Online poll to birth or abort....I vote to abort their computer access.....

Tasteless website of a couple with too much time on their hands stating that she is pregnant and they are undecided, after two miscarriages,whether to birth or abort.  I vote that this is a publicity seeking prank. Many agree. Some are saying this is a pro life trick showing how disgusting abortion is and the humanity of the pre born. Most everyone agrees that this couple should not be parents but the online poll is running 80-20 for giving birth. This says something about how we entertain ourselves and how we see life as a commodity. Serious  things are going on all over the world and this is a news grabber?

I saw the movie Morning Glory this week and the premise was that entertainment (the more outlandish the better) like the morning weather man getting his butt tattooed gets better ratings than hard news. I vote this couple get the word  idiot tattooed across their foreheads and their computer dies and is never resurrected. As one commenter said : they are not the brightest candles on the altar.....

"You can vote and choose whether we abort or keep our unborn child. For the first time, your vote on the topic of abortion can make a difference. Voting is such an integral part of the American identity.  We vote on everything.  We vote on things ranging from the best singer on American Idol to who the next leader of the free world will be.  Wouldn’t it be nice to voice your opinion and have it actually make a difference in the real world?  Why not vote on whether to continue or abort an actual pregnancy? Your vote can help a real couple to make a decision on this issue."

Advice wanted from strangers on life and death decisions........

This question was posted on one of those websites that you can post your question anonymously and get advice from strangers. Pretty serious question involving life and death decisions.....it got me to wondering about where we have come as a society. We do not know or speak to our next door neighbor but we go online and speak to strangers halfway across the world and tell them our deepest secrets.....we use Twitter and Facebook to communicate when we won't talk to our spouse about our issues.

But back to this question....how sad! Most of the answers affirm that we are by nature self centered and no one has to teach us this trait. It is all about us and if others get hurt by our decisions, so be it. Most of us learn the hard way when we pick up the broken pieces. This girl is not seeking advice from trusted advisers of the past such as parents or clergy......most of the answers are politically correct....it is all about what you FEEL......nothing about what is the right thing to do.......do what you want to do, what you can live with.....no one focused on what is the right thing for the child who is the only innocent person here.

"I just found out that I am pregnant! About 7 weeks! I was in a relationship with my long term bf that we were planning on getting married. We broke up 3 weeks ago. And I guess the stress from that made me completely forget about a period. We have talked about it many times since I've found out 2 days ago. And we are thinking about abortion. We realize that we were not a good team and having a baby is BIG! But so is abortion! And I don't know if I could live with knowing what I have done. But I have 7 years left of college and he has 6. So thinking of it that way, this stands in the way of my goals. So I'm leaning toward it. But I think that its just selfish. Not to mention he is strongly pushing for abortion!"
