[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you choose to be a single mother with no committed partner then expect no empathy, sympathy for me.  This is the most selfish thing a woman can do because all children need two participating parents.  Having a child to feed your ego is just plain wrong.[/quote]

I'm a single mom by choice. I'm also an economist.  All I expect to hear from  a person living in a democracy with a pay-as-you-go social safety net is "Thank you for contributing another worker who will be paying into various public and private health insurance schemes when my saggy, broken-down future self is drawing out of them."

I should also mention that the majority of children born to mothers under 30 in the US are born to single mothers, despite the decline in teen pregnancy.  If you limit childbearing to upper middle class people in monogamous Christian marriages, let me assure you, your society will collapse.  (See Japan).  [/quote]

I like you. Can we be friends?[/quote]
