[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Anyone who wonders what happens in a society where cohabitation takes the place of marriage need look no further than the nearest ghetto.

Wow, a slippery-slope & red herring argument rolled into one. I'm impressed.

Slippery slope? No kidding. When the Moynihan Report warning of a family crisis in the black community was issued, about 25% of African-American children were born out of wedlock. Today, it's about 75%. The results have been catastrophic.

Red herring? Nope, it's right on target. The issue is whether or not widespread cohabitation leads to problems about which society as a whole must be concerned. It does. The problems in question are illegitimate children whom society must raise and/or incarcerate at public expense.
