Fathers disappear from households across America

Fathers disappear from households across America
Big increase in single mothers

As another single mother on Sumner Road decked her row-house stoop with Christmas lights and a plastic Santa, Ms. Hawkins recalled that her middle child’s father has never spent a holiday or birthday with her. In her neighborhood in Southeast Washington, 1 in 10 children live with both parents, and 84 percent live with only their mother.

In every state, the portion of families where children have two parents, rather than one, has dropped significantly over the past decade. Even as the country added 160,000 families with children, the number of two-parent households decreased by 1.2 million. Fifteen million U.S. children, or 1 in 3, live without a father, and nearly 5 million live without a mother. In 1960, just 11 percent of American children lived in homes without fathers.

America is awash in poverty, crime, drugs and other problems, but more than perhaps anything else, it all comes down to this, said Vincent DiCaro, vice president of the National Fatherhood Initiative: Deal with absent fathers, and the rest follows.

People “look at a child in need, in poverty or failing in school, and ask, ‘What can we do to help?’ But what we do is ask, ‘Why does that child need help in the first place?’ And the answer is often it’s because [the child lacks] a responsible and involved father,” he said.

Also, I feel there is no question that the decline of the traditional 2 parent family has had a lot to do with the decline in morality over the last 30 years. We have the Women's movement to thank for this. They screeched throughout the nation back in the 60's & 70's, while burning their bras, that we are women, hear us RAWR, we could raise children without a man, bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan. Who needs a man? We can have babies by artificial insemination. Who needs a father in the home? We are women, we can do it and have it all.

No, we can't. Not if we want to do what's right for the children, (our future) we can't. Something has to give. **

This is the main reason why the entire country is failing. The devil knew that attacking the family would have the most devastating results on a society so he fed it to the libs and they bought it "hook, line & sinker".

That's quite a leap in logic. It's obvious when you make a statement like this you have no expertise or facts, or do you? If so, demonstrate please.

I'm pretty sure Shaniqua and Tammy Lynn aren't being independent and modern by having a child with a random hookup. More likely they're too stupid to use birth control when they rut, or they're just looking to make money off either the sperm donor or the state.

Let's not go the "blame Murphy Brown" route when most single mothers are not self-supporting and their pregnancy was not a conscious decision. They are more like cats in heat than thinking humans.
