Risk? Being an unmarried mother is not something you 'risk'. It's something you decide to do.


At least show that she TRIED to create a better life for her offspring. If a man turns out to be a louse after the marriage, that's one thing. But to allow a man to impregnate her before showing any real commitment shows she was meant to be a victim.

How can you be a 'victim' when YOU are the one who decided what your circumstances would be? Impregnation can happen regardless of steps taken to prevent it. Childbirth cannot.

And that's coming from a person raised by a "single mother" who was never married.
How do you know that you would have had a 'better life' if your father had been in the picture? The very fact that he was enough of a louse to run out on his own child pretty much shows that he would have been a bad father to have around. And had your mother waited to have a child with a man who she was sure would be a good father, you wouldn't be here.
Bother not the cat. For they are sneaky and will piss on thy keyboard.
