[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course it’s true.  I doubt any support from the government or any other institution is forthcoming. No one cares about families, kids, or even society anymore.  It’s allllllll about the $$$$$$$$[/quote]

+1. I admit I didn't read the article. Because articles like this do nothing to put policies in place that would encourage healthy two parent families. Things like universal access to birth control and maternity care. Paid family leave. Child care subsidies/universal preschool. Instead we get moralizing and calls for women to resume "traditional" roles. I don't doubt this piece is either a fantasy that Republicans will support social programs or shaming women and their choices.[/quote]

Not disagreeing with your conclusions (sadly) but I’m curious why you feel some of the social programs that benefit all families will create more two parent households?  Or were you thinking maternity leave, public preK, etc would only be available to married couples so encouraging parents to get/stay married?[/quote]
