Is the Increase in Single Motherhood Leading to Disintegration?
Many sociologists, psychologists, & educators decried that the rise of single motherhood will lead to the disintegration of American society. Daniel Moynihan did a study regarding this subject in the 1960s indicating that children function better in two parent households. Studies continues to substantiate that children who are raised in single parent households grow into dysfunctional adults. Iyanla Vanzant asserted that children who grew up in single mother households tend to be imprisoned more & exhibited more dysfunctional behaviors.
Furthermore, girls who become single mothers have one of the highest rates of lifetime poverty as their educational & career goals are derailed because of an unplanned pregnancy. What can be done to not reward single motherhood in American society?What’s your view on same sex couples having children?
The background to my question is that in the UK the Conservative Party Leader in Scotland, Ruth Davidson and her partner, Jen Wilson, had a child in 2018 after Ruth Davidson underwent a successful IVF procedure.
Although a Scottish Conservative Party Leader while also a lesbian in a same sex relationship, and having a child in that relationship by IVF; which does challenge Conservative Values, she is nevertheless the 13th most popular Conservative politician in Britain, and the 40th most popular politician overall.
