What I find funny is that its these Christian Americans, from Poor Catholics of the North East like IRish, Italians and Puerto RIcans to Catholic Mexicans of the American SouthWest to Protestant Baptist Blacks all ova the country to All sorts of Protestant white women having all these kids out of wedlock and being single mothers. And to top of it off its the same ones who also get married and causes the high rate of divorce in this country. People need to use rational when dating and being in relationships. Thank goodness that I'm a idealist and rationalist aswell as an Athiest, it helps me make better choices in life.

Can you please post a link supporting this? You are so off target and this just your opinion. Read the article. It has nothing to do with Catholics or Christians or other religions.

Exactly, it's ethnicity, but not ALL and it has nothing to do with religion. Those people may not be moving to America but I'm certain it exists in other countries too. Let's face it, if you ask me it's about morals. If some girl wants to have multiple babies with different baby daddys, go right ahead. Stupid is the next guy to come along who takes a dip in that pool. Got a relative exactly like that. My husband's cousin has a daughter that can't seem to keep her legs closed. Yes, that's harsh, but I call it like I see it. I think she has 6 kids and she's not even 30. I think 1 or 2 might have the same father. She had given birth and got knocked up by some other guy 6 WEEKS LATER. The baby is about a year old and he's gone too.

You husbands counosin should not be seeing anyone until she is a bit more older and wiser, she should wait till her kids are more grown and she should start going back into the dating pool.

What gets me are the men who enjoy planting their seed and ignore financial obligation to the child they helped create. Do they think kids live on air and water? Shame on the single mothers who let the fathers get away without taking care of their children.

Signs of the times. I am so happy I have a 28 year old girlfriend who knows how to behave. Man articles like this just show me how lucky I am.

YOU may not need a man but your kids do. I would've killed to have a two parent household growing up.
Sadly its a domino affect. The removal of men from the family foundation has many bad effects. One thing leads to another and the pride of the weaker sex will continue to gain more control in the wrong direction of society.

This isn't the 20s. Stop pretending to be a puritan.

Nobody has to be a puritan to act responsibly.
