When conservatives say the ideal family consists of one father and one mother, do they realize they are marginalized families where one parent died, like perhaps a father who was killed in Iraq?
Could you tell a child of a dead war vet his family was not ideal?
What about a two opposite-sex parent family where one parent is highly abusive? Wouldn't a single parent, non-abusive environment be better?
What about a two opposite-sex parent family where both parents abuse narcotics? Wouldn't a stable, financially secure, loving same-sex family be a better environment?
With so many one mother and one father families that are broken up by death and divorce, or that have one or both parents as abusive, neglectful, drug addicted, crazy, etc, isn't unrealistic to restrict children to a one mother and one father family?
I'm of the opinion that ideal families come with one single *loving* and capable parent or two *loving* and capable parents.
