[QUOTE="Luca Brasi, post: 1227872, member: 23282"] I'm not talking about the increasingly rare couples who do the right thing and create proper families out of illegitimate pregnancies. The overwhelming majority create a hopeless future for the children, a drain on the welfare systems and fodder for almost all of the future prison population. Justifying it and even glamorizing it only serves to encourage it. It sometimes happens in even good families, but it's how it is handled that makes a lot of difference. I am lucky that it's never happened in my family, but if it did you can bet that it would not be cause for celebration for potentially ruining 3 or even more lives. There would be no baby shower or other celebration and it certainly wouldn't be bragged about. Good for the boy's family for being upset. They have a lot of cause to be. I also don't understand why it is so common now that these unwed mothers mostly feel that they have to keep it. Or maybe it's just that those who make other difficult and selfless decisions do not get the same attention as those who are allowed to celebrate the blessed event. [/QUOTE]
