also bled constantly during that pregnancy...from 9th-26th week, and gave birth 5 weeks early. I was told not to get pregnant again. I was young enough that a tubal wasn't really an option, so I opted for an IUD.
Imagine our surprise 3 years into a 10 year "guarantee" that I was pregnant and very high risk. 3 kids, a new home, and a very high risk of more clots....yeah, we weren't going to risk it. But we changed our minds...and the daily anticoagulant injections in my stomach every day, and the weekly drive to the Mayo Clinic, and the $65,000 bill....all worth it. There is no risk and no fear worth killing a baby over... If you don't want it, there are hundreds of people who would.
I am pro-choice, but you damn well better have a good reason...and I don't see any evidence that you do. You live in MN, have one of the best clinics in the world in your state, and seem to have a health baby developing. Don't do something you will regret forever.
Not that I'm saying have and abortion or that this would be a reason to have an abortion but think about what happens and you do have this baby. This kid is gonna grow up and find out that its parents wanted to abort it. Just wait until it grows up and googles your names for the first time and up pops the news article about leaving the abortion to vote. Knowing your parents didn't really care if you became an actual life would be pretty horrible. My suggestion would be to give the baby up for adoption. It seems that you do have a bit of a connection to the baby already or you would have aborted already and you probably wouldn't have given it the nickname "Wiggles". My suggestion would be to give birth and give it up for adoption. That way your limited amount of care for this baby is satisfied by knowing its alive. Clearly there's a large population out there that really does seem to care about this baby- its life and its happiness. You won't have any trouble finding a home for this baby.
Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing. Even shock jocks have a line they do not cross.
Why would you consider having an abortion and killing a human? This baby is a gift from God. If you feel you can not be a parent, PLEASE give the baby up for adoption.
I vote have the baby..period!
the fact that you continually update us with what stage the baby is at, with eyelashes, and taste buds forming, its sounding a lot like a child to me. while i'm all for the right to chose, but if you're so fucking sick and twisted as to acknowledge that it's not just a bunch of cells forming a mass, but a growing HUMAN, than i think its time to allow the kid to be born, and then put you in very extensive counseling.
Do you know that when something is put "out there" on the internet that it can be recalled anytime. To think that this child may some day read this is very upsetting to me. How do explain that you weren't sure if you even wanted him? Please take this site off and have the baby...Even if you give him to someone that really wants a child.
I am completely and utterly disgusted. I should not even grant this foolish mockery of a poll with a vote or a comment, but the subject of having children is very near and dear to my heart. Being pregnant is not a game. Having a child is not a game. Were you not heartbroken after having previous miscarriages? My son was stillborn at 30 weeks of pregnancy and I would do anything to have him here with me now. I would love to be able to watch him and his baby sister play together and grow up together. I spent my entire pregnancy with my daughter with anxiety and fear that something might happen to this little being that I was already in love with while you sit here and watch your baby boy grow as if it were meaningless. You are heartless and cold and should not even deserve a chance at such happiness. There are women weeping as we speak as they are losing their unborn children or learning that they cannot have a child. Shame on you. Life, and the life of another, is not something to play with. How could you even think to wait until the last minute to have this child's brain sucked out in order to rid yourself of this pregnancy and abort? You need to have this child and give him up for adoption - give him to someone who wants to have him. Honestly if you're someone who already has a nickname for their child and is keeping up with their pregnancy with a site do you really think you would be able to give up this child and kill him? Take his life? If so then you need some serious help. This sort of stuff is what makes the world such a scary place when it is filled with ignorant heartless fools. I wish I had a vote to terminate your life – where is that button?

Some day the Lord God who created your child will ask you to give an account for this little baby. Will you have to tell God that you killed the child He sent you? Or will you be able to tell Him you loved and cared for this child? Here is my prayer for you: Dear Lord, touch the hearts of this couple in a mighty way through comments from prolife people. Show them that this child is a gift from You to be cared for and loved. Cause the little one to move every day within the mom to let her know he/she is there, waiting to meet her. In Jesus' name I pray for this baby and parents. Amen.
BOOK: HOW TO GET AN ABORTION - BUY IT! Hand it out in schools if you have to!

You are SICK. How can you even do this? You are horrible people. Determining a childs life this way. How dare you. You don't even care about this baby. Well are you happy now? You got your 15 minutes of fame. Now go have the baby and give it to a family that will care for him/her.
If you don't want to have it there are plenty of people that would give your child an amazing life. I would be more than willing to be that person and give your child a life they deserve. An abortion you will regret the rest of your life and your taking your babies life.
Seriously I would love to adopt your baby. We can talk about the bills etc. if interested contact me through my email.
THIS IS INSANE. I love the caps. This is going a post a minute. Please read my responce 33 post ago.
