“So what does a person do if their wife or husband dies and they wind up a single parent?”

Look, that’s different. And you know it is. This daughter of Sarah Palin is NOT a widow, nor is the father a widower. They both consciously got themselves “pregnant,” dawdled through her mother’s campaign “thinking” about getting married, and are now boring me with their not getting married.

Perfect examples of people who should give up the baby. Their both unfit parents. Sarah might be a great grandmother (and I believe that she’d be so), but her daughter, in my book, is a disgrace to Sarah and common decency. What’s stopping her (and what HAS stopped her) from getting married? Nothing that we know of. Give up the baby . . .

So, again, marriage makes someone a fit parent? If that's so, why are there so many screwed up kids in the world- a lot of which come from a two parent family?

I love how because someone isn't married, and even though both parents are involved in raising a child, they are automatically unfit because there's no ring on the finger.

I agree with you absolutely that more unmarried singles should be encouraged to give up their children for adoption. They can't even adequately and properly support themselves, let alone children. Many of these young single women, get on the welfare roles, with their children, for years at taxpayers expense, when there is an abundance of married couples willing and able to adopt.

Ann Coulter nails it in her book. It's all backwards and very wrong. This has been one of my pet peeves for years, since working as a Probation Officer and witnessing this kind of thing up front and in person.
