Quote: I would counter with the fact that the majority of single parent homes are not the product of a failed or abusive relationship.  Trying to "justify" the many single parent homes is pretty much a losing argument.

Hey, I don't think most married couples are qualified to have children let alone the non married ones. People need to stop breeding just 'cause... You won't get an argument from me on that one. I am just pointing out that there are many reasons why, one being it's culturally more acceptable to get divorced. On the other hand there are a myriad of married people with gobs of kids that ought not have them because "go forth and multiply", or it's the only way they think they can find purpose and other such nonsense.
