We're human. We all judge people, whether consciously or unconsciously!
I'm fully in support of somebody's ability to have a choice. But do I have to agree with it too?
I'm supportive of people being religious and believing in a higher power. But it doesn't stop me from believing that it is ridiculous.
Would you stop me from having the ability to air my views on the matter? I'm not criticizing somebody's ability to choose to live their life however they want, nor am I criticizing them airing their opinions on the matter. I'm merely criticizing the choice itself. Just like you (or anybody else) has the right to criticize my choice not to have a baby.
Arguably, there might be a problem if I went to somebody's personal journal and told them that I DISAPPROVE OF YOUR CHOICE NOT TO HAVE A CAREER. But I haven't done that and I never would do that.
