The collapse of the black family, he contended, would have devastating social consequences. Branded a racist for merely stating facts, [Sen. Daniel Patrick] Moynihan was drummed into silence.
As we all know, Moynihan was vindicated. Today, only a third of black children are born to married parents. Over 70% are born outside wedlock….
… [T]heir members first had to get a discriminatory school policy overturned:
Since 2002, anyone wanting to start a pro-life club on campus has had only one opportunity every 365 days, at an annual general meeting, to try and gain official club status, whereas any other club simply had to apply at a Student Forum, which takes place weekly.
But now some “pro-choice” students have taken to Facebook and are working to get the club de-affiliated.
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
And obviously if you accuse any one of engaging in that practice it will be denied. What needs to be done besides electing someone who will actually help to improve our economy is to set up a 1-800 number where victims can place a simple call. The state we’re in as a country is so sad you have to use humor or you would cry. Here’s a little humor to lighten the sadness. We’ll call it sad humor. And we will presume it is from an elderly individual. 911 yes what is your emergency well I’m not sure but my family member keeps talking life insurance and when a really nice car passes by looks at me and the subject of life insurance comes up again. 911 so what’s the emergency? elder individual I like life.
Sad humor are not the right words. Reality humor I think is more appropriate. Or maybe realism humor. And the definition of realism humor would be an accurate depiction of a cultural trend.
One of the many fashionable notions that have caught on among some of the intelligentsia is that old people have “a duty to die,” rather than become a burden to others.
If so, then there might be a changing-of-tune when those of the intelligentsia who so proclaim get to be old, themselves. In my opinion, anyway. ; )
Health care is a huge deal, and along with the general decline in standard of living that I expect for most Americans, there are some tough choices to be made.
Very interesting article about fatherlessness. i guess I really shouldn’t comment — I’m divorced, but when my son was adopted I was married and my ex-husband has tried to remain a part of my son’s life.
There are many capable and good single mothers, but I do agree that a child needs a father, or at least a strong male role model in his life. I mentioned before that I am a child welfare social worker and it’s rare that we get a case with a child who is in an intact family. This doesn’t seem to be important to many women. It’s not unusual for me to hear a young woman say that she doesn’t want to “be with” a man, she just wants his baby.
I know it’s not politically correct, but anyone who wants to see the effect fatherlessness has on families need only to look at the crisis in the African American community, where almost three-quarters of children are born to single mothers. Social scientists can make as many excuses as they want, but the effect has been devastating. One good thing about Obama is that he does seem to be a strong and loving father to his two little girls and is a good role model in this respect, but particularly for black men.
