who is carrying the child. I was so happy to find this article--Erin Kelly didn't need anyone to 'talk' her through her choice, show her slides, probe her, or try to shame her for having sex. A friend of a friend decided to become a mother in her 40's and chose a sperm donor (she was and is single), she gave birth to three boys, two of them autistic and one normal. She's on suicide watch at all times. It's too much for her to handle. Every child should be wanted and no pregnancy should be forced.