What you are doing really is so wrong. I cant understand why you are also posting scans of your baby. Its like your playing with your own flesh and blood. If you didnt want a child, why get pregnant in the first place. Its now your responsibility to look after that child and bring that child into the world.
What have you got to lose by going through with the birth? You have everything to lose by destroying your unborn child.
What you have done to your child already is bad enough, by putting HIS life into strangers hands, like its some kind of game....but to take HIS right to life away aswell????
Pray to Jesus, because satan only wants to steal and destroy and he can work through people.
Dont make a terrible mistake that i promise one day, when you heart is ready, you really will regret it.
You are trying to make the "vote" of legalized abortion more real to us! You want us to think of an actual baby when voting to continue to allow abortion to be legal. I would consider myself pro choice... Abortion would never be an option for me, but I should/do not have the right to tell anyone else what they can or can't do with their bodies or babies! I think that this is smart on your part because it does make it far more real! You are showing that when thought of as a real baby people who are extream pro choice voters are offering to adopt so you don't abort the baby! I don't believe you would ever actual abort your baby!!! You are just making a clever point to the public about the reality of abortion! I don't know if I agree with how you are doing it, but I have to hand it to you guys for making this a REAL issue to think and talk about!
This is a deeply personal decision. It has NOTHING to do with anyone else besides the two of you. You need to focus on yourselves and your own feelings and needs.
My own view is that the whole point of being pro-choice is that each woman should have the right to choose for HERSELF. NO ONE else should make such an important decision for you. I also believe that there is no such thing as being "pro-abortion", despite what some "pro-life" people say. And that "Pro-life" very rarely applies to people who label themselves as such. Often they are really just anti-abortion, but favor numerous things that go against "life" as a whole- like the death penalty or hunting.
I seriously hope that you put this poll up as a social experiment or even just to troll, because if you put this up because you honestly want anonymous strangers to help you decide something so very, very important and personal, you've got bigger problems than whether or not to have a baby.
Let me get this straight, yo had two miscarraiges and just when you have the chance to have a fullterm baby, you're asking if you should get rid of it???????? Do the world a favor and do not abort, GIVE THE BABY UP FOR ADOPTION. Let the child have a fighting chance to have a normal life with love and compassion. It is apparant you both are not fit decision makers and only seek to have soem form of celebrity.
I hope if you do decide to have this child, he/she NEVER SEES THIS VOTE AND WEBSITE. HOw could they ever live with this knowledge that they were not important enough to you?
there just going to come back and say, that this is why we don't give choices, just because SOME fcken idiots decide to wait til the last minute, but that doesn't mean all people do, but of course their pro life so it's not going to matter, they just want to "prove" a point that this pissed a lot of people off.....I hope they can sleep at night after this, I'm sure their kid is going to love hearing about this, ugh.
I wouldn't encourage anyone to abort a 20 week old baby. At such stage the baby would be able to feel pain. If you wanted to abort, you should have done it way before. I'm pro choice but come the fuck on, people. You could have decided this for yourselves in a month or two without having to ask random people on the internet.
You may wish to perhaps give birth to this child to whom you have already given life and then allow him to be adopted by other parents who would not consider what you seem to be considering.
Your both fucking IDIOTS! Have the baby and let it grow up big and strong. Then someone can tell this grown up person what kind of asshole parents it really has. Then I wish this grown person KICKS YOUR ASSES because you are such IDIOTS!!!!!
I am not going to tell you that you do not deserve to have a child because that isn't my place. You and I both know that people make mistakes and I strongly believe that they can learn from those mistakes if they choose to do so. Don't have an abortion. You will live with the regret for the rest of your life and you will be held accountable for your choices. There are millions of couples that cannot have children because of different infertility reasons, they would love to be parents. If you don't want to be a parent give the child up for adoption so one of those millions of couples could love that precious child that you helped make.
Look at your life, I would be willing to bet that you have a pretty good life. Aren't you thankful your mother didn't abort you or your husband?
You guys need serious help, I would say get an abortion just bcuz your a bunch of idiots who are relying on a poll to so -called determine if you have a baby or not. This is a stunt, you guys are morons, and desprate, if you want to become famous why don't you go on the BIGGEST LOOSER, atleast then you won't both look pregnant even when your not :) This is disgusting...
Give him/her up for adoption. He/she deserves a life, and better parents than you both.
Have the baby and give it to someone that wants it. I get the idea of the site but this is pretty horrible, who even comes up with shit like this? Even if you decide to have the baby you two shouldnt get to keep it as you are both idiots. What happens if you have the child and it grows up to find that their fate may or may not have been decided on the internet? Neither of you is mature enough to have a child, I hope someone for social services intervenes for the childs best interests.
