>> OK, that was her choice - but that is not exactly something to boast (and for the audience to cheer) about.

Yes.
I don't get that.
Suppose someone stood up and said "I gave birth!!!"
Would they cheer???

I'm also confused when people applaud when someone says "I'm a gay man."
No one applauds when I say "I love women!!!"

I met many wonderful minority single mothers who looked after my late wife as aides and nurses.
Most of them had other jobs.
In spite of the massive loads they carried, they gave my wife the loving care you'd give to a family member.
They were all eager to talk about their children, show me pictures, etc.

They are bona fide heroes.

I certainly won't judge someone who had an abortion, but I'll reserve my cheers for those single mothers I met.
