You Can Play God on the Internet

This is truly disgusting.  I think we can all -- pro-choice and pro-life -- agree on that.  Please read this to understand what evil and utter disregard for life can exist among the most normal-seeming among us.  I'm not arguing there should be legal ramifications for what this couple is doing, but there should be very real societal ramifications -- this is what shunning and shaming is for.

Gawker thinks one possibility is that this is a pro-life stunt.  If that's true, it's no less disgusting and will serve no purpose in furthering that cause.

The article also notes that they couple have gone through 2 previous miscarriages, and that they're not sure they're ready to be parents.  There's this funny thing called birth control that I've heard of -- it really helps prevent pregnancy if you're not ready to conceive.  It's unfathomable to me that this woman would go through 2 miscarriages and then even consider the possibility of aborting a healthy baby, not to mention an abortion based on the internet voting of random people.

Our society is rotting and decaying at its core and Pete and Alisha Arnold are right in the middle of it.
