Here are my opinions LOL Seriously though, I try to make decisions on how I feel based on a case by case basis. For instance, I would not call you names or say bad things about you for planning to and having a baby outside of marriage. I would, however have a problem if you did it to try to get your man to marry you (I know a woman who did that with her boyfriend TWICE 7 years ago and he still hasn't married her). I think there is a HUGE difference between two people who have been together for 12 years having a family and someone who just met someone getting "knocked up" by "accident".

As I said in my last post "accident" is a loaded word. People say "oh, it was an accident" when they weren't using birth control. Uhh, that's not an accident! Then there are people like my best friend from high school who took her pills like clockwork and somehow Jacob snuck in there (she was married at the time, incidentally).

Because of my history with trying to get pregnant with Zack (it took us over two years of actively trying, sex schedules and everything), I am probably more sensitive to unwed mothers than most people. I just can't stand to see people with multiple children with different fathers. OBVIOUSLY some people have children with more than one person and I'm not saying that's wrong. I see a problem with not being married and having, say, three kids with three different daddies.

I could probably ramble on about this forever. I'm not saying these people are bad mothers, it just really rubs me the wrong way. Whew, I'm done now ;)
