“Why should she give up the baby for adoption? Because she’s not married? “

Absolutely . . . the baby is NOT Sarah’s problem. Any and all babies deserve to be raised in a nuclear family headed by married parents . . . I can’t budge on that . . . that’s the root of a civilized society. If she’s that selfish to get pregnant to begin with, then she should give the baby to any one of the hundreds of thousands of married couples who want children.

I agree with Ann Coulter who feels that we’ve gotten to casual about unmarried parents. Why in the world hasn’t she gotten married? Or was this a campaign charade?

So what does a person do if their wife or husband dies and they wind up a single parent?

Look - I agree that in an ideal world, the best situation is two loving, married, parents. But we don’t always get ideal situations - and one loving parent is a lot better than two who don’t care.

I’m sensitive to this because I was orphaned at nine and (briefly) wound up a ward of the state before being taking in a rather unorthodox way by people who cared for me and loved me and gave me a huge amount of support - and who had to fight the courts on more than one occasion to be allowed to do it, because it wasn’t the norm. And I know other kids who wound up being adopted into nuclear families and while for some of them it was wonderful, for some of them it really wasn’t. It’s not always simple.

So let's go after children of divorce too.

Do you condone, then, the State going after single parents and forcing them to give up their children- like they're now doing in the UK?

Give me a break! No one is entitled to her child or anyone’s child, just because they can’t have their own kids.
