...and 75% of the unwed births to women 20 years or older! I guess the “wait until marriage” approach doesn’t work as well with that group.
A lot of C-sections, too - as many as a third of all live births. Fear of lawsuits? Mother’s choice? No reasons given, unfortunately.
At least the number of abortions is dropping.

It would be interesting to know how many of the 40% are on government assistance. Working husbands can result in losing benefits but I would guess that many have a significant other in their life that supplements their income. .

Disintegration of the family, as men are able to have “their pleasure,” with no further responsibility. Uncle Samuel now pays for all. Who needs a father. Except, who is going to teach young men to act in a civilized manner?

For a variety of reasons, its become more acceptable for women to have babies without a husband, said Duke Universitys S. Philip Morgan, a leading fertility researcher.
Reason #1: the ubiquity of political propaganda on this issue.

The children born out of wedlock, which is a euphemism for what used to be called “born in sin”, will most likely live on welfare and produce more “bastards”. We we will have Obamakins wanting more an more socialism and less and less morality. What an irony this is. The guys wanting to get married and the “straights” not wanting to get married. The world does not know its right hand from its left hand.

The U.S. population is more than replacing itself, a healthy trend.
It’s not healthy when the people having kids are morons. I’d rather see the birth rate stagnant or be reversed, but have married women who are not too young giving birth. It’s this celebrity-obsessed culture we live in. I despise these people.......