It breaks my heart to think that you are even thinking about an abortion. I can not tell you how lucky you are right now to be having a child. I have 2 beautiful children however due to complications with my last one I had to have an emergency hysterectomy. I can not even begin to explain how badly I want another one and feel that my time was cut short. If anything and you feel you are not ready to have the baby yourself give it to a family that would want it and love it as much as my family would. I would even be willing to care for your child if that is the route you would choose to go. Please just consider everything and don't make a final choice based on just some poll. Life is something so precious that you may only be given that chance a few times why let this one go?
Why don't you give your baby into adoption?? He/She is already almost 4 months!! If you wanted to have an abortion you could have done it at least 2 months ago! I'm sure the baby already knows what's going through your mind, you should give other people the chance to love that baby, couples who want to have a child so bad but they just can't, no matter how hard they try... Please, let him/her live...
Let's get this out of the way - I am pro-choice. That having been said, were you both absent on the days they taught "ethics" in school? Having an baby or having an abortion is a private matter. It is not up to the public - you are not running for office. This is a person's life or death. This is a decision that ultimately needs to be made between husband and wife. If you need help, consult family, friends, or even a shrink if needed, but not the public. There is no excuse for this type of behavior. Your parents must be mortified.
And if you do give birth, what exactly will you tell your son about this poll when he gets old enough to understand? "Yep, Junior, mom and dad were 1000 votes away from killing you, but at the last moment, them pro lifers stepped up and saved your life." If you have this baby are you gonna vote on the next pregnancy too? And the next one? "You see Junior and Jane, mom and dad actually were pregnant between you two, but the public decided that we should abort your brother, so it's just the two of you. But at least you have each other. Now, who wants pizza for dinner!?" Have you two spent any time thinking about how this will affect this child should he be born? What about the effects on your family? Friends? I'm guessing not so much by the very existence of this website.
Very clearly you two are not ready nor willing to be parents. Fine, if you don't want this child, there are thousands of couples out there that would adopt your son. Everyone has a right NOT to have kids if that's their choice, but stop flaunting it in the faces of those that cannot with your Spencer Pratt/Heidi Montag-like publicity stunt is just reprehensible. Grow up.
On another topic, as a woman who has carried two babies of her own, how in the world can Alisha have that baby living in her body, moving around (she calls him wiggles!) and know the sex and even consider an abortion? The baby moves! It has features! You refer to the baby as YOUR SON! WTF? How can she even consider getting an abortion?
You two are completely abusing the intent of having abortions available to those that choose them by waiting until the last minute. Women get abortions for all kinds of reasons - incest, rape, too young, too old, birth defects, mother's illness, "not ready", not married and the list goes on. Most people that get abortions aren't doing it as "birth control" and you make a mockery of those that struggle with the abortion decision. A few of my friends have had abortions and none of them took the decision lightly. Even the friend who was clearly old enough and stable enough to have a baby, but was just "not ready", did not take her decision lightly. People who get abortions don't throw their abortions around as dinner conversation or post it to their Facebook page, let alone let the public decide.
Please do everyone a favor - have the baby, give him up for adoption and then get permanent birth control.
If you're not ready to be parents, why not give the baby to someone who is ready? Adoption is the best option. PLEASE consider this option. This baby deserves parents who will love it for the gift that it is. I know the responsiblity of raising a child is huge. It is a big sacrifice. Instead of throwing away this gift, please do the most loving, sacrificial thing and give it to someone who cannot have children of their own, and will love this child. This baby was created for a purpose. Who knows, this baby may be the person who discovers the cure for cancer. How will you know if you do not allow him/her the chance? I pray you make the right decision based on what is best for the baby that is being knit together in your womb.
I think many of the pro lifers missed the fact that you two have suffered through two miscarriages.I wouldn't blame you for aborting a fetus you may lose anyways.On the flip side if you choose to go for it I hope you're prepared for the potential heartbreak as well as joy.If this is a gag I love it if it is not I honestly wish you the best.
PS I didn't vote its your choice
No Sean Bobos.... Yo no puedo tener hijos, aprovechen el milagro que DIOS les a dado. agradezcan al señor que tienen salud y que ese niño podrá ser su mayor alegría, sean responsables y por una vez en su vida cójanse el culo con las dos manos y respeten la vida de otro ser vivo y no lo hagan pagar por sus estúpidos errores,, MADUREN TRIPLE HPS.
I hope that you will realize that every human life has value, and that you would value the life of the child within you right now.
Well said Valerie. By the way, why is everyone screaming? Lower your caps please.
HOLA
SALUDOS
JUM MUY FUERTE PERO YO VOTE PQ NACIERA ESTE BEBE!! VAMOS A VER LO QUE DECIDEN LOS IDIOTAS PADRES.

