[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the key problems for Allyson is that after agreeing to proceed with the pregnancy at the boyfriend's behest, neither of them seemed to want to work too hard to make the relationship work.  She should have conditioned continuing the pregnancy upon getting married, in which event she would now be having an easier time getting child support.  But by not getting married, it made it that much easier for their family unit to fall apart.

Patrick Moynahan's seminal 1960s study identified the disintegration of the AA nuclear family as one of the pathways to systemic, multigenerational poverty.  That same disintegration now affects the white working class.  Yes, there are lots of macroeconomic factors such as the decline of the manufacturing sector at work---but she made it that much worse for herself by depriving her child of another income at home.
