I think if we're wealthier that would certainly help. People with more resources are more likely to use birth control and less likely to have this situation. They are more likely to marry also.Gosso wrote: I agree that the situation is pretty much hopeless. All we can really do is weep and ask for forgiveness. We have opened Pandora's Box.
I don't have the numbers in front of me....but I'm 100% certain that girls who grow up with dad in the home are much much less likely to get pregnant before marriage.
So how does the population get wealthier, have marriage and self responsibility become virtues again?
I think it has to start with the end of the handouts. Does anyone still think the handouts stem the tide of poverty or instead turn it into a tidal wave?
