I hardly watch the flagship anymore. I watch Fox Business, mostly.
Equating Laura Ingraham to Murphey Brown borders on idiotic. As several others have mentioned, Laura has not rejected marriage like the fictional character that you keep referencing. She was engaged, and her jerk of a fiancee dumped her when she was going through cancer treatment. She has not wavered in her faith through or ordeal. As for you notion that she should "find a husband and father" that is probably much more difficult for someone of celebrity status than for someone who lives behind the obscurity of a keyboard. At any rate, she didn't go out and hook up with some walking sperm donor and get pregnant. She adopted children that otherwise would not have any parent at all. Would it be better for these kids to be in a two-parent home with a mom and a dad? Of course it would. But are those kids better off in a home with one loving parent, a mom who is a devout Christian woman committed to giving them the best life she can than they would be in an orphanage? Unquestionably yes. You can go right on with your judging and continue to make the perfect the enemy of the good. Conservative Christian Parents (whether single or married, or catholic or protestant) should applaud Laura for her commitment to her faith and for her example of compassion in adopting the "unwanted" into her home.
You won't find that concept anywhere in Scripture. Our purpose is to glorify God. Our purpose is to let His light shine through us so that the world will see our good works (actually His good works in us) and will give Glory to God. On the subject of judging others, Jesus said to get the beam out of your own eye before you try to get the mote (speck) out of your brother's eye.
