This storyline has people (not all, but definitely ME) disappointed in Bird. In my eyes, it would be one thing had this pregnancy occurred because MICHAEL raped her, but she has a HUSBAND saying BABY I LOVE YOU and I am HERE. I am LEGIT for the love of you. She killed the part of him that pushes him to keep trying no matter what.

You are right, I can understand where you are coming from. Coming from a writers (by hobby) perspective, I can see where this is going to push her over to the other controversial part of the show when she and Denise(or whatever the name of Terry Vaughns character) share that kiss. But CT4 you have more inside info than I do, so I am just kinda sorta speculating. I don't think Lem is going to be ok with this........No matter how tender the moment was at the end of last nights show, this is definitely not over. The only one who seemed ok with the whole thing was Terry. I was sure Terry would have been like Max was on the issue.

I know I maybe playing devil's advocate by saying this, but she knew how Lem was going to be about this........the clinics have confidentiality laws they must adhere to. Maybe she should have kept the whole thing to herself (not even telling her sisters) and just went on ahead and just did it. BUT, I think I can see why it was done this way...........
