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."
That’s what happens when you let the government intrude into (and inevitably mess up) a societal institution.
