This is so wrong. Some people will do anything to court publicity and fame. The baby will live or die because the US public says it will. A child is the most precious thing in the world and it's fate should not be down to public opinion, it should be a very private decision made by the parents. Personally I am not in favor of abortions for convenience sake, although there are no doubt good arguments in favor of it where there are extreme medical reasons or the mother is a rape victim.
What will the US do next? Have televised polls deciding the fate of Death Row prisoners?
