Children 'suffering from lack of two-parent family', study finds
By STEVE DOUGHTY 02nd February 2009
Children do best when brought up by two parents with a ‘longterm commitment’ to each other, a major new study found yesterday.
The report, produced after a two-year inquiry for leading charity the Children’s Society, highlighted the trend towards mothers of young children choosing to work as instrumental in the breakdown of traditional family life.
The report – A Good Childhood – also declared that the presence of a father was vital and that children suffer from a missing father long into their adulthood.

Common sense had this all figured out, years ago. No study needed.
Come on. Do you really think that thousands of years of societal wisdom trumps the new found ways of Rosie O’Donnell? I’ll bet those who conducted the study didn’t even bother consulting Rosie before starting. Some people just don’t realize the source from which true wisdom emanates and as such, they have no respect for Rosie.
Ya’ know, they sorta indicated that in the Bible thousands of years ago. Might’ve save some research funds . . . I’m just saying.
I other news, G-d announces monogamous marriage some 4,000 years ago today!
This is blasphemy to the liberal.
Leftist agenda:
1) Destroy society.
2) Smoke dope while others suffer.
3) Study the negative effects.
4) Go on talk shows decrying conservatives and blaming them for the destruction.
5) Recommend the very things Christians have been saying for 2,000 years, except that they should not arise from a free people who bow to God, but should be administered by “the government.”
6) Smoke more dope.
Ya think?
Gays adopting children make up but a tiny fraction of "non-traditional" families, the overwhelming majority of which are children being raised by single mothers. But you knew that already.
Well, it’s about time that major newspaper in a western culture country published something like that! I wrote and spoke arguments in papers and letters for ten years against the judicial, corporate, administrative and academic misogamist (anti-family) tide. ...turned out that most of the support behind feminism was for lust, yes, but also for enlarging and cheapening the labor pool. That was before the biggest recent push for bringing in hordes of third-world slaves but after the building of so many US factories in impoverished countries was well under way.
Been there. Done that.
Bump that!

Great post!
This ranks up there with the Time magazine cover that informed us that boys and girls really are different. We are so fortunate to have these brilliant discoveries brought to us periodically by the MSM, both here and abroad.
Coulter was right and the Hags on the Piew were wrong....again.

“...Children do best when brought up by two parents with a ‘longterm commitment’ to each other, a major new study found yesterday....”
Well damn! Society has known this for how many thousands of years?
Duh!
The View is a lot like Oprah.
I have a job and have never seen either one of them.....
