I've thought about this controversial issue for quite sometime.
I'm a black American woman that simply can not understand why so many poor urban women continue to have children, without any male support. Obviously, the overall rapid decay of vast urban communities, seem to prove that single parent homes are ineffective. Sadly, the children almost always end up either dead or in jail.
Given the grim circumstances, why do urban women continue to have out of wedlock children, without any male assistance or help from their male partners?
Not really. Welfare reform put an end to the increases. Most impoverished women can not simply collect welfare, without agreeing to partake in the welfare to work/menial job program.
Urban areas are filled with poverty and crime. Obviously, the current model is not working out well. It just doesn't make sense to engage in practices that are clearly self-destructive.

Because women have some innate desire to procreate, even if they very well shouldn't. Poor people in general have very poor impulse control

You're talking to someone, along with his co-thinkers, that thinks food stamps can buy you lobster dinner with filet mignon every night

Oh bull****. There are so many ways around that crap it isn't even funny.

She was talking to someone who knows all too well that welfare and food assistance abuse is real. I don't know where you got your lobster and filet BS from, maybe you're thinking of someone else.

We all have that inner desire to procreate, but common sense should intervene, if the circumstances will create havoc in our lives or quite possibly the lives of others...

It's laughable that people actually believe welfare recipients do well. In actuality, most earn less than 20K per year and often reside in crime infested areas.

Believe me, there have been several topics on SNAP benefits, and many of the RWNJs all claim to have seen people buy luxurious food with SNAP benefits, as if SNAP is some kind of bottomless pit
