I find this thread judgmental and political. And outdated and silly.
It's full of disturbing stereotypes and outdated thinking.
What's wrong with a woman without a husband having a baby?
Nothing today Jenny. But as a teenager in the 50's if a girl got pregnant she was wisked off to an imaginary aunt out in Illinois and when the baby was born, it was put up for adoption. Thank God those days are no more. No mother should be forced to lose her child. No matter her age.
Today a lot of women are choosing motherhood without the benefit of a husband. But a lot of these fathers contribute time and money to the child and are a part of its life. The child grows up knowing it is love that brought it into this world. It has two parents.
If you had asked that question in the late 50's, I would have been horrified at the thought of a single mother. Today, I am all for it. I see so many children of single mothers. They are well taken care of and receive love 24/7. They are truly wanted children.
