"Well gee... what's the alternative? To abort the baby? To raise the kid alone as a woman and the man pay child support?"
You missed my point entirely. I mentioned nothing about aborting the baby and raising the kid alone; I'm glad these people are getting married. But the examples cited in the story made it sound as if these people intentionally conceived outside of marriage and would get married when they felt like it. They also seem to assume that everyone should accept this arrangement, and the big church wedding that would follow. Capriole (post #71) said it best.
Maybe I think better of people than most.
