For one, I have added "bastard" back in my spoken vocabulary, for its actual meaning.

There is one in my distant family; I believe bastards' parents must come face to fact to the reality that they have produced a bastard, if not a killing, when man and woman are so carelessly casual.

I don't understand your being judgemental here!

It is time to help by not fanning the flames!

Many got into trouble because this nation was under attack!

The Young were the casualty!

I pray we stop the blame and start to defend good, support and strengthen one an other to do right!

I have a big problem with this one. I think it's wrong to stigmatize a child for the decisions of his/her parents. Say what you like about the people who made the decision, but leave the innocent child out of it...

Labeling a child a "bastard" is how we got in the abortion quagmire we're in today. That and unilateraly demonizing women who procreate outside of marriage. Demonizing the mother and the child is a sure recipe for anti-life.

Well, it is the parents who have sinned to produce the technical definition of a bastard...and they need to feel the consequences for their actions and the stigma...not the child IMHO.

It is a difficult situation because oft times, the stigma the parents produce is carried forward because of their bad example to the 2nd, 3rd and further generations. We can see it around us today in so much of the welfare state, the so-called "great" society. Very sad indeed.
