Most. Disgusting. Thing. Ever.

Have you heard of the couple in Minneapolis that is putting the life of their child up to the results of a “Life or Abortion” poll? I hate even giving them any publicity because of how heinous and disgusting their actions are.
The couple, who won’t be named, have decided to create a poll on their website, also not named, to let the public determine whether or not they should keep their child or abort their child. The couple is pregnant, and almost 20 weeks along. If you visit their site, you’ll see all sorts of stuff, and namely, you’ll see relatively new ultrasound pictures. They speak of their child as if it is a human child, not merely a blob or a muscle mass, or tissue, or any of the other “choice” words used to diminish the truths of nature. The couple claims that this isn’t a publicity stunt (clearly it is) and that they aren’t swayed one way or the other just yet. I’m disgusted by this father’s utter lack of manliness in this situation. Absolutely disgusted.
First off, a TrueFather does everything in his power to protect his children. He does not put them up for auction, for spectacle, for amusement. He does not harm them. He does not take them for granted. He does not murder them.
Secondly, a TrueHusband does everything in his power to protect his wife. He does not exploit her. He does not make a spectacle of her. He does not harm her. He does not make choices that will cause long-lasting negative emotional, physical and psychological effects.
This male is not a TrueMan. He’s not being a good father. He’s not being a good husband. In fact, he’s completely disregarding everything that is manly (virtue!) and choosing vice. I am incredibly saddened for this couple, for their child, for everyone who has been exposed to this sort of crap and to anyone who actually considers this legitimate. Let us unite together in prayer for the conversion of this couple and for the end to abortion and all attacks against human life.
NOTE: It has been speculated that this is, in fact, a publicity stunt in favor of the pro-life movement. Regardless of the actual intention of the couple, this is incredibly stupid and should not be considered pro-life.
TrueMan up!
