Jill - PMSL but she can't have it both ways ya know!! either children get born out of wedlock or the abortion rate goes up!!

oh look i told you not to get her started on abortion!!!!

Third option is shot gun weddings! I have loads in my tree, also have an illigit cousin and her daughter is illigit, I love them both enen if I don't approve with the circumstance in which they were born

lol Diana, *blushes* In a normal situation I wouldn't be expressing my views this way lol I'd be all humble and meek.

Chop it off!

actually I will say this and its wot I have just mailed to Lucia in private!!! I admire her for having her beliefs and principles so long as she can take the stick for it and people disagreeing with her!!! and like I said - I will probably disagree with everything she says!! pmsl

Lunar, I have three or four successive generations of shot-gun weddings in my family.

I have seen some very BAD parents that are married and their children are wretched because of it...... I'd rather a child had 1 loving parent whether biological or not than 2 messed up parents cos they were forced to be wed!

Marriage is a fairly recent institution, especially for the proletariat len

normal situation Lucia???? why is it not a normal situation for u??? ARE YOU DRUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PMSL

I'm with you Diana!!! lol

I'm with you on that one Jill - i applaud her values especially in todays society!! Just this sort of topic causes upset and those that are illegitimate may read it and feel judged. Pink who was born 6 years after her parents wed but I'm sure I'll find some illegitimate children in my line someday!! xx

Also, marriage of the parents any time after the birth makes the child legitimate :-)

Diana, that's something to think about.. but as I said if it happens, it happens and if people weren't prepared for the consequences then they shouldn't have done it in the first place I say.

I was 13 months premature.

No. I don't believe in marriage!

Just to say.. In posting this thread I mean no offence... I don't hate people..I'm nice (I think) *incredulous expression*

I dont think Lucia meant any malice towards anyone who is or was born illegitimately and I think if peeps know Lucia they will know she didnt mean it in that context....in an ideal world children would be borne into a loving happy marriage but.......can you show me one please!!! pmsl oops sori... and can i just say as an aside here....I'm puffing away on me lambert and butlers, drinking wine, and playing music very loud!!!!! oh god I need to go to jail!! lololol

I have 4 bibles and commentaries thereon. The bible really is mythology and full of contradictions. The Dead Sea Scrolls throw an entirely different light on the scriptures but have been supressed for 20 years. Len

Sadly I think that some of the young folk today ( God I sound like my father !) are all to aware of the consequences and having babies at a young age and out of wedlock seems to be a career move.
