Single moms need a better social safety net, not moralizing about marriage

I applaud your accomplishments as a women, wife, and mother.

[heavy metal]

if you can’t feed them don’t breed them...

[RightOnTheBorder]

At least a burglar knows he is a POS. These women think they are righteous.

[Sunsong]

Surely you don’t mean abort them?

Ay, por favor-es una broma? That is one of the weirdest ideas I’ve read in awhile-and I’ve never seen or heard of it in all my years as a case manager, sometimes working with some really, really odd clients. I don’t know any men who would choose a girlfriend or amante/mistress like that, either...

Thanks for posting this reality:

In other words,“We don’t need no stinkin’ morals! We just need more financial support to be amoral - gimme dat!

Ladies, a father is responsible for every child.

Find him, stupid people.

[pingman]

“Decent Society”; yes, those were the days.

[FLT-bird]

whatever you subsidize, you get more of.

[ConservaTexan]

It’s a safety web, not a safety net.

[Keyhopper]

I got to raise 2 girls when the egg donor decided to discover herself.

[pingman]

Is financial support no longer required of the sperm donor? Or is it too much bother or legal work to chase the scoundrel down and make him pay? After all Uncle Sam will put the bill. We don’t need those stinking men!

[Texan5]

Thank you sir...

Single Motherhood worked so well for the black community, let's expand it to everybody.
Especially the successful, responsible and financially stable demographics, they have it too good.

I don't wish hardship on anybody but consequence free lifestyles have never ended well.

I think their kids would be better off in an orphanage.

[metmom]

The rise in dual-income families, where both parents work, puts single-parent families at an income disadvantage and at higher risk of economic insecurity.

That's a lie. What someone else makes has no bearing on my ability to make ends meet, or not.

Their own life choices put them higher risk for economic insecurity.

Liberal women love the government as their spouse. The government allows them to carouse all they want without penalty. Free abortions. Free welfare. No consequences!

This is exactly what happens when any society unhooks themselves from God and from divine moral guidance. A free-for-all with the demand, through the force of government, that no one “judge them” by telling them the truth.

[untenured]

“Single moms,” and the men who knock them up, need to stop creating through selfish behavior the children they expect the rest of us to be obligated to pay for, whatever the consequences to the children, and for the nation.

“ How about making better life choices then begging for welfare when you F up? Am I wrong? ”

No but you left out making the deadbeat men support their offspring rather than welfare.

[ifinnegan]

“ This is why the 19th Amendment was such a catastrophe; women vote for government to be their Sugar Daddy.”

The men who impregnate them should pay.
