I’ve had on-line spats with libs over issues like this. They spout off that whole anti-traditional family, “I’ll do what feels good cuz “who are you to say what’s right and wrong” BS. Then I try to explain to them how one thing leads to another...family dysfunction leading to societal ills etc. but they will not comprehend it because they are selfish immature people who just do not like any restraints placed on themselves.
I had a child out of wedlock at 17 and married the father. I never had any more children because I couldn’t afford one in the beginning and then found out our parenting styles were just too different and it caused a lot of conflict. My daughter had a baby 2 years ago. They live together in their own place now but he has not proposed. She had been depressed because having the child cramped her social life/free time and basically wanted me to be my grandson’s primary caregiver. Yet, she was afraid she might be pregnant again.
These kids (young adults) know all about sex and protection. The libs think throwing money at more “education” fixes everything and then when their “educating” has failed they just throw more money at it (welfare.) God forbid they stop and think about “morals.” One problem is there is no “shame” about anything anymore. Shame, when appropriate, is a good thing as it signals there is a moral conscience.
it was amongst whites less than one tenth of what it is now and amongst blacks one third
shame worked...and not just on illegitimacy
