The voting is done, and the couple has elected to try to go full term with this child.

Birth or Not

But it's an interesting question in an intensely divided and personal issue. So much so that others are still claiming it's a hoax:

Couple insists abortion-by-vote website is not a pro-life hoax, bloggers try to prove it is fake

To some degree it's on the other extreme from the girl that claimed to have abortions and used the tissues in her art (which was later shown to be a hoax). In this case the couple has already had several miscarriages, and it was unlikely that they'll have a successful pregnancy with this attempt, so they put it to an internet vote - should they abort the baby, or not?

Crowd sourcing a decision that is so ethically divided turns out to offend a lot of people - to some it's as though the couple was gambling human life.

Considering their history of miscarriages, they were already gambling with human life when they conceived the child. Letting strangers decide if they would attempt to deliver or just abort it doesn't change that fact.

On the one hand, I'm pretty pro life.

On the other hand, these people are too stupid to be raising a child.
