Should single people be allowed to have kids?

Part of me says yes, cause everyone shoud be able to experience this joy, but part of me says not that is not the way it should go. I am torn.

I think its ok. I mean so many kids are being raised w/ one parent whether or not its the mothers choice. I was raised one parent as well and my mom has been the best and I grew up a responsible person.

It may not be the ideal situation, but it is up to he person if they choose to do it. The only time I have a really big problem with it is if they don't take good care of their child, and are abusive, or if they don't have the financial backing to afford a kid but have one or more on purpose to live off the government.

I think it's better to have one parent who really loves and cares for you than two who don't. When my kids were little, I took sole care of them. My husband didn't feel that child rearing was part of his job description.

I know a lot of single parents who are great parents. I don't think you should feel like you have to be married in order to have children I'm not married and I am a mother of one child. The father and I live together but we are not married.

this question is a joke. it is a womans born right to give birth and the day society trys to take that away from anyone, (which is what you are suggesting), then what will we have left...we arent special cause we are human. it is only tougher to raise a child on ones own...but a child raised with only one parent has a good chance of building charachter because of that. what is so special about marriage...it is a celebration of love...a child always will have two parents...only a few cases will one parent be stranded alone with their child. oh my god what a horrible discussion to post. im sorry but this is a very offensive question

What does morality have to do with being a parent? ..Some people are good at parenting and some aren't. Men abandon families everyday and so do some women...So some people don't become single parent by choice. I think the ones that do are prepared and ready to raise a child... and they do a great job!

I don't think that single parent families are the ideal. But I do believe one 'good' parent is better than two 'bad' parents.

I'd rather have one good parent as opposed to two divorced jerks

i am a single parent. about to get married, but ive raised my children on my own. they are fine.

I don't understand why people would choose to have a baby while they are single but I have been a single parent. I don't think my son has really lost out at all. He still sees his dad. He's a very bright and loving child so obviously that hasn't been a problem. I now have a second child with someone else and sometimes feel like I may as well be on my own anyway. I think most of the time kids should see both parents even if they don't live together but there are some situations where the kids are probably better off with one parent. I have seen "traditional" families where there are 2 parents and the kids are not being looked after well. I really think it depends on how good the parent or parents are, not how many there are.

I would have to say yes. Single parents do it all the time and most of them do a great job.

Yes single people should be able to have children.I raised my children just fine on my own.They did alright with one parent a happy home doesn't always have to have 2 parents in it for it to work.
