Tragic.

Simply pathetic. Society is simply getting worse day by day. If even the family unit is looked upon as a casual gimmick or a joke to be mistreated and had at will like the life of a child then the next few years are only going to make the world a more terrible place. I do hope something happens to help us all see the need to have respect for something. If a family can't even be looked upon for some type of union between people to together come through struggles, how can a nation?

what about...?

what about unmarried couples having children? lots of couples live together before marriage or are never legally married. think about it. and they wouldn't 'mostly' be unplanned either. i myself planned with a friend to fall pregnant, and we're both thrilled, but we're not together little own planning to marry. what about lesbian couples? what about all the unplanned pregnancies among married couples? it's not as simple as married and planned, or unmarried and unplanned.