LO DIO blessing. AND MAY TAKE OTHER ACTION MAY BE TAKEN IN MAKING MANY FAMILIES WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A CRY OF A BABY IN YOUR HOME.
You say abortion is ok because it is legal. But slavery was also so legal not so long ago. Just because the law says something is ok does not necessarily mean it is morally right.
As a muslim, I would like to give my opinion. In Islam abortion is only permissable if the mothers life is at risk as she already has duties and responbilities in her life to fulfill. However, if continuing with the pregnancy there is no risk to the mothers health/life then abortion is not allowed as the unborn foetus has a soul and should not be denied the right of life as it is now living. There is also one exception in that if a woman has conceived as a result of being raped then she is allowed to have an abortion or take a contraceptive pill the morning after the abuse has taken place. Another important note is that Allah (God) states in the Quran that you may not have an abortion purely based on financial worries as he will provide sustenance to you so as to allow the child to live and grow. Bearing this in mind my own opinion and belief is that you should not abort your child, as it has a soul and has many of his features developed so it lives inside you, therefore aborting will be the same as if you have killed it. I also agree with the view of many other peoples' comments in that you should proceed with the pregnancy through to the full term and give your child up for adoption to a family that wants and needs a child if you still feel you do not wish to keep it. Remember this all your actions have consequences good and bad even if you do not physically see them!
Yeah, um, if you're asking this question, I think you'd make shitty parents. Better abort it and get your tubes tied.
I hope and pray that you realize that the life of a child is a blessing. I gave birth to my son in 1981 after being told I could not have children, I made many mistakes as a parent, but loved my son. In 2002 My son died. I am now reaching the age of 50 (July 2011) and I am not able to have another child because of my disabilities. I can never get my child back, but would almost do anything in order to have him back in my life. Please consider what you are doing and if anything, give the child up for adoption to a loving home. I am sincere when I say I will pray for both of you as well as the child.
If you don't want to become parents, why not just give the baby up for adoption? This baby is clearly an innocent, living person. Why is it necessary to end this child's life? Thousands of couples across the U.S. wait years to adopt a child, no matter the child's health, gender, or skin color. This is a wanted child - even if you don't want the child, someone else does and they are willing to provide a safe and loving home for them. Children are a gift, not a burden, and every human life is precious. Please realize how much this child deserves life. You can even pick the adoptive parents for your child and keep in touch to know how the child is doing. I'm praying for you and your baby.
TO THE LOSER UP HERE GOD DOSE AND WILL ALWAYS BE YOU WILL SEE AND YOUR NOT SO SMART FOR SAYING THAT AS GOD SEE AND HEARS ALL THINGS AND YOU WILL SEE ONE DAY THAT THERE IS ONE GOD FOR ALL HIS PEOPLE HIS TIME IS COMING NEAR YOU WILL SEE YOU NO THIS ALREADY AS IF YOU DIDN'T WHY ARE YOU SO AGAINST GOD IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE SO REALLY YOU DO BELIEVE IN GOD YOU JUST CANT TAKE THE TRUTH BECAUSE THAT WOULD MEAN YOU WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR WAYS AND YOU DON'T WANT TO BECAUSE YOU LIKE TO BE EVIL AND DIRTY AND YOU ARE FOR SAYING WHAT YOU DID HERE SO GET A LIFE AND START BELIEVING AS IT IS THE TRUTH FACE IT YOU HAVE A LONG WAY KEEP IN MIND HIS GIFT IS FREE AND SATAN'S IS NOT IT WILL COST YOU IN THE END BUT THAT DOSE NOT MATTER TO YOU AS YOU DON'T BELIEVE RIGHT GOOD LUCK WITH THAT OK GOD BLESS AND L WILL PRAY FOR YOU TO GO HIS WAY
Please, please do not abort this baby! You could make someone who is unable to have a child on their own very happy. Please just give it up for adoption if you don't want it. It's a precious, healthy, beautiful little baby you have. Think. You could give someone life. Please.
This is pathetic and sad. You're right- you are selfish- do you know how many people would love a baby that can not have one? If you are so concerned that YOUR life will be bothered or interupted- think about the child's life-and yes, this is a CHILD. Why don't you do something good with your BLESSING and give it up to a couple that would love and cherish that baby if you don't want the baby.
Remeber, one day you will stand in front of God for judgement, and this will be recorded in His book. This is sick- I pray that you grow up and learn to put others before your own selfish desires.
If you don't want the responsibility of having the baby, give it up for adoption. There are tons of couple out there that really want that opportunity to have a kid in their family but are unable to.
