"A recent report from the Social Capital Project reveals that the American family is disintegrating, fast. Fully 40 percent of mothers are currently unmarried.
This is bad news, because good families depend on good marriages. Marriage is the moral glue that binds them. It’s the stabilizing agent. There’s a reason that children from married couples do better in school, and are less likely to end up in jail as compared to children of unmarried mothers, known as “fragile families."

A friend of mine works with young, at risk mothers in an urban environment. If you have sensitive, shithole ears, you might not want to read the rest. The young people are unloved, alienated and alone in their one parent, iphone world. The boys are only interested in sports, video games and sex.....and the most vile music imaginable. So the girls only emotional attachment is with a baby.
While cruel, as long as society bails these folks out, says it is ok because YOLO, this will continue. Both sexes are emotionally retarded....for different reasons. Young urban kids don’t even live on the same planet as I grew up on. Skin color doesn’t matter....they are all the same.
And these are among the same women who have been co-opted by the Democrats. As a result of their personal bitterness resulting from their (self-induced) circumstances, the Democrats exploit that personal bitterness by deceiving these people into thinking that Democrats/Feminism/Class warfare are all speaking the truth to power on their behalf. In reality, Democrats are exploiting these people — after they have conveniently set these people up to fall into their own trap by telling them how wonderful and liberating it is to give your body away to your base instincts.
Chastity? Abstinence? Why it’s of no use! Just use a condom and there will be no consequences to doing whatever you want.
It is so sad to see so many lives destroyed, and yet people swallow this stuff hook, line, and sinker and then they naturally become bitter and blame everyone else - the rich, Conservatives, Republicans, Trump. All they have to do now is vote for a Democrat, not those meanie Republicans, and their lives will be better. What a scam. What a life-destroying scam.
20, 30 years ago these children would be born to poor, minority moms in rough parts of town.
Today they are being born to Millenial women, some of them financially well-off, who have CHOSEN to have a child without marriage.
I know of so many Millenial couples where they just never bother to make it official.
And the numbers are higher for certain minorities. Of course it violates political correctness to say so. But a strong majority of black babies are born out of wedlock nowadays.
Though now that we have reached 40% overall, clearly single motherhood is mainstream behavior now.
Anyone remember Dan Quayle, and how he was lambasted and pilloried for daring to touch this subject? I don’t think I’ve heard any politician or anyone in public life, say after that experience, that single motherhood is not good, is bad for society, etc. Political correctness is so strong in this country that we aren’t allowed to criticize bad life choices such as single motherhood.
And yet by destroying monogamy they are destroying more than the American patriarch, they have destroyed the happiness of American women and their economic security, not to mention the future of so many American children.
The answer of course is to now start sex education in daycares and preschools because it is working just according to plan by having sex education in elementary schools. And only if we could add in more gender confusion at an earlier age. I’m sure that will work wonders. And, let’s talk about homosexuality in pre-school while were at it.
Man, these people are messed up!
Thank you. My last note in #20.
How long before some over-educated, whack-job, Ivy League professor declares marriage to be a white privilege device to perpetuate racial discrimination?
And the disasters of single motherhood continue apace.
More jail time, more social pathologies, more welfare. Welfare enables this pathology and needs to be scaled waaay back.
Just what Satan wants.
Oops, that's redundant.
The Bastard Baby Boom
And nothing will change anytime soon because it is not PC to discuss the real problems and the causes in government circles. Just throw more money and more government programs at the problems. (Though Trump has been uttering the “welfare to work” phrases recently. A booming economy and job market might help put a dent in it.)
Great point. These may just be the poster mothers for what Tocqueville warned about the voting from the public purse. Permanent Dummy voters.
Two generations ago sex education in school consisted of the biological mechanics of the act and the socio-economic reasons to delay experimentation until marriage.
Today it consists of how to do it in 57 different ways with anything that moves and why it is just another fun-thing to do. (like video games and dope)
The Great Society, brought to you by that foul mouthed Progressive, Lyndon Johnson.
Again, shame is gone so people demand their immoral decisions be financed. That includes sloth as well as promiscuity.
Can you imagine “my baby daddy” being a common term when we boomers were young? Much less “I dunno who be my baby daddy. Now gibme my EBT.”
BANG
Then we have diabolical married couples who torture their own biological children as shown here:
With all of God’s blessings and Biblical guidance, we humans are setting up our ultimate demise. Prayer may not be enough, we must promote His Word and tenets.
