Her choice shouldnt have to be criticed. There is no edict that states woman/mother. I am baffled by the way peolple express unwarranted opinions.

I believe her choice is not to be critical of. There is no edict that states woman/mother. It baffles me how pointed people are with incosiderate expression of feeling.

This is stupid. Why should anyone judge a woman who chooses not to have children negatively unless she enters some religious order? I guess society thinks celibacy is ok and godly, but childlessness without celibacy and god is not a good thing...I must choose to be that which is true to myself...judge not!

Did anyone on staff actually watch this video? There's nothing at all about a "Facebook free-for-all."

Thanks for the catch.
