"I can hardly think of a better bail out recipient than a young mother who chooses life."
I disagree. Flip the taxes so people who have more than 1 child don't get breaks anymore. We should follow the example of the Chinese and limit families to 2 kids max with heavy fines for more than that.

I can hardly think of a better bail out recipient than a young mother who chooses life. Have abortions dropped? Not drastically enough, for sure, but I believe they have. If we seek an end to the holocaust we must too be open to support this cause that is truly "too big to allow to fail". Teach, love, pray and support.

"Fewer religious nuts and more scientific treatment of the issue is what will make the difference. And the #1 way, proven to work, is to make birth control accessible and stigma-free. That is simply a proven fact."
Let's see you prove it. I really doubt you even know how to actually prove something (hint: it's not by repeatedly declaring it a "proven fact.")

Can we please be told which segments of our society are responsible for the 40% unmarried figure?

Clearly, it's all the fault of the illegal aliens. The real problem is the don't ask don't tell policy when it comes to who is the father of the baby. No questions asked as to who the father of the baby might be and certainly no looking into the matter if a name is brought up.
Really, it would be better if my wife and I divorced and she simply told the state she didn't know who the father of her child was. That was we could reap the countless benefits that go along with being a fatherless mother...I'm sure we could go on living together without the 'big-brother' ever looking into the matter.
40%! No other country comes close and there is little reason why.

Of course, with the massive influx of illegal aliens, we will see a great increase in the number of births out of wedlock. The vast majority of these illegals are overwelmingly Catholic and either do not believe in birth control or simply don't care. These babies are the anchor for a entire family to "legally" gain entry to the motherload of benefits that being an American is, without having to pay into the coffers to make the system work. Why we still alow this to happen is a mystery. The tide must be stopped, or we will be a bankrupt nation.....oops, too late

The Bible tells us, “At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven” (Matthew 22:30)

Liberal "progressives" have done a very good job on America's youth, haven't they. You will find these folks in Hollywood, in the Universities, and in the Democratic Party. Good job. Free love isn't, it costs someone, in some way. No need to even bring religion into it.
