Million Dollar Tattoo Girl Has Her Baby
Nancy Vital, in the US, says: "I was stupid. I'm 18. I thought I was in love with this guy, we got pregnant, and now I'm on my own."
She needs to raise cash to get through college and support her daughter so, in the spirit of the age, she set up the milliondollartattoo.com site. She's doing a great thing: taking full responsibility for her daughter and getting a site going to raise cash. You can read Nancy's story on her site.
Of course, as per normal in this patriarchial society, she's had to take a load of flack. But, in reality, what she has done and how she has handled it is all good person stuff. A civilised society (which doesn't yet exist, except perhaps in 'primitive' cultures) would give her and her child total support (instead of denying them Medicaid).
You can be pretty certain that those who criticise her for getting pregnant manage to avoid getting so themselves by their craftiness and preparation; not because they don't have sex outside marriage.
Unfortunately, when you stick your head above the parapet you get some shots taken at it by some very shoddy people; and, as she's discovered there's a load of them just waiting to come out of the woodwork and take a snipe.
Still, she doesn't need to think about them when she's got a beaming brand-new baby to look at.
Here's hoping everything goes well for her.
