depends how desperate you are for a child. for some women, yes, getting knocked up by mr wrong is preferable to waiting for mr right (who may never show up) and consequently a life without children.

the thing is, you can't wait for ever. your eggs have a shelf-life and for some women, if they wait until they are too old to have a child they would regret not just going for it with mr wrong when they still could. looking at the 'women who don't want kids' thread it seems quite a few people think that women should have kids by any means necessary, and if that means having kids who wont have a dad - so be it. i do not subscribe to this btw.
