Pregnant Apple Valley couple uses online poll to consider abortion

The abortion issue has been a controversial topic for decades that reaches to the core of every person in America. Often voters will even base their entire choice on this one topic alone, disregarding everything else the politician has to offer in the vain hope that their “chosen one” will be able to effect change on this issue.

We all like to think that our opinions matter, but so often there is no effective outlet for our beliefs to change lives. While most people have a definite opinion about abortion and take a stance as being either “Pro-Life” or “Pro-choice”, very few have an opportunity to do more than voice their concern to their elected representative. The concerns that we voice to those around us don’t seem to change the status-quo. Unless you are put into the position of having to make this decision in a setting that actually makes a difference, the debate does not affect anything.

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.

We would like to keep you informed on our pregnancy as if it was your own; posting our thoughts and feelings as we struggle to make this decision. We would like you to see what we see and feel what we feel. We invite you take this journey with us as we contemplate our own options and encourage you to utilize this site to vote and voice your opinion in a way that will have a real consequence… in a way that truly matters. Here, your vote will not go unheard.

Summary: A couple gets pregnant, creates website where users can vote on whether they get an abortion or have the child.

considering the website, I'd hope they abort themselves.

I wont click on it because I heard that it has google advertisements.

Step 1, get pregnant. step 2, create super controversial website about your situation that is sure to lure hundreds of thousands of people with false hope that they can steer them one way or another. Step 3, create advertisment account with companies. Step 4 profit.

Stupid drama ploy to make money.

I'm pretty sure you have to click on an advertisement for the website owner to make money. They don't make anything if you just simply visit their site.

If they make a mint, good for them.

Click on it or not, it is still a stupid ploy. They even said no matter what the end vote is, they still have presidential "veto power". Like they give a damn what people say.

I revert back to my previous statement.

Do you not like when someone makes money off an idea?

This reminds me of that guy who got people to give him over 100k not to kill a rabbit he captured.

Alas I am a brkrcsnfgt. I am hatin brah. I just think it is retarded how thay are making it on a false premise that people's opinions will make a difference when they even said that it wont.

I got past my initial knee jerk reaction and visited the site. I was picturing two teenagers with a myspace-esque layout with some Far East Movement music playing in the background.

Instead I found a website created by two people in their mid-thirties who wished to open up their pregnancy to the entire world. They vent their real concerns and frustrations with their situation and want to know how the world feels about it.

I think the concept is fascinating and I wish them well.

What a couple of spineless fucks. Kill it and eat it or pop it out and raise it. Lets not 4chan decide weather or not your child is an omlet or another tax paying fuck stick.

Not necessarily true. There are programs for clicks and programs for impressions. Impressions are when people see the ad but don't necessarily click through.

The programs for impressions are much cheaper per impression than click throughs. That's why you sometimes see blue sky or brand awareness advertising in those spots.

Shut up asshole! There is no place for reason or logic in this thread.
