“Married women with children are even more Republican [than] those who don’t have children; single women who have children are even more Democratic than those who don’t.”

The more married fathers you have, the less government you need to support women and children.

And now you know why sex education, contraception, abortion, sexual promiscuity, the corruption of childhood innocence, and the denigration of fatherhood and authentic masculinity are so important to the Left. It's their ongoing meal ticket.

Whole, happy, productive families don't need much governing. Broken, unhappy family-substitutes do. Sexual license and tyrannical government are just two sides of the same coin.

The issue here isn't single motherhood, it's welfare parenthood. People who have children when they can't support them are irresponsible, whether they're married or single. And their irresponsibility nearly always continues as they raise (or simply ignore) the child.

Look at a sample of married parents who are perpetually on welfare, and you'll see the same sort of lousy outcomes with the kids, as you see with single mothers who are perpetually on welfare.
