First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage, Then Comes Baby in the Baby Carriage

Definitely it is a good thing that the stigma of having a child out of wedlock is all but gone. How many children were given up to people who were not their parents because it was deemed to be outrageous that the mother wasn’t married? How many people got married and endured years of unhappiness that their children also suffered through so that the woman didn’t have a child out of wedlock? How many botched abortions happened, how many women died because it was considered shameful to bear a child without benefit of that little golden ring on her finger. Good riddance to all of that, thank goodness!
