Sick prank or just sick?

Paulo's Menina Bela

"A married couple has sparked fury by setting up a website to let the public vote on whether or not they should have an abortion.

Pete and Alisha Arnold, both 30, say they launched www.birthornot.com because they are unsure if they want to be parents."

The article mentions this is the third time the couple has become pregnant. Whatever one's opinion is of abortion, what these people are doing disgusting.They claim they are NOT making a statement about abortion rights. Whether they are or not, they're still making light of what is often a very difficult decision for most women/couples.

I saw this yesterday and was appalled. 3 pregnancies and only now they're deciding if they want kids? If anyone is a cadidate for sterilization it's these two.

Agreed, Mrs. T.

I've heard this was a prank put out by an anti-choice group in an effort to paint pro-choice folks in a bad light.

I've heard that too. A really stupid move if that's true.

Yeah, it's pretty dispicable either way.  Obviously the outcome will be that they decided to keep the baby, and then going on a rant about realizing how evil abortion is, how women who consider it are simply misguided, that we need to tell our politicians to outlaw it, etc, etc.

Meanwhile, their child will grow up and realize that at one point their parents used them as a publicity stunt. *headdesk*

I want to punch this woman in her uterus and take away her right to reproduce.

No, they're not ready to be parents if they feel the internet needs to decide that for them.

No, I would prefer they don't get an abortion but if the only two choices are keep the baby or kill the baby?

If it is a prank I want to punch this woman in her utuerus and take away her right to reproduce, and then the guy.