You are sick people and have no right to have a child. Though you are unfit to be parents, I do not believe in killing babies for any reason. I am a father of 3 and have been through a divorce and separated from one of my children. Even after all of these years knowing he does not live with me, I would never have aborted him or either of my 2 other children. Kids are special gifts and as far as I can tell, you will not provide the love your child deserves. So, you have a couple of choices as far as I am concerned. First, you could give the baby up for adoption. There are loving people looking for newborns they can raise as their own. Second choice is to take down your blog post, have your baby and love it and hope that noone ever tells the child about this. How would you feel if you knew your mom and dad posted a poll to decide if you would live or die?
Think about this for a little while. Do you really think that it is fair for your childs life to depend on a vote from strangers? You have to make up your own mind, but know that you are taking the life of a child who has a beating heart, arms, legs and hands. Not to mention, that the child already loves his mother. The bonding has already begun.
That is all I have to say about this, now you have to choose.
Thanks, Kella, for a very calm response.
P & E, I'm sorry, but I think you're giving "pro choice" some very, very bad connotations. It's bigger than you...
I do not understand pro-choice. If you are pro-choice you have forgotten that we all came from where this baby is right now. Does anyone remember the golden rule anymore? Maybe for the ones voting to abort should be the ones that had there limbs cut off at birth. Good wins in the end, evil will parish.
I was stunned someone could see a picture of their living child and not know immediately that it is a baby. You are talking about whether or not to kill a child. I find it difficult to understand why you want the public to 'vote' about whether or not to let a child live. It's all rather barbaric, but I voted 'yes' instead of leaving anything about a babies life to chance. I hope you become better parents than you have been thus far.
If you are trying to spark a debate about either being pro life or pro choice this is one of the most idiotic ways to do it. The issue has too many shades of gray. Most pro choicers are NOT pro abortion! I for one am pro choice but for the sake of your child, you should give this kid up for adoption and hope that nurture beats nature b/c you two are not fit for a child.
GOD HAS THE SAY IN OUR LIVES AND L WILL TELL YOU THIS IT IS CLEAR AND CUT THOU SHALL NOT KILL IN THE BIBLE AND THIS IS NOT MY LAW ITS GODS SO PLEASE DON'T KILL YOUR BABY AS IT HAS A LIFE TO LIVE THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE HERE ON THIS EARTH THERE IS A REASON FOR ALL OF US TO BE HERE AS GOD MADE US DON'T LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE AS THEY WILL WANT YOU TO KILL A BABY IT IS REALLY WRONG FOR YOU TO EVEN PUT THIS UP ON THE NET ASKING OTHERS FOR ADVISE ON THIS THERE IS ONLY ONE ANSWER TO THIS AND THAT IS KEEP YOUR CHILD OR GIVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO WILL LOVE YOUR BABY IF YOU DON'T WANT L WILL HAVE YOUR BABY AS MY HUSBAND AND L HAVE ALWAYS WANTED A BABY BUT CANT HAVE ONE AS HE HAD A HEART ATTACK AND L HAVE HAD 3 BACK SURGERIES AND WE WERE TOLD THAT IT COULD NOT HAPPEN PLUS OUR AGES AS WE ARE ONLY 47 YEARS OLD SO PLEASE IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR BABY PLEASE LET ME NO AS L WOULD LOVE TO HAVE HIM OR HER PLEASE RE THINK YOUR THOUGHTS AS IT MITE BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO EVER HAVE A BABY IN YOUR LIVES SO PLEASE PRAY TO GOD AND HE WILL HELP L AM SURE OF THIS MAY GOD BE WITH YOU BOTH AND MAY YOU FIND THE TRUTH ON THIS MATTER ASK GOD TO HELP YOU WITH THIS HE IS THE WAY AND HE LOVES YOU AND YOUR BABY TO DON'T FORGET THIS AS OUR GOD DOSE NOT MAKE MISTAKES WE DO HE DID GIVE US THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE ALL GOOD THINGS SO DON'T BE DUMB ABOUT THIS AS THIS IS WAY HE GAVE US A BRAIN USE IT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AS THIS BABY MITE JUST DO THIS MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE SO GIVE YOUR CHILD THIS RIGHT TO LIVE AND YOU WILL SEE LET THIS CHILD SHOW YOU THE WAY THE LOVE YOU GET FROM A CHILD MAKES YOU WANT TO LIVE AND BE BETTER PEOPLE BELIEVE ME SO DONT HIRT THIS CHILD AS GOD TALKS ABOUT IF YOU HIRT ANY OF HIS CHILDREN YOU WILL PAY DEEPLY FOR IT AND YOU SHALL NOT ENTER HIS KINGDOM SO REMEMBER THIS LOVE TO YOU BOTH AGAIN GOD BLESS YOU BOTH PLEASE DO RIGHT BY THIS CHILD AS THIS CHILD SHALL DO RIGHT BY YOU
i find this horrific and extremley disturbing ....what has the world come to when humans resort to a poll over whether to kill their baby or not ....there are so many people in this world that would dearly love to have children but cant and these two sickos just pick and choose and put it to public vote .....why arent the police in volved with this act of gross public outrage
LOL U GUIZE GOD DUZNT EXIST
"ABORT!!!!! The world does not need another human on it right now and if you are wavering...suck it out! The "pro-choice" people are selfish and do not look at the social ramifications of unwanted children or children that people cannot afford. Personally, i think forced sterilization should be explored by the government. One kid and on welfare...we'll let it slide. Pregnant again and on welfare...manditory abortion and sterilization! SLURP!"
