>>I don't think the pregnancy is going to play the way they want. A lot of people will see a young woman who (presumably) has made a mistake after which she is accepted, supported and nurtured by her friends, family, community and husband-to-be. A lot of heads will be nodding in approval out there and a lot of prayers will be said for the young woman, the baby and the family that turns the other cheek- and there will be charitable prayers for those who don't know any better than to cast the first stone. You watch.

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
