"[M]ore than half of births to American women under 30 occur outside marriage."
And allowing same-sex marriage will make that even worse. Or something.

What?
[M]ore than half of births to American women under 30 occur outside marriage?!
Butt!...Butt!....
Danny and the HomoLiberal Gommorians have been telling us that Marriage is doing Great!
And that it doesn't matter anyway because any old random bunch of people can be a "family" and it is Just As Good!™ as a Real Marriage!
Unfortunately for the children unlucky to be born in Danny's Gommorah it isn't Just As Good.....
>>"The shift is affecting children’s lives. Researchers have consistently found that children born outside marriage face elevated risks of falling into poverty, failing in school or suffering emotional and behavioral problems."<<
Families matter.
Children need a mother and a father who are married to each other and faithful to their families.
Adultery and fornication are HELL on CHILDREN.

"Researchers have consistently found that children born outside marriage
face elevated risks of falling into poverty,
failing in school
and suffering emotional and behavioral problems."
Danny's gloating "Every Child deserves..." should be renamed
"Out of Wedlock Childrearing is HELL on CHILDREN"
Because the common theme is not heterosexuality.
It is being in a household with unmarried "caregivers".
just like 94% of the kids in the "ECDaMaaF" .....

who is trying to take away contraception?
is the only contraception available to american women
that that the government can force the catholic church to provide?
Really?
you sound ignorant.
did you know that 94% of catholic women use contraception?
without the pope paying for it?
put on some dry panties and go read a newspaper......

Yeah, the headline for the Romney link is incorrect. It's a profile of an evangelical Romney diehard.

"Reviewing the academic literature,
Susan L. Brown of Bowling Green State University recently found that
children born to married couples
“experience better education,
better social, better cognitive and better behavioral outcomes.”

"found that children born to married couples, on average, “experience better education, social, cognitive and behavioral outcomes.”
"Lisa Mercado, an unmarried mother in Lorain, would not be surprised by that.
Between nursing classes and an all-night job at a gas station,
she rarely sees her 6-year-old daughter,
who is left with a rotating cast of relatives.
The girl’s father has other children and rarely lends a hand.
“I want to do things with her, but I end up falling asleep,” Ms. Mercado said.
>>don't feel bad, sweetie-
no doubt the sex was adequate and you deserved it and putting your child through years of neglect and financial depravation and emotional hell is a small price to pay for a little nookie with your worthless pile of shit boyfriend.
it's the way we do things in Gommorah......
.
(oh, and don't forget the best part- sooner or later don't forget, one of the rotating cast of relatives will sexually abuse your daughter.... guaranteed.
Danny claims to care about the "children" but the lifestyle he advocated GUARANTEES children will be abused and neglected.)

@6 Social conservatives have consistently promoted abstinence only sex education, even though studies show it results in more pregnant teens. They have tried to limit access to new forms of contraception, such as the morning after pill. They want to defund Planned Parenthood, apparently they prefer unplanned parenthood. I'd say it's pretty clear that the Republicn party has become the anti-contraception party.
11
The article points out that women who have children before marriage
seldom finish their educations.
Irresponsible sexual behavior impacts women disproportionately
and sentences them and their spawn to lifetimes of poverty.
The lifestyle Danny advocates is HELL on Women and Children.

you haven't read that newspaper yet, have you.....
Studies (by the CDC and HHC) show that abstinence education postpones the time when teens first have sex.
even Slog posted the article.
.
while you're looking for that newspaper find a dictionary, too
look up 'contraception' and 'contragestion';
compare and contrast;
and report back what you learn.
.
Planned Mass Coldblooded Murder is a harsh substitute for "contraception".
at least 300,000 dead babies think so.....

find a newspaper yet?
Even Danny's boycrush Rick advocates making contraception available.
"Rick Santorum sought to clear up any confusion about his position on contraception Friday, telling reporters that he thinks it should be available.
"The position isn’t a new one for Mr. Santorum, but questions arose this week.
Speaking Friday in Columbus, Ohio, Mr. Santorum said, “Birth control can and should be available if people want to use it. They have a right to use it.”

That was a crummy commercial?!
I feel like that kid in "A Christmas Story." Drink more Ovaltine, indeed.

@12 And I once even heard about a Republican who helped an old lady cross the street once in the 50's! Doesn't fucking matter since they aren't around now effecting our lives in anyway, but I just felt like bringing it up as if it somehow mattered.
17
Uh, seems like doing that with a lime would be a great way to keep your microwave smelling lime-fresh. I need some limes.
18
@16: What's so wrong with historical perspectives? At the least, they're at least interesting anecdotally. At the most they provide possibilities about how history may or may not repeat itself.
19
@13: yeah, some studies have shown that abstinence-only education delays intercourse by a year or two, but you're forgetting that these studies also show that when these teens do have sex, they're less likely to use birth control. Way to cherry-pick, you incoherent moron.
20
@18 I agree. Although instead of Dem. Attorney General Thomas McGranery booting out of America old Hollywood movie icons even though they're not security threats, today's administration is tweaking artists visas processing to be so bureaucratic and slow international entertainers aren't even making it to our shores.
21
Once largely limited to poor women and minorities, motherhood without marriage has settled deeply into middle America. The fastest growth in the last two decades has occurred among white women in their 20s who have some college education but no four-year degree, according to Child Trends, a Washington research group that analyzed government data.
Sounds like Dan Savage's antediluvian views on heterosexuals and families need an update!
23
Hmm. Have you ever shot a watermelon with a rifle? It's much more spectacular. Keep the guns; microwaves are for amateurs.
24
@18 - I strongly support history research. Especially for the nincompoops running the current GOP & DEM strategies. Let's perhaps engage with some rationality in national politics, and stop with the emotionalist rhetoric.
Reagan raised taxes on the rich. And ALL politicians *should* be working for the needs of the majority (while protecting the rights of the minority). But that ain't happ'nin'. Politicians (left & right) are working for the needs of the rich.
The issue is systemic... seismic... time to go local.

now doucheretard,
we didn't say anything about abstinence only-
the studies we referenced were of abstinence as part of comprehensive sex ed and they yielded better results in all metrics.
why so bitter?
did you buy Danny's crapola advice about anal/oral as birth control and now you've got anal warts all down your throat?

@25: Um, you didn't actually reference any studies, you candy-ass roody-poo. Know your role and shut your mouth.
