see, in Mormon circles, I believe the counsel generally is to get married or to give up the baby. I'm waiting for someone to correct me if I'm wrong on this. Because otherwise her "taking responsibility" transfers to the child, which deserves to grow up in a two-parent family.
But what do I know? Just the other day I was ruminating on whether I think 30-something single sisters (the spinsters, if you will), ought to be able to go ahead and find a sperm donor and have kids if they want to.