Yeah, because it should be up to the government if you fall upon hard times to whether or not you can have a baby or not. You are a pathetic and sad excuse for a human being, go die.
If the baby is healthy and developing normally, please consider adoption rather than abortion. Being a parent is a big scary decision (I have two now and can't imagine what my life would be without them) but with my first I was terrified. If you are unsure about becoming a parent that is ok, but don't deprive this child of life out of fear and/or selfishness. There are many couples out there that Can't have children... just my thoughts on the matter.
i am disgusted by this. i have 3 beautiful children and am 34 weeks pregnant with the 4th and i could never imagine life without them. you should be ashamed of yourselves
Do you ever wonder, Pete and Alisha, what kind of love bore the world? Do you ever wonder, Pete and Alisha, what kind of Beauty formed the trees, the mountains, the skies, in fine...the entire universe? And you. I see the power of our God in the beauty of His creation. I see His wisdom in the representation of my own intellect. And I see His love in my own person, because I live.
Think, Pete and Alisha, or your own contingent existences. He called you out of nothing, and but for His love, you would fall back there again. But from nothing, He made something. Because He loves you. But is it not enough that you live to know that He loves you? Then think of how much He loves you from how He died. "No greater love..."
Do you think that need or despair caused Him to weep in the garden? How powerful is His will! With a Word he called all things into being where there was nothing before. Did he weep for Himself? No. He wept with love for you and for all. I tell you, He saw all things in the Garden, and He saw you, and He saw this poll. He saw what you're considering, what you're thinking about doing. He contemplated the little person whom, even in the womb, "He knew," and what sort of perils both it...and you, I say, for injustice is its own punishment; do you not think that injustice and evil are weakness, that it inspires hatred against itself, that it divides itself?...He knew you, I say, and He wept for you.
It was your memory that He carried with Him to Calvary, it was for you that He bore those lashes on that via dolorosa, that sorrowful road from Jerusalem. Each time the centurion struck Him, I say, He thought of you. What grief! Greater than a thousand lashes from a whip was the sorrow that He felt for you, and He wept.
Do you not think that, in His final hour, it was for you that He beseeched the Father? "Forgive them! They don't know what they are doing!" He saw your face. He knew your intentions. And He died from the grief it caused Him.
This couple reminds me of that scene in the film, Gladiator, where Caesar (Joaquin Phoenix) gave the thumbs up or down as to whether the Gladiator (Russell Crowe) would live or die depending upon the noise of the crowd and Caesar's own capriciousness. That seemed barbaric.
Husband, love your wife!
Wife, have your baby!
Both of you, where is your own self respect?
Give Birth, and then give up for adoption. You are obviously not ready to be parents. But don't kill this Perfect Gift From God!
If you do decide to give birth, you should give this baby up for adoption. It is clear to me that you do not want this child, and if you are really willing to put it up for public vote whether you should have an abortion or not, then you are clearly not fit to be parents. Give this baby boy up for adoption.
I want the baby if you guys dont. I have 3 children already but would love more. If you really abort this baby, please get your tubes tied and a vasectomy. You two do not need to make anymore babies.
Two words FUCKING IDIOTS!!!!! Parents should be aborted!!
Im 23 and im going thru a few things that you are going through. Im on bedrest I cant really do to much so yes it does get depressing. my boyfriend left me so Im kinda my own with no support and income right now. I thought about abortion because I didnt want to have a child without a father, but after seeing the ultrasound pictures I fell in love with butters my nickname for the baby. Things will be hard but it will get better and time and when that baby gets in your arms you will fall in love and be glad that you didnt abort. Don't get a abortion its not worth the pain and heartache you might feel later.
This has got to be a joke right? A publicity stunt?
This site is horrible. You are an embarrassment to the human race, show some dignity.
I voted for you to give birth but for even making this poll i wish your parents would have had an abortion, it's a life not something to play god with. People dont value life anymore thats the problem
Even if this is a disgusting joke, what child in its right mind would want to be raised by such pathetic people as yourselves? You are both nothing but media seeking attention whores. I do hope you give birth, but I also hope that A: you either give it up for adoption, or B: have the child taken away by the state. You disgust me.
