[FrayAdjacent911]

Regardless of any 'right' to 'judge'... people will, and there is no avoiding it.

If people went around not having opinions on moral issues, simply because they are themselves sinners, then society would crumble, because there would be no social pressure for people to remain moral.

Whatever this woman's reason for going out and getting a shake and bake kid, it's the kid that is going to suffer. Yes, it's sad when women are put in that kind of position through no fault of their own, but voluntarily is another matter. I believe this also applies to women who's marriages fail through their own faults.

I've been involved in discussions like this, and have found what is happening is that women nowadays do not feel the same social pressures that they did a few generations before, and up to that point. Women care a very great deal about what other women, and society as a whole, think about them. Now there is no pressure to get married, no pressure to have a nice home, no pressure to actually RAISE one's children (through lack of parental responsibility). So nowadays a woman doesn't feel the pressure to be married, to have a nice home, to be a good mother...

Anyway, I think at face value, people will take this as narcissism. She feels something lacking emotionally, and thinks having a kid will fulfill that need.

I'm not saying this all neccessarily applies to this woman. Some of it likely does. All of it might. Or in her case it may be all way off.

However, this is how it will be perceived. I hope she's prepared for it, because she made the choice, she will have to walk this path, thorns, potholes and speedbumps
