Governments have a vested interest in encouraging from both a legal rights and financial perspective, marriage between a man and a woman, the only coupling that can truly form a family. The family is then the bedrock unit of a strong society that the government should be, and in fact should only be, interested in helping to development.

Marriage is more than a religous committment. It is the foundation for every successfull society since the beginning of time.

As goes the American Family - so goes America.

Government, like cancer, has a “vested interest” in growing and infiltrating its surroundings.

Capitalize this: you’re wrong.

Yes. You understand the political issue.

To take the point a step further. Those "liberal" types, whom the hard core Leftists used to refer to as "useful idiots," argued back in the 1930s, when the ADC program was proposed, that the Government should take the stigma out of having children out-of-wedlock. The idea was that the children were innocent victims, forced to endure undeserved social stigma. The point was valid up to a point; but that social stigma, however unkind to the innocents, was society's way of discouraging an unfortunate social process.

The result of taking the stigma out in that case, ended up being 15 or more times as high a percentage of American children forced to grow up without the benefit (blessing) of a normal constructive family. 15 or more times as many children crying over what they lacked.

Just offering "food for thought."
