I know I'm far from perfection! I'm sorry if I seem harsh, but I take parenting seriously. It's a hard job for anyone - married or unmarried. I also know there are some amazing single moms out there who raise wonderful children. Unfortunately that's NOT the norm. No one can convince me that single parenting is the ideal way to raise a child. And if people would sit down and put as much thought into having a child as they do buying a house or a car and what being a parent entails, there may be a lot less children brought up in poverty and abuse....and I'm all for that! What on this earth is more precious than a life? Don't you think a decision like this should be given some heartfelt thought? I do. In the meantime, I say keep those legs CLOSED!
No one is trying to convince you that raising a child being a single parent is ideal... its not, but it is reality.
My point, is that people make mistakes... its called human nature. Does having a child without being married make someone evil? Im not talking about the leeches that have 5 and 6 children by different fathers that then turn around and live off the system... Im talking about a woman that gets pregnant and is left with the sole responsibility of raising that child to the best of her ability.
Is what she did a sin... yes. Does it make her a slut or a whore? Maybe, but there is NO ONE on God's green earth that could or should be making that judgement.
Oh, and I guess I can safely assume that all on this thread were virgins when they got married and dont engage in sexual intercourse if they arent married.

There is nothing more precious than a life, I believe that with all my heart.... which is why if there is a choice between being a single mom, or having an abortion, Im glad that there are women out there that would rather be called a slut over a murderer.