ABORT!!!!! The world does not need another human on it right now and if you are wavering...suck it out! The "pro-choice" people are selfish and do not look at the social ramifications of unwanted children or children that people cannot afford. Personally, i think forced sterilization should be explored by the government. One kid and on welfare...we'll let it slide. Pregnant again and on welfare...manditory abortion and sterilization! SLURP!
You are viewing and posting ultrasound images of a living human baby moving and "swimming" animatedly in your belly, you are watching it grow and develop before your eyes, but if enough people vote to tell you to abort this baby you are going to willingly and with full consent pay a "doctor" to rip this beautiful boy limb from limb??? How cold-hearted and cruel can you be??? You call yourself PARENTS??? This is just SATANIC!!!
This is one of the most classic trolls of all time. Pete and Alicia, this world needs more witty, subversive people like you, and so I say: "keep it!"
All this crap about prochoice is so stupid. You had the CHOICE to use protection or not. That is the choice. A baby is a consequence to a choice. You already had your choice, you choose to not use protection and now you have a baby. Which has a beating heart and you have pictures of it already. I agree with the majority of people and say you need to have this baby because it is a consequence to your actions and place that little one up for adoption IMMEDIETLY! You are by far the worst case of people I have ever heard of.
Please let the one voice that cannot be heard be prtoected. Don't kill this child. Don't let his life be trivialized in this manner. Don't let the gift of life be trashed and destroyed.
how sad....after Cancer several years ago I was unable to do the one thing I have always wanted to do...to have a child and be a parent. I am a RN and well educated...to have the opportunity that you have been givin..I will only be able to dream of. I will take this child....if you don't want this child please give it to someone that would love it and be gratefule every day to have it.
I'd like EVERYONE that's up in arms about this to remember that many of you voted for George W. Bush and the murder of 1,000,000 innocent Iraqi civilians.
from what I read, you two idiots give a crap more about your two cats you have than this baby. have the baby and give it up for adoption - you are too stupid to raise a child.
Please, oh please, do NOT abort your baby! If you don't feel like you are ready or able to be parents there are many desperate couples experiencing infertility who would LOVE to give your baby a wonderful home!
And one more thing, as a NICU nurse I'm even more appalled!
I would never ever vote for someone to get an abortion! However, I have to wonder what kind of parents you could be if you can get this far along in a pregnancy, see that sweet innocent child on ultrasound and even consider murdering it!
Please do not end this child's life. The child is a living human being. He is your baby. You will be able to hold him soon. Do not do this. I can not believe that anyone would vote to end this child's life, but you are his parents. It is your responsibility to love this child and protect him. You have been entrusted with this baby's life. Despite what some research suggest, the child can feel pain. Ending the life of this innocent baby is wrong no matter what. Do not place your fears and wants above this child's. You made the decision to get pregnant; now make the decision to be a parent.
Ok, close your eyes and pretend you never lived, pretend no one ever cared about you, pretend you never went to a high school dance, pretend you never got your first kiss, pretend you never got married... Do you seriously want to wish that non-existence onto anyone else??? ESPECIALLY YOUR OWN CHILD!!!!
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together IN MY MOTHER'S WOMB." ~ Psalm 139
Life begins at INCEPTION PEOPLE!!!!! Your life began at inception, and your child's life began at inception. Also, remember that if you choose to abort, God will still love you, even if you didn't love his creation enough to give it a chance. He will still forgive you and show you grace if you willing repent.
Please think.
From a 15 year old girl
Of course, as a pro-life person, I'm voting for allowing the baby to experience the same ability - to draw breath - as you two do. But I have to say, for you to put such an issue to a vote by complete strangers, let alone to decide to abort by yourselves; you have some serious self-examination to attempt first. Libertariansim should never become an excuse for moral obtuseness. Liberty without morality is abhorrent, and is the choice of fools who cannot recognize that the vacuum created by their lack of morality is the toolshed of tyrants.
I pretty much agree with most that you should give birth and then give it to someone who actually deserves this child. I am pro-life and no one is right about killing a baby... if you don't want one get a hysterectomy or use protection. you both she be castrated for this and there is no way you ever call yourselves parent, because that right is reserved for couples who would do anything to protect their children even die. whether or not you believe God's wrath is real does not matter because if you kill this child you will find out one way or another. He could cause close your womb or something else and the facted you will be judge for murdering one of his children. Children or Gifts from God and not everyone is lucky to have children so how dare you make fun of a serious matter. You are the kind of people God got rid of the first time he flooded the world, I guess he missed a couple... I seriously Pray you find peace with God and get smart or that God punishes you a hundred fold.
I feel sorry for your family who has to be related to people who like to murder babies....
May God Close you womb so you can't have any kids you swine!!!
