Update on the Baby Pollers
Alicia and Peter Arnold of Apple Valley, a suburb of Minnesota’s Twin Cities, were in a quandary last month: Should they execute their pre-born, then 17 week baby or should they “keep it,” as if they were discussing an abandoned puppy they had picked up on the side of an Apple Valley road?
What to do? Well, what else could progressive Apple Valley-ites do but throw that extremely personal, moral, and ethical decision onto the floor of millions of internet strangers so that those strangers could determine what the Arnolds should do.

Alicia explained the Twin City suburbanites’ motivation: “We wanted to give people a chance to voice their opinions in a real situation where it makes a difference.” Still recovering from her third miscarriage, she added,”I wanted to wait longer because I was losing weight and living a healthier lifestyle.
