Abort or give birth? Couple asks Internet to vote

What would you vote?.

You need a license to drive a car -- but you don't need a license build a website where you can post sonograms of your unborn child and ask the Internet to vote whether you abort or keep your unborn child. Minnesota couple Pete and Alisha Arnold are doing just that on birthornot.com -- an idea so ill-conceived (get it?) it's either a pro-life stunt, libertarian performance art or the lamest 4chan prank ever.

You might expect more from those disparate entities, but all choices are preferable to wrapping your head around the logic of two people who are arguably the worst potential parents in the world.

Reportedly, this isn't the first pregnancy for the Arnolds, who are both 30 and have been married for 10 years. Two previous pregnancies ended in miscarriage. By the time pregnancy No. 3 rolled around, the Arnolds, it seems, still hadn't gotten around to either planning a nursery or investing in birth control. Fortunately, today's modern couple can crowdsource their procreation decisions.

Is it to late to abort the parents?
Can you abort a fetus/foetus 369 months after conception?

Sick freaks, although I think it's a hoax and they are trying to gain their 15 minutes of fame.

Edit: confused this site with another, similar stunt. The site discussed in this thread was a hoax, admitted by the husband, as a way to promote discussion.

Coincides with the #ihadanabortion hashtag debate on Twitter.
