Recently, there was a headline that hit the Associated Press and it was plastered all over the Online Media Outlets; "Are Single Mom's Ruining America?" The statistics are quite stunning over the last few decades, as nearly 70% of children are born out of wedlock.
The teenage mom birthrates are alarming as well. These situations are hard on government services and they increase costs, thus it is reflected in the public taxes. Those who argue that single moms are ruining America have some good data to back them up and juvenile delinquency is also way up, which they say is a factor of single motherhood.
What can be done, should we blame the single moms or should we blame fathers who disappear? The statistics seem to indicate that if you are going to blame someone, you would need to blame both the deadbeat dads and the moms as well. Some women just do not want the father around, as they do not want to have two children to look after.
Some cannot fathom a father helping to create a child then running away from responsibility. Of course, many of the fathers love to practice making babies, but do not actually want a little Jr. running around that they have to invest unbelievable amounts of time, energy and money into. They would rather go find their next conquest.
So are single moms really ruining America or are the fathers also to blame and who said America was ruined anyhow, it seems to still be the greatest nation ever created in the history of humankind to me. Maybe motherhood should be taking more seriously and birth control should be practiced more often. We need to be thinking here.
