It has always put me into a slow burn when people refer to children as illegitimate. You appear to take offense at what category different begot children fall into when, in fact, there are no illegitimate acts of adults. Any child born out of wedlock is produced by an illegitimate act.

Children do not ask to be born. Why put a stigma on them to carry for the rest of their lives because of the acts of adults? Clinton Weston Dover-Foxcroft
