They've conveniently left out the explanation offered for this, which is poverty.

(the rates are actually substantially higher, unfortunately)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Part of the tea bagger manifesto is that if you're poor it is your own fucking fault....not the wonderful companies who sent your job to Bangla Desh.

Stark raving lunatics....every last one of them.

It is easier to fall prey to poverty as a single parent. I don't find it ideal. Of course, most people who are single parents didn't exactly plan it that way.

RE: Wisconsin: Single Parenting is Child Abuse
Yeah, the people who do plan it that way usually already have the financial means.

Or they are total fucking idiots. Big Grin However, I think anyone who doesn't have the financial means or at least the financial potential to raise a child and has one anyway is an idiot.

Wouldn't call it that, as it can become the case the one of the parents dies, or that the child is simply the offspring of an illegitimate union gone wrong, with one of the parents leaving the other and the child to their fate, divorces and many other things.
However, I think that ideally, children should be raised by a mother and a father together.

I think that ideally, children should be raised by someone who loves them. Whether that is one parent, two parents, three parents, etc. I don't give a damn.

Well, you don't, but the child might.
I've known people whose parents were divorced, who told me that she was raised by her mother. Even though his mother got him everything he got, treated him very tolerantly and etc., he still missed the presence of his father.
Kept in touch with him for years without even seeing him.
Well, that's all there is to it.
I think that the core of the family requires a mother and father figure.
Single parenting is also harder than most, taking care of the home, and providing for the home while taking care of the children is hard.
In an ideal family, these tasks are distributed, making it lot less harder on the parents, and the children.
