But was it *offered*, or was it *required*, to give up your child
if you stayed at Falwell's place? It's not a good idea if it's
required; that's called coercion.
Could you point me to the statistics that say prisons are full of
single-parent children? I know quite a few single-parent children
(I'm one of them) that grew up just fine. I feel more sorry for
my mother (since she gave up *everything* for 20 years to raise me)
than I do for me.
