Fatherless Girls
(Source: www.wnd.com)Since the 1960s, women have been sold a bill of goods when they were told they could have it all. And for too many women, “having it all” included having children without the financial support of a husband.

The programs include housing, food, education, training, health care, social services, and a host of others. Many of the programs produce only modest or worse results, but program developers and scholars throughout the country are trying to improve the programs and, at least in some cases, they are making progress.Young adults who finish high school, get a full-time job, and wait until age 21 and get married before having children “had a 2 percent chance of winding up in poverty and a 74 percent chance of winding up in the middle class (defined as earning roughly $50,000 or more). By contrast, young adults who violated all three norms had a 76 percent chance of winding up in poverty and a 7 percent chance of winding up in the middle class. Read more by clicking here
