Roll back the clock at least several generations. And imagine.<\/p>\n

Imagine a man and a woman, married for years. Never having had children. Because one or both of them couldn’t reproduce. Way past child-bearing age. Them, have a child now?<\/p>\n

Imagine a young woman. A girl, really. Unmarried. Morally pure. She, have a child?<\/p>\n
