Why?
That was a legitimate question.
Ted Kennedy and Robert Kennedy did the same thing - annulled the marriage after children already arrived.
It doesn't square.

And I, being the child of an annulled marriage, am extremely offended by it.

Yes,

"That was a legitimate question."

Why someone would be offended is ridiculous. An "annulled marriage" means the marriage is NOT legitimate.

You may not agree with it, but it doesn't make it any less real or correct. Annulment is not a LEGAL matter, and the legal status of a couple at the time of the birth of their children is what determines the legitimacy of those children. Annulment is a religious matter, which is dealt with privately. Divorce is the public legal matter, and as I said in a previous post, if the legal dissolution of a marriage does not make children illegitimate, then a religious annulment certainly doesn't.
