The US gov't just released these preliminary data from the CDC Vital Statistics for 2005. These are not my statistics and the word "bastard" is in the dictionary and has been there for hundreds of years defining people born out-of-wedlock, so don't take offense. . . it's a fact today involving over 1/3 of the nation!

You really have a lot of time on your hand if you constantly obsess about what other people are doing in their lives. Many women myself included were quite self sufficient and economically stable at that age. If a women chooses to have a child then that is her right. not yours Who are you to judge anyone, matrimony is a man made procedure and a child born out of wedlock is no less likely to be cherished. and loved than one born legitimate.

I don't. Most women that are 25-29 years old that decide to be single mothers are most likely set educationally, financially, job wise, and mature enough to be able to handle being a single mother. Do your sorces tell you that these women in the 25-29 range that are single mothers CHOSE that, and didn't end up like that by accident? If a woman is unmarried and in that age range and she wants kids, it is better for her to have the kids then than it is for her to wait a few years when she gets married. After a certain age(mid to late 30's), there are more chances for problems with birth and the child being less healthy when born to an older woman.
And how in the hell does the "bastard" or "illegitimate" status effect the way a person is or how they impact society? We aren't all nobles that need legitimate heirs to carry on our legacy. The concept of "bastardy" or "illegitimacy" being a bad thing went away with the concept of nobility here in the States.

You bring up a good discussion question. How does it affect us? I always wonder about what will happen to these women and children. Are the women self-supporting or just accidentally got pregnant and now must deal with the consequences? Who will financially support the child? What about growing up in a household where the primary breadwinner is gone most of the time in order to make a living and is not there to raise and train that child up? Why didn't they choose abortion? Are they living with the child's father and if so, what do they expect will happen to that relationship? Is this child going to have any role models growing up or just left to fend for himself? Are the woman's parents going to raise the child?
There are just so many questions and difficulties in life now that bringing a child into the world is difficult under the best of circumstances with two loving married and committed parents, so why would a single woman opt for this? What is she thinking?
In case you're wondering at this point, I think it's a really bad idea for all concerned and yes, I would think that abortion would generally be a better alternative than to bring a child into the world that you cannot take care of and raise up with a good education and the ability to be successful in life.

i've got self assurance sorry for that baby. She does not have a early existence, and you recognize she will have fairly some subjects via the time she reaches adulthood. I heavily doubt her mom would be around to work out her graduate. "It makes people satisfied, and that i'm no longer harming all people," she says. seem your 4 365 days old daughter interior the attention and tell her that. tell her that she resides in a valid living house environment that's healthy for a coming up baby. in case you're able to try this, then you certainly heavily want help. sure, you're hurting somebody. you're hurting the baby you gave beginning to who 'set you aside' from all the different freaks on the internet. while it takes 30 scientific experts which you would be able to offer beginning, that's nature and God saying which you're able to no longer breed.

Hi welcome to the 21st century, where have you been?
First of all, sir. You don't have to be married to be a good mom or raise a child. Did you know that most children who come from a home with parents who are good or happily married are the ones in gangs, robberies, and in drugs and alcohol?
If you are financially, and emotionally why can't you have a kid? I mean think about it, married couples end up getting pregnant never wanting the baby in the first place, is that right?
And how is it any of your business? Get off yahoo and get a life. And stop judging people.
I'm not going to lower myself to you and call you names. So I'll leave it at that.

by the time a woman is 25-29 she has had a chance to go to school and have a good job so what does it matter? who said these baby's don't have daddy's? since when do you have to married to be Daddy? Come on how many kids are born to married couples where the father(the man that is half that kids DNA) is not a part of the kids life? Ya so what if there is not a wedding ring what should be important is that the child is cared for and loved. Man I would hate to hear what you have say on two mommy or two daddy raising a kid.

Good question. I'm unsure who actually 'cares', but I would be interested to know whether these 3 out of 10 children, are after say 10 years, still with their birth parents, married or not. I don't think it has much bearing on the 'birth' of a child whether his/her parents are married at the time but I would certainly think there is an impact later in their life if/whether the birth parents are split up or still together

Unmarried doesn't necessarily equal 'single mother'. Lots of people just cohabit these days, but still have children and there is absolutely nothing wrong with this.
Please understand the difference and stop making assumptions.

Only bastards will keep an equilibrium in the world from the assaults of Islamic Terrorists because, the greater Christian population will with-stand the every growing Islamic 4-wife per Male population boom. Just imagine, if this 30% figure reduces, so will American/Christian dominance.
In my opinion, it is healthy to increase this to 50%.

It should worry you that more and more single young women give birth. That means more single parent households and a more disfunctional society. It also speaks poorly of the male's committment and responsibility towards their offspring, whether these are voluntarily or involuntarily conceived. It speaks of the woman's decision to go ahead without a partner and to raise the kids herself.
A chilling percentage indeed.
