Couple leaving abortion decision to online poll

A COUPLE have said they are leaving the decision about whether they should get an abortion up to an online poll posted on a website showing ultrasounds of their healthy, 16-week-old foetus dubbed “Wiggles”.

Pete and Alisha Arnold, of Minnesota, both 30, said they have been married for 10 years and went through two miscarriages earlier this year.

They said they set up www.birthornot.com because they are not sure if they are ready for parenthood, and in an interview posted on Gawker.com insisted the website is nota prank or a convoluted anti-abortion campaign.
