Being raised by a single PARENT isn’t a benefit. A single PARENT has to be both mother and father to the child. The single PARENT has to work full time to support the family and be very creative with finances.
But by all means, put together a case for abortion. I won’t.
You are jumping to conclusions. I’m talking about backwards incentives in our society. I am not justifying abortion like you think. Single moms would be eligible or entitled to a host of benefits that would be comparable to the net income of a $50,000+ job. Or she can work and/or get married, and she/they pay taxes.
And since two parents are better than one, the government is encouraging what is worse for children under the rationale that they are helping.
