There are some other sites that say this couple is actually pro-life and this was a stunt to make some kind of point.
Not entirely sure what that point is.

How about we all vote to just have Alisha’s tubes tied?

I don’t know either, but the fact that FREEPERS who read this thread will have the knowledge that this is some kind of prank or stunt, makes it worth having here to discuss.

The voting so far is about 80-20 to have the baby and 6% of the commenters have offered to adopt if the vote went to abort. I don’t think these people have any intention to abort. It’s an experiment or “stunt”, if you will. Perhaps one of them is doing a research paper.
To: SnakeDoctor
Even the DUmmies were unanimously appalled This always got me about "pro-choice" people. Why is it a "difficult decision" about whether to abort the baby or not?
Either it's a human baby or it's not. If it's not, there isn't any "difficulty" in killing it for the convenience of the woman.
If it is a human baby then killing it is murder.
There is no such thing as the position they try to take-
"I personally wouldn't do it but wouldn't want to impose that view on someone else."
Well, I personally wouldn't kill another human who was inconveniencing me (that guy ahead of me with all the coupons), but I wouldn't impose that moral position on others.
Doesn't make sense at all, does it?

A couple of things to note on this story:
It's been reported that theyve already lost two pregnancies recently to miscarriage and the mother lost another when she was 20. A normal couple in that position (especially one with no children) would be desperate to see this one carried to term, not cavalier to the point of treating it as some sort of morbid civics experiment.
Pierre "Pete" Arnold, has worked for a right-wing radio talk show and blogged for an anti-choice right-wing Web site.
Putting the URL into Whois to find out the domain registration information revelas two things. One is that they've paid the extra fee to hide who actually registered the site. Two, they registered the site on May 17, 2010. Their story is that she got pregnant and they wanted to put it up to a vote, so they started this site. If that was true, then the very earliest she could be in her pregnancy is 27 weeks, presuming they started the site as soon as they learned. By the time she claims she'll be at 20 weeks--on Dec. 9--she would actually be at 29, and likely higher.

I can’t even imagine doing something like this. And yes I sure hope it’s all a hoax. The very idea of making life so cheap that you would gamble on your own flesh and blood’s life. It’s truly sickening.
