There are two things the law should for the child of a single mother — to get married, or to have the child adopted.
Single motherhood is a criminal activity. As most crimes left unchecked do, social tolerance for single motherhood bears serious and continuing harm for a society. It is an incredibly corrosive thing.
Historically, single motherhood has been a crime under common and statute law. There is good reason why it is a crime.
It is NOT a good thing in our times that single motherhood is tolerated, supported, even celebrated.
Look at how this very article raises up the cult of the victim, victimology, of single motherhood. Good and historically-knowledgeable men and women who cross this cult are branded as heretics who must be driven out of the society. That is like banning fire alarms and fire departments because the alarms and sirens are just so bothersome and irritating.
If Obama pushing this angle and attaches it to Romney, HE IS DONE. Good grief, what next, an only 1 child policy like China?
