Social media is great for some things, like finding breaking news stories instantly or stalking old school mates and comparing the many ways in which your life is so much better/worse than theirs.

However, it is also and incredibly messed up place at times, and nothing drills this message home quite like this news story, which will leave you looking something like this:

A young woman has gone viral on Twitter after she posted a photo of herself online, claiming she's four months pregnant and writing: "4 months pregnant. 4k RTs & I won't abort it."

Unsurprisingly, Twitter has exploded. The strange tweet has gone viral and Twitter users were quick to jump in and attack the woman for it, saying that she is not fit to be a mother amongst a barrage of other insults.

arrant nonsense, she should have also asked for retweet before she went ahead and had unprotected sex.... foolishness!

btw, at 4months, no sane person woud do an abortion on this babe.

weyre re oo

Others were quick to defend the woman in question, telling the abusers to let her live her own life how she wants to.
