Whats the big deal!! Her body not yours!! Men have babies at the age of crokedome with women who look like their children so why is it such a big deal that a married/single (older) woman wants to have a child. There is risk in every pregnancy young or old!! She seems healthy to me!! Go for it!!

she should have thought to herself before conceiving the baby: “hmmm i wondenr how long am i going to be around after my child is born?” what recklessness and inconsideration on her part….that poor child, because let’s face it no one lives forever and in a couple of years this lady will be gone an the child will be left without a mother and a father…such a shame.

Whose business is it besides hers? She has every right! Besides, none of us are guaranteed another second of life, so saying that she might die is simply irrational! We are all going to die sometime. Good for her and she will probably be a wonderful mother. With drugs and spoiled children, most grandparents who are older than this lady are having to raise their children’s children all of the time! I say, “God Bless You and your baby!”

God this is wrong shes too old to be a mom by time the kids 18 shes gonna be close to dead. Why do people do this shit?

With all the pro abortion fools out there, maybe the Good Lord decided to send a baby to a woman who would keep it around and love it, instead of sending her/him back to him with a scalpel stuck in the back of her/his head and a note writen in blood saying (HELL NO) return to sender!

A 66 year old new mommy is a bit strange, I thought most women couldn’t have babies past 55 anyway. I don’t plan on having kids past the age of 36 personally but if its what she wants all the best to her a her new bundle of joy!
