<p>mamita, From the article,

<p>I challenge this as automatically being a bad thing. In this thread (or perhaps another, I’m having a senior moment), someone shared how in Sweden more than 50% of children are being born out of wedlock to parents who are co-habitating instead. Those children are doing just as well as their peers whose parents are married. Then there is the data that shows that the income and education level of a single mother are far more deterministic than the fact of single parenthood itself.</p>
<p>I also fiercely disagree that the fabric of America is damaged nearly beyond repair. There is not an abyss where once a society stood, rather there is a change in that society. The evidence thus far is not supporting the idea that anything less than a man and a woman with 2 children is an inherent disaster.</p>
