In 1941, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the United States entered World War II, there were 2,515,427 babies born in this country. Of those babies, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 95,700 -- or 3.8% -- were born to unmarried mothers.
The traditional family led by a mother and father was a foundational fact of American culture.
In 1945, the percentage of babies born to unmarried mothers rose to 4.3%. But, by 1946, the first full year after the war, it dropped back down to 3.8%.
The traditional family survived.
Then in the 1950s, the percentage of American babies born to unmarried mothers began to slowly tick upward,

"Why by a cow when milk is cheap or free?" Old say, still true. Women choose really, really poorly much of the time. And the whole feminism thing, too.....being empowered is having sex with random one night stands?
The single best indicator of poverty is a single parent home. It's the MOST CERTAIN way to have no money, limited future, limited options in life. And huge numbers choose to be caught in a web of disaster, entirely of their own making.
Life is all about choices. 40% are choosing extremely poorly.

There is a difference between being a widow or even divorced and choosing to have four children fathered by three different men who don't give a crap about their spawn. The woke must condemn married couples raising children because 90% of the black community doesn't live that way and they certainly cannot disagree with them. If you really think this is not a problem you are an idiot.

Feminism has screwed up the whole relationship between the sexes. Add in the false narrative of the oppression of women which resulted in every government program from kindergarden to college being geared toward advancing girls at expense of boys, and you now have a generation or more of females thinking they can have it all simply because they're female. Trouble is, mother nature is still playing by the old rules. I know a lot of young men in their mid-twenties. They find many of today's young women pushy and somewhat obnoxious, so they've decided to concentrate on their jobs instead. They don't avoid contact with girls, but in those moments when they think I'm not listening, they comment that in some cases, it wasn't them that brought up the topic of having sex, it was the girl's idea.

77% of blacks born to unwed mothers, ( and that doesn't count the abortions) 49% of Hispanics born to unwed mothers. 30% for Whites.

The Media kind of culture we have permits "sexual activity" as an activity we all do - with anyone anyone (male or female). The nation's welcome of immorality (a rejection of God) is destroying us. And it is not getting better.

This issue should be talked about ad infinitum as it is probably the single most important reason as to why so many children raised in Fatherless homes turn out to be thugs, drug dealers, drug users, and are always getting into trouble preying on innocent people. A home without a Father is not a home. There is a complete lack of morality in our society as a result the left demonizing anyone who connects the dots on the horrible outcomes of Fatherless children. It would be grossly redundant to say the left doesn't give a damn about the inevitable path these kids go down without a Father or other male role model in the home. The lack of or inability of people to speak out about this generational problem just creates an endless loop of failure. Progressive left policies have kept Blacks from succeeding since the 60's. The left is absolutely ok with this perpetual problem.

Saw this on Newsmax earlier this afternoon - some bill to help fatherless boys in Florida is working its way through the legislative process. The person hawking it didn't say exactly what the bill would do: more money, what exactly? I don't begrudge him and others wanting to help but not with our tax dollars. These children, i.e., whoever is raising them, already get plenty of tax dollars via Medicaid, WIC, EBT cards, etc. As far as I am concerned, use our tax dollars to build orphanages, etc to house the boys, train and educate them to be proactive young men and stop with the handouts that fail everyone.

I don't like these kinds of articles because they are usually an excuse to blame women. Why aren't men equally at fault for "fatherlessness?" After all, they are the fathers. Both men and women should be expected to delay having children until they are married. The men who have children by multiple mothers and effectively abandon them are let off the hook while the women are blamed for having picked losers.

A friend of mine recommends that Poster #9 should re-read the article - - and try to understand the point that it's making.
This friend has crazy ideas sometimes. Does anyone agree with my friend?

Claiming single parent status enables federal support for unofficially married moms as well as committed bachelorette moms. For many this is a well established strategy that has been going on for years. Unfortunately for many other moms it is out of necessity as they have no help and are unable to provide for themselves and their children. Federal programs were intended for them, but they have become an income source to be maximized as part of a lifestyle choice.
