That letter is a load of crap! American girls who are pregnant and unmarried no longer run away in shame and hide. That is ludicrous. They have their babies and parade them around in the limelight, like numerous film stars do. It's "in" to be a single mom nowadays. In the USA in some communities, 50 % of babies born are to single moms.
Natalee's mother, while she might disapprove, is a religious woman who would embrace her daughter and grandchild-to-be in such a situation. The family has plenty of money, so the baby would be privileged.
The letter is a hoax, and an extremely bad one, at that.
To not distract from the theme of this thread - I'm just going to say as a single mom (and Palladin, you're well aware I've voiced this on other threads) - you don't get to complain about single moms in one breath - and abortion in the next - *mumbling about the ugly drumbeat from the conservative folks - who laugh about boys and their gentlemen clubs - and throw all sorts of comments out there about single moms*
You are right about that. Like she would send such a letter to PAUL VAN DER SLOOT??? Comeon...they need to give us a break with this kind of crap. Besides...this is old news...propaganda at it's worst.
