[quote]The Arnolds are having a baby. Unless the public votes to have the child aborted. Meet the couple behind Birthornot.com, where "you can vote and choose whether we abort or keep our unborn child." ...According to the couple, they've been unsure about whether they're ready to be parents and have concluded that the best way to proceed is to ask random people on the Internet if they should have the child. (Tests have revealed that the fetus is a boy.) Alisha said that two pregnancies ended in two miscarriages in the past year and a half. During the second pregnancy, the couple bought the birthornot.com domain, and were in the process of deciding whether to put the birth up to a vote when they lost the baby. When Alisha got pregnant a third time a few months ago, they decided to launch birthornot.com.[/quote]

Controversy inbound
This is terrible. If the parents are doing this, they should not be allowed to have children. Why would they take care of a child that they aren't sure they want.
[b]Edit:[/b]
Miscarriages or not, this isn't something the internet should be deciding.
Christ, it's like a pre-birth Snuff Scenario.
This is kinda fucked up.
I say they should have the baby and keep trying or else they might never have kids.
What the fuck is wrong with them
he's gonna be the next hitler guys
edit: so let it live
That's kinda.. I don't know.
It's weird to use abortion as a publicity stunt.
Oh look, some people who want to use a controversial issue to get money from Google Adsense.

Deciding whether to fap or not isn't a decision of the Internet either but random.org helped a lot.
These parents make me sick.
I can see bad things happening if they let the [i]internet[/i] decide anything that important.
Can't wait for all the sadistic fuckheads get them to abort their baby.

She posts that 4chan is the main culprit behind die votes, and lists that Users such as the infamous dusty (kid who beat his cat in a bathroom whilst wearing a ski mask) as attempts for attention. I remember 4chan bringing pure hell on that little shit and got the police involved and destroyed his Internet life.
These people are stupid, I almost want to vote abort so the kid won't have dumbfuck parents or live under the specter that his life was up for popular vote once.
Holy shit, I hope this is just some messed up vote and they keep the baby regardless of the pole.
this should be painfully common sense but if you have to take a vote as to whether you should have the baby you obviously [B]shouldn't[/B]
what a couple of fucking scumbags

I think the kid should live, and assuming he survives birth, given to parents who can't have children and actually know they want one. Hell, give it to a gay couple. I'm sure they would be more responsible then these two.
There are some pretty shitty people in the world.
This is sad on several levels.
Imagine finding out your life was 'spared' by an internet poll.
Edit: looks like people are voting for birth, +1 faith.
Here we have the perfect example of scum
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;26151019]What the fuck is wrong with them[/QUOTE]
They're fatass americans.
abortion just for the sake of abortion is dumb as shit.

Never even thought about it that way. And imagine if the moron parents still had the website as you grew up.
I have decided to start my own website in response to this
its purpose will be to raise money for operations to amputate both of their genitals (with or without their consent, it makes no difference to me) to A) prevent them from making money off this and B) prevent them from [I]ever[/I] doing a potential child the disservice of having them as parents
[QUOTE=PeanutTHENINJA;26151190]north or south?[/QUOTE]
Of fuck, I knew something was wrong but I couldn't think of what.
"Honey our last two kids miscarried and I'm pregnant with a third."
'I've got a great idea let's let the INTERNET decide if we should abort the kid or not!'
"YEAH!"
And then this.
I do not want these peoples' genes in the gene pool. This is retarded and their child will likely be just as bad.
