When I was a boy back during WWII it was said that liberals (ie, undercover socialists and communists)in America were trying to destroy the family. Naturally the liberal news media said this was fantasy, and that the state just needed to make certain that all children had an equal chance. But somehow in the intervening years great damage has been done to the family in America. Now over 70% of black babies, 50% of Hispanic babies, and 20% of white babies are born out of wedlock. The children raised without a father have a high likelihood of not growing into well adjusted adults. Here is some discussion of this matter.
