I was channel surfing earlier and stumbled across Entertainment Tonight. I usually skip right past it, but the topic of discussion was actually intriguing. Apparently there is a public stink going on between Bill O'Reilly (shocker, I know) and Jennifer Aniston regarding comments she made in an interview to support her summer comedy "The Switch". The romantic comedy is about a middle aged woman who wants a child. She opts to use a sperm donor and become a single mother. In an interview to promote the film Aniston made this comment "women are realizing it more and more, knowing that they don't have to settle with a man just to have that child." O'Reilly then came back with his thoughts on her perspective. He finds it destructive to society and stated that it diminished the roles of fathers.
Hearing this made me wonder if other's shared his opinions? I find myself disagreeing with his statements (as usual). Yes, I can see the benefits of a two parent household. However, I don't think a woman should have to settle into a relationship just to fulfill her desire to have children. I suppose it varies from person to person. So, I'd like to hear what you think. If you aren't in a committed relationship by the time to hit 35 or so and you wanted a child, would you settle for the first guy you could hook, give up your dream of motherhood, or would you consider artificial insemination?
