Abortion Reality Show
A new reality web-based show will allow the audience to vote which woman has an abortion. The women are not really pregnant. But they will be acting parts and the audience gets to decide which woman should have an abortion.
One woman has her husband leaving for Iraq. Another woman is a mother of two and a victim of domestic abuse. And finally one woman is just on the show for kicks. Here is the link: Link
Would you be willing to vote on which woman receives an abortion?

Grotesque.
No I would not as it isn’t my body nor is it my child who would be in that persons body. They in the end would have to decide.
I don’t vote for reality tv shows, period.
I remain convinced on the individual right to choice, hence the idea that a studio audience makes the call for the person doesnt do much for me. At a push though, possibly the domestic violence case. No sense in bringing a kid into that kind of a family
That’s pretty silly. Talk about stirring the pot just for the sake of stirring the pot.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see that happen.
The second woman. Oh wait, that’s not what you asked.
I dunno. I think it’s dumb, but anything pointless is pretty dumb. I’m not in an outrage over it.
Reality shows suck.

o.O
why don’t they just make a show with a similar premise: 3 mothers with small children. one is a single working mother who has barely any money. one is a teen mother with her whole future in peril after having a child. the last? just can’t deal with her children and has better things to do.
which one should be allowed to smother her kids in their beds and get away scot-free?
srsly. same thing.
It’s all hypothetical. So sure!
Thats just retarded.
Are you serious? Reality television have sunk to an all time low.
that is really sick, even if it is a joke.
I’m going to be sick
Hm. Let’s put that under the list of things that’s a terrible idea. Guess what’ll get good ratings then… And that’s what so sad.
That’s trivializing the issue. I’me glad I don’t watch TV…
That’s terrible.
Oh f*ck that. So unethical. The show I mean. to each their own on abortions.
That’s sick.
lolololol
what the.
Augh. That is so twisted and sick. There would be no way that i would contribute to their viewing base let alone call in and vote.
If they’re all pretending I don’t get where the reality part of reality show comes in. No I wouldn’t watch it or vote on it.
No waaaay. I don’t believe you, lol.
i don’t get the point. pass.
wtf!?
@YossariansWingman - i agree
people really are desperate for money, they will do anything
How stupid. Even if killing babies was not morally disturbing, why exploit it? Who cares if they’re just actresses? This is a decision women really struggle with every day.
No.
wtf. where do you find this shit
This is really kind of sick…the idea for the show. Wow.
This concept seems to be simultaneously anti-life and anti-choice, and is merely pro-abortion. It wouldn’t make it on network TV, and probably have trouble on cable. But it’s a web series, and expectations are low anyway, so it has a chance. And no, I wouldn’t participate in this.
Wow…um no. It’s a good thing I don’t watch reality shows.
This is ridiculous. I will have nothing to do with this grotesque show.
I don’t even vote for American Idol. I’m sure as hell not voting for some web doohickey.
wtf..
Hell NO!
WTH? These dumb people will get people to do anything for “entertainment”. Why don’t we just go back to Roman times. We’ll go grab a bunch of Muslims and have them kill each other while we watch, oh yeah, that’ll be FUN!
*sarcmark*
Thats disgusting. I think people are too glib with abortions. I definitely believe in Pro-Choice, but it is a weighty decision that shouldn’t be made lightly or made (even if its terminating a hypothetical pregnancy) by someone else.
But I this actual web based TV show is pointless… along with 95% of crap on the internet.
Hell to the no!
*shudder* No freaking way.
@The44thHour - LOL
I vote to abort this show
All I have to say is that… this is really stupid.
TV has sunk to an all new low. I wouldn’t be caught dead watching it, much less voting on it. I’d rather watch paint dry.
That’s stupid and really fucked.
i think this is disgusting and pushes america even further over the edge. it is not cute or funny or even interesting although i’m sure the producers will find a way to liven it up. all it is really doing is making people more numb, more immune to the fact that we are a nation that needs our butts kicked.
Only if I can choose none of the above.
They are really running out ideas.
smh
Okay, now TV’s gone somewhere it should not have gone.
No. This makes me hopeful, though, that “reality” tv has finally sunk as far as it can and may be on the way out. Even if it is just a webcast.
Haha. Sure. That’s so sick.
This is an alarming symptom of our culture today.
I think they’re taking the term “pro-choice” a little too seriously.
That may be the sickest thing i’ve ever heard of.
Uh, no.
@YossariansWingman - You got it man, I was gonna say something very similar. Just seems like a way to get more publicity to me.
What the hell is wrong with people?!
seriously?
that’s ridiculous.
@Ancient_Scribe - I totally agree.
I think the saddest thing is that most of those scenarios not even a pro-choicer would agree with. Husband being sent to Iraq? Um, really???!! I fail to see how that is some horrendous circumstance…. but maybe I’m biased. I still wouldn’t have seen that as something horrific even before my husband joined the military.
Unusual format for a show. I wouldn’t waste my time watching.
Um, why aren’t pro-abortion groups raising shit over this? Abortion and the general termination of that tissue in the picture being the general idea of abortion, the right to choose.
but oh, I cannot wait to see the reaction on the anti-abortion side. It will be nothing compared to this silliness over the Tim Tebow ad that the pro-aborts are fussing. tee hee.
…other than that, its a sick idea. Sicksicksick.
Like gladiators in a ring, only less exciting but still the same idea: the crowd decides on the death or life of the person. Or non-human fetus. Or unborn child. Or product of pregnancy…depends on which side you choose to claim.
It seems like more people are against the reality show than the hypothetical baby murdering.
ha ha
Uh if it were real I’d think it was ridiculous… everyone’s situation is different and it’s up to the mother… who are we to judge?!
to me, thats like a reality show about which one of these should be gang raped … hypothetically. It’s sick. No. Wouldn’t vote, wouldn’t watch.
Wow.
Thats not cool at all.
I wouldn’t vote or watch it….
I hate TV. I get more and more disgusted with it all the time.
what the f? thats a messed up idea for a show.
Wtf.
O_o This is pretty sick…seriously.
MUHAHAHA! I would watch just so I could see the “Religious” people squirm!
that’s just messed up, worst idea i’ve ever heard!!!!
People are strange…
Something that personal should and would be kept out of the spotlight. A television show like that would reckon to public execution. Although, maybe if our society did witness the atrocities of capitol punishment or your abortion web-show, we would start to understand the frailty of life. And start to make changes in our thinking.
No, this sounds like a ridiculous show. But, people have been rooting for and betting on morbid things for centuries. It doesn’t surprise me.
I think its making a mockery out of a topic that is very serious, though. But, even that doesn’t surprise me. What some people won’t do to make a buck or get on “TV.”
Sure, why not?
It seems that the concept-makers of this show see MURDER as a form of entertainment? What’s next after humanizing abortion through a “game”? Allowing massacres with a majority rule?
Oh, wow.
Insane, boring and stupid.
Anywhere in the world, murder is the act that deprives of life a person innocent and defenseless.Abortion in any form, meets that requirement.Why?Because deprivation is voluntary, deliberate life of another, with the three agraventes of law: premeditation, treachery and advantage.
Therefore, you can not vote on the life of another, small, innocent, defenseless.
The right to life is no voting.
The right to life is what every human being from the moment of conception.
Nobody can decide the life of another, except in self defense.That is, when one wants to kill us.
We can not participate in television programs where it is decided the life of another innocent, defenseless.This practice makes us masterminds of murder.
I vote we build a time machine and abort the three of them.
Not only would I not vote, I wouldn’t even watch. It is a very twisted plot…even for a reality show.
stupid….
