But they DO be!
So the short answer is, nothing makes it okay. Going just on the quoted bits above (too lazy to click the full article), this sounds like someone who wants a baby as a novelty item... ie. the LAST type of person who should be a parent.
We give people crap for giving pets as Christmas presents... this sounds like the same kind of mentality. "Whether you are looking to surprise your husband with the good news..." - are you fucking kidding? Suppose your husband doesn't want kids? Don't you think this might be an idea you should discuss with him first??
"...or simply want a child to raise on your own." - Okay, so then what about the guy? What if he DOES want kids? You're just gonna get yourself knocked up and then tell him, tough beans, this one's all mine?
All of this basically treats the guy as disposable... and to a degree, the child as well.
Okay, it's a little off the subject, but not THAT much... bear with me. Back when "Mojo Radio" (now AM730 Traffic) used to carry the Tom Leykis Show, I remember them all regaling in one caller's story about how his girlfriend tried to trap him into marrying her by getting pregnant... so he gave her the whole sappy speech about how he loved her and wanted to be with her forever and get married, but was at a place in his life where he couldn't deal with a kid right now, yada yada... basically talked her into getting an abortion... then immediately after the deed was done, told her to fuck off.
Tom and crew were just roaring with laughter as the caller related how the girl was losing her mind crying, and I thought, wow, that's pretty cold... and then I thought... waitasec, getting pregnant as a means to try to trap your guy into marrying you is pretty fuckin' cold too. I wouldn't say I APPLAUDED the guy's actions, but I couldn't come away saying she didn't partially deserve it, either - she was going to bring a child into the world, not for the sake of loving a child, but for the sake of trying to force someone else's commitment. And that's the biggest wrong of the whole story.
Anyway... bitches may be crazy, but bros be crazy too. Humanity in general is pretty fucked up sometimes.
