There is a certain validity to Rudey's questions.
I think that society views having children before you get married differently than having a child after being married.
Especially if the mother is young, or there is more than one child and they have different fathers.
As far as how young mothers with no husbands were viewed . . . If they were poor there was a trash component to the way they were viewed. If they came from some money they were just deemed irresponsibile, or unlucky.
As a general rule, I have never seen a girl that had a child young and unmarried that achieved their full potential, economic and educational.
But I have never really seen women that married young do that either so who knows?
Also, I have yet to see a young male that has to pay child support really succeed.
