I suppose the poor little girl could always sue her Senator for doing such a lousy job. After all, its government's job to provide everything, right?
from Senator Santorum's remarks on the Senate floor yesterday:
"I plead with my colleagues. I know they have given speeches. I know there are lots of pressures out there. Certainly, the popular culture is not supporting those of us who have stood and supported this amendment. But just think about what America will look like, as we have seen in other countries around the world that have changed the definition of marriage , what America will look like with growing numbers of people simply not getting married; growing numbers of children growing up in nonmarried households. "
" I suggest you look at the neighbors of America where marriage is no longer a social convention,
where marriage is no longer something that is expected, particularly of males, and see what the result is in those subcultures, see what the result is, see the role that government and community organizations have to play to save the lives of children, to give them some shred of hope because mom and dad aren't there.
"That is the world we are looking at. That is the world that is simply around the corner if we choose to do nothing."
Senator Santorum is the mirror opposite to Senator Edwards. Now who really is voicing care and concern for the children who are lacking a stable home.
