Thinking back ... before GOVENMENT rewarded having children out of wedlock, the “parents” would atleast marry and family would try to help them make it work. When Government got involved in this situation, Dad would “live around the corner” from Mom ... while Mom collected her welfare check. He wouldn't marry her because the GOVERNMENT was the “bread winner” and assuming his responsibility. The more kids she had the MORE MOENY she made. After awhile, the guy wouldn't “live around the corner”. There was no point to it. GOVERMENT made the complete transition to being “Dad”.
Then ABORTION was legalized. At first they'd give them money to have an abortion. Now they just take off. Our taxpayer dollars may also be paying for this in Pelosicare.
You can look up the % of illegitimate births (especially black ones) and see the inflection point when the Great Society kicked in.
Of course this sad condition just gave liberals more things to be “compassionate” about with our tax money.
