I certainly don't support or condone having children outside of marriage, but it's not the baby's fault. Must we keep referring to the innocent one as a "bastard"?

Shame used to be a powerful motivator.

Perhaps if society started calling things what they are, the shame would make people reconsider before they acted in such a manner as to draw shame on them, or (what should be worse from a parent's point of view) the innocent result.

That is the definition of the word.

I don't condone calling the baby a bastard. I was trying to make a point.

Unfortunately the child fits the definition of a child conceived out of wedlock.

Unlike Democrats who are self-made.

It will only be a bastard by definition. Does the truth bother you?
