"The "some of my best friends are gay" defense for radically changing the lives of children is vacuous at best and evil in its lazy narcissism. Children need a mother and a father."
Bravo, best economy-of-words post yet on the traditional family side.
When is comes to Mary C's case. If she asked me for my opinion on her pregnancy, I would say ....
It is great you are having a baby and there is nothing better than babies (I'm not quite such a jerk that I would condemn an already pregnant woman). But Mary C. you are young yet and don't become too parochial in your viewpoints. There is so much to learn in this world. Learn and grow all you can and seek to find out the importance of God in everyone's life and the importance of even us weak mortal men in the life of a child.
FWIW, Mary has been with her whatever, for 15 years, which is a whole lot longer, than most of the crabby, misogynistic divorced men on FR, who rabidly complain about women and marriage, on almost a daily basis.
