"Others noted that if they married, their official household income would rise, which could cost them government benefits like food stamps and child care. "

So there we have it! If ever a 'Government Study' was needed, this should be the subject matter. In the meantime, voluntary single parenthood should be discouraged by whatever means available. This is a result of the Leftist trait of being 'non-judgemental.' The h*!! with that, let's be judgemental and try and put society back on track again.

You hit the nail on the head.

We’re supposed to be liberal and non-judgemental about this situation.

We are in a far different world now than the old days. I know that there were some difficulties in the old days, in which some young people were compelled by social pressures that they “had to get married” if the girl was pregnant.

But my answer to that is: is our current way of dealing with this issue really an improvement??????
