Michelle, I couldn't comment on my party or religious right or whatever's views on that because like I've told you before, when I attended a National CC convention, in three days of continual speaking by people of note, not once do I remember the issue being brought up. Like I said before also, nobody I know is pushing for legislation regarding this issue. Possibly when Dan Quayle spoke he may have briefly mentioned the issue, mainly because he had commented publicly on it before (which was blown way out of proportion by the media). You listed four options, but didn't list the option of adoption. I really am not very knowledgeable on the requirements for adoption, but I'm sure it would be possible. If you mean you want to bear a child from your own body, I think that's a wonderful and blessed idea, and God will be with you. Feel free to pray for his guidance on this matter. My advise would be to direct a serious effort to find a suitable husband, first. In raising a child, you want to give it your best effort; do the job the right and best way. It's a big world out there Michelle, and surely there is someone out there that would be more than just acceptable, and might even turn out to be all the man you dreamed of some day finding. Other than that, I rank your four options as follows: 1) Not have the child until you find someone you feel is a Father worthy of being a good Dad. Not just "acceptable", but "Good". If they are contemptous of children in any way, you don't want them. 2) Definitely don't just marry anyone. Beeeg mistake. 3) Where are you going, a sperm bank? Don't invest your capital in an unworthy institution, because it's going to be prone to failure in the future. If you can't involve the father, don't invest in that father to begin with. 4) This is just a variation on the above. 5) Okay, this is my option. If you are unable to find a suitable husband with which to raise a child, then adopt a child, if you really must have a child. This option at least can turn a bad situation into something good, if you are serious about putting 110% into raising and loving the child. Once a child is made, they need all the help they can get in this world, and they deserve it. They are alive, and human life is precious, particularly those lives which are young and vulnerable.

Wow Michelle! Whats wrong with: Woman decides to have child, and father decides to 'passively involve' the mother? Are we for equal rights here or what? I vote for no. 1. Adoption being the exception. A child isn't a commodity. I know you don't think so either, but your list--at least the wording of it--sure implies it. B. RE; 1) Not have the child 2) Marry anybody (even if they dont even like the person, using the womans money probably to attract this individual) and have the child 3) Have the child when they are single and not involve the father at all 4) Have the child when they are single and passively involve the father