I UNDERSTAND YOUR UNCERTAINTY ABOUT BEING PARENTS AT THIS TIME. BUT I URGE YOU TO MAKE THE MOST UNSELFISH AND HONORABLE DECISION YOU WILL EVER MAKE IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE: GIVE LIFE TO THIS PRECIOUS CHILD YOU ARE CARRYING. MAKE AN ADOPTION PLAN FOR HIM/HER. WE ARE THE PROUD PARENTS OF AN ADOPTED DAUGHTER AND SHE IS THE LIGHT OF OUR LIVES. WE WERE UNABLE TO BECOME BIOLOGICAL PARENTS BUT BECAUSE A YOUNG LADY MADE THE DECISION OF LIFE, WE NOW HAVE THE MOST PRECIOUS GIFT EVER. BELIEVE ME WE RAISE THIS YOUNG LADY UP ON A PEDESTAL AND CALL HER A HERO. WE KNOW IT WAS A DIFFICULT CHOICE, BUT IT A CHOICE THAT BOTH HER AND THE BABY COULD LIVE WITH. CALL AN ADOPTION AGENCY NOW. THEY WILL BE WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. PLEASE CHOOSE LIFE. YOU WERE GIVEN THIS MIRACLE FOR A REASON. I BELIEVE IT WAS TO BLESS OTHERS AND IN TURN RECEIVE A BLESSING.
This truly saddens me. You would clearly not make great parents. I agree with those who posted that there are so many people in this world who cannot have children, and would give anything for that possiblity. I for years was one of them, until I was blessed. If you have to seriously ask this question, you do not deserve to be parents. Unforunately, you have waited until the last possible hour to eliminate the pregnancy, with the baby at 17wks it is clearly well developed. If you do decide to keep this baby, consider the idea of adoption. Although, I'm certain that at the point of seeing this beautiful being, you will be in love. The sad momment will be when your child comes to know of how you asked for this vote, from total strangers. How he/she was not completely wanted from the start, or even from the first time you felt him/her move. If this was only for publicity, he/she will always have doubt. That can never be undone.
i think you sound like you shouldnt be having children. i definitely think the fact that you are wanting others to make a decision for you shows how you are not ready to be parents. the thing that i think is disgusting is that you have waited this long to abort if so is the case. i think abortions are great for people who accidentally got pregnant and are young or not financially stable, or even those with mental or genetic disorders that dont want to pass those along to their children or society... yet... you are at least 16 weeks and thinking about abortion? thats disgusting. you should have aborted this embro as soon as you found out... dont tell me you hadnt thought about what to do if you were to get pregnant if you werent using birth control... thats a lie! i doubt a lot of people are going to say abort over birth just because abortion holds a stigma to it, but either way... i feel sorry for this child or any that you guys potentially have.
Please give birth and then give that precious child up for adoption!!!!
Right on Dll!!!!
GIVE THE BABY UP FOR ADOPTION!!!!! I REPEAT, GIVE THE BABY UP FOR ADOPTION!!! MANY DESERVING FAMILIES WANT TO LOVE AND RAISE A CHILD. INSTEAD OF HAVING A CHILD YOU DON'T WANT, OR ABORTING A CHILD, DO SOMETHING POSITIVE AND GIVE THE BABY TO A LOVING FAMILY. I HOPE YOU WILL CONSIDER THIS OPTION. YOU ONLY WILL IF YOU ARE NOT SELFISH ASSHOLES!!!
Wow you're both thirty, and have made it this far without other children ( I'm assuming, because you obviously don't realize what a blessing they are if you're considering abortion). So how can you get to this age and 'mistakenly' get pregnant? Have the baby, take responsibility and make the RIGHT decision as ADULTS. You will love him, and you won't regret it.
If this is fake then well done you've got people thinking.
If it's real then more people need to vote abortion and remove the genes that could think up this from the gene pool.
I can't believe that you would even think of aborting (killing) an innocent life. Shame on the twenty some percent who want you two to have a killing of your baby. It's a life and a life it should remain until God decides when it's time for the life to end.
There's no excuse to ever have an abortion, let alone think of it.
My definition of abortion is this..."The destroying of one's life to justify one or more people being irresponsible, immoral, and/or breaking the law."
This justification also includes the guilty parties wanting their own freedom from responsibility and/or their convenience.
Really? I voted give birth because even with dumb asses like you for genetic material donor the baby should have a chance to live since youve already carried it to 15 weeks. This is just the most disgusting display of stupidity I've ever seen. letting the net decided to keep or get rid of an innocent life. You should be ashamed of yourself. the options would be better if they were keep or give up for adoption. In that case I'd vote to give it up for adoption because no child should have parents like you. This kids going to have so many issues if they ever find out about this bull shit.
Have the baby, free it from the hell that would be a life with you two obese neanderthals by giving it up for adoption, and then kill yourselves. You make me sick.
