The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported last week that there were 3,613,647 births registered in the United States in 2020 and that 1,464,121 of these—or 40.5 percent--were to unmarried mothers.

"The percentage of all births to unmarried women was 40.5% in 2020," said the CDC's "Births: Final Data for 2020" report.

The CDC also reported that 42.0% percent of births in the United States in 2020 were covered by government-funded Medicaid.

Among the 50 states, according to the report's Supplemental Table I-7, Mississippi had the highest percentage of babies born to unmarried mothers (55.8 percent).

How do Dems and others think this is sustainable?

[Bayard]

If they’re making a permanent underclass slave society they don’t care.

A small point curiously missing from the report...

80% OF BLACK BABIES BORN INTO FATHERLESS HOMES.

[Secret Agent Man]

Break it down by racial demographics and see the even bigger issues.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

Imagine what the Chinese think when they see this.

[MissEdie]

What, that the current prevailing culture in our public schools is now becoming mainstream?

[Seruzawa]

Our civilization is just running on inertia now.

[rrrod]

Tears for my country.

42.0% Born on Medicaid

~~~

Wow just wow.
Clevon would be proud

[Old Grumpy]

I can remember when it was shameful to be an unmarried mother. Seems like a lifetime ago. Sigh.

[Savage Beast]

Yes another mark of decadence: the decadence of Western Civilization in America.

[PGR88]

How do Dems and others think this is sustainable?

Its sustainable with massive government spending, which is sustainable with massive debt, which sustains the bloated DC welfare and deep-state, which in turn is sustained by fiat money, at manipulated low interest rates, which is enabled by the the US$, for now anyway, being the largest reserve currency.

Now, if any of those things should change....

[SgtHooper]

These are new Rat voters whose life of living off others will ultimately destroy this country. I wonder how many different fathers there are to the kids of a single mother (or muthas)!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Uncle Sam has morphed into Papa Bill.

When the TV is used as a babysitter and the parent doesn’t take the time to teach morals, this is what happens. Whores and sperminators, not mothers and fathers.

[Antoninus]

Welcome to post-Christian America. It's an unfolding disaster of epic proportions:

The Health Toll of Single Motherhood

Increased health risks of children with single mothers: the impact of socio-economic and environmental factors

[dartuser]

The government via the Dem party has replaced the black father in the home ... a black woman doesn’t need a father for her kids, uncle sugar takes care of them.

[Buttons12]

I’m just worried about what percentage are feral. You can fix poverty.

[Antoninus]

Our civilization is just running on inertia now.

Yup. Basically, Gen-X was the last somewhat normal generation who grew up understanding (for the most part) what true morality entailed and its relationship to liberty. All subsequent generations have grown up with the relativistic bizarro-morality of the current age. I have already told my kids that they will inherit a dystopia but that it's up to them to carve out a niche of sanity for themselves and set things right if they can. To date, they seem up to the challenge. The current cohort of homeschoolers may save this country yet.
