Couple Puts Abortion Option To Online Vote - What do YOU Think?
After holding a vote on their website to determine whether or not they would obtain an abortion, Pete and Alisha Arnold of Apple Valley, MN will be carrying their zygote to term. What do you think?

Byron Tellier-Craig
Crucible Pourer
"We may have lost this round, but we'll see if this kid still manages to survive when we vote again four years from now."

Laura Walker
Training Specialist
"How else would you decide on an abortion? Trust and open communication? What is this, the ’40s?"

Quentin Littlefair
Unemployed
"If you can't decide whether or not to have a baby, there's only one choice: have it but raise it as if you didn't want to have it. That's called compromise."

4. Three replies and no one noted it was an Onion article?
Folks: this is the INTERNET. Y'all know that, right?

5. When I read the replies, no. But when I saw the link....
yep...it's the Onion.

But to be fair, the Onion is often uncomfortably close to the truth...

6. Story is real


Might have been a hoax from the get-go. But there was an online abortion or not vote.
