Marriage is too risky for men. If you knock a girl up and she leaves you only lose 20% of your check instead of half of your assets and 20% of your check.

No wonder we have more male serial killers than female. Women are just suppose to suck it up while 'boys will be boys' still runs rampant. And 44% on TANF are domestic abuse survivors. I hardly call $600 a month sucking the system dry.
Men don't have abortion rights. women chose who they sleep with and the conditions they sleep with them. Additionally, all the pregnancy /birth options are held by the woman.

Almost none of them come from a home of responsible working parents. And in a lot of cases, the parents get involved with them in the crime.

But this much I agree with. Soucheray must have slumbered for a few years. People are BROKE because (a) the jobs in the economy are worse and worse; and (b) they've tried to shield themselves from the reality by running up ridiculous levels of debt. That's in home finance and government finance too. Bad parents do produce a lot of need for expenditure to handle the consequences of kids growing up thugs. Truth is that entertainment shares that blame. But, again, parents who were respected would be LISTENED to if they explained how useless these entertainers are. But single moms too often don't deserve to be authorities on how to live life successfully.
My points are VERY specific:

Single moms are not the cause of "us going broke." Period. If you can prove otherwise, then please do so - with verifiable facts.

You stated that single moms raise bad kids. Prove it.

Your above post addresses neither of these points...stay on topic.

That's advocacy?

And giving away free contraception ain't worth much if we discourage young girls from using it in the first place because we're afraid that it will "encourage them to have sex."

So I completely disagree with you.

No, it is not. Kids from a two parent home do pretty well regardless of race, region, or any other factor.

How Much Does Single-Mother Poverty Cost Our Nation? | Poverty & Policy

Caveat. That's DIRECT costs, and dated BEFORE the banking meltdown. You have to read more to see how many different ways single moms generate costs.
Which equals less than 3% of the total federal budget, which is not going to "make us broke."

Wow, you must be an Evelyn Wood graduate, replying that fast to my links. Admit it, you have no INTEREST in learning anything at all, in changing any opinion. You just want to fight to hold onto every opinion you had without any actual research to challenge it. Pretty much a hopeless case. By the way, are you or anyone you are related to on public assistance?

I think you missed the point.

Kids in the south are more likely to be raised in poverty. Kids in single-parent homes appear to be more likely raised in poverty. Is there a relationship between the south and single-parent homes? I mean, I wouldn't look at NH to identify a problem because they only have 12% of their children on reduced/free lunch. But I'd look at states like Texas and Alabama because they have close to 50% on reduced/free lunch. Something is messed up in those states.

What opinion do I refuse to change?

I have made one statements:

Single moms are not "making us go broke." I provided a link to support that statement.

I have made one request of you:

Please provide factual evidence to support your allegation that the majority of single moms raise bad kids.

Ball's in your court...
