So women have more choices now than they used to. I find it to be inconsequnetial that less women are married now than in previous years. BTW, Mark, how is this liberal bias? That these two guys make a joke about women needing men less shows their liberal bias? That's a stretch.

I think some of you guys are losing some perspective here. I've met some republican feminists, and they're just as committed and fearsome as their democratic partners. I don't watch the Early Show or whatever it's called, but if these two men decide that they aren't needed that just means more women for the rest of the men. I've yet to meet a feminist who was truly satisfied with her home life.

The decline of marriage is not good for society. I just don't see how anyone can argue otherwise. Heteros who live as a family unit without being married is nothing but sad. Make a commitment!

I would love to see some statistical data around the incomes of these children growing out of single mother families.  I will bet anyone a Ruth Chris steak that children born into two parent (man and a woman) families earn much higher incomes and are better off.  Of course better off is in the eye of the beholder.  If you are a liberal and depend upon the government for your well-being, then these kids are exactly what they need.  More victoms.  I find it curious that they would tout this given how much poorer our students are preforming in school.  The MSM obviously does not think that we can put two and two together.

Here's the real problem: Middle-class American women not reproducing. Or reproducing without a male to help raise the children.

1. The demographics in this country is alarming. European culture, or Western culture, does not reproduce at a rate to sustain its population. Thus they import muslims to replace the children that European women couldn't bother having. That, of course, results in Eurabia and the decline of European civilization. The same is true in this country. The invasion of illegals (and their high birth rate) from south of the border will soon cause the demographics in this country to shift power toward these illegals and their offspring. That's not good for our American culture.
2. Raising children without a male is asking for disaster. Everyone knows, except feminazis, that a male-female union is the only union in which children thrive and grow-up properly. Thanks to feminazis, women have been brainwashed to believe that being narcissistic is a good thing. Thus, the ill-mannered ill-bred illiterate children being raised by single mothers.

 I was 35 when I met my husband and 36 when we got married.  We did not live together, in fact he was over 500 miles away in GA while I lived in VA & I didn't move in until we were then Lt. & Mrs. G.  It wasn't like for lack of trying but I could have married some real losers but decided not too make a mistake just because I wanted to get married. 

I think that children should grow up in two parent homes if possible and it would be even better if those parents were married before the child was born. 

I need my husband.  Maybe Russ & Harry's wives don't need them but they sure don't speak for me.  My parents will be married 51 years on the 28th of January.  I hope that we attain that goal as well. 

This is news?? Democrats (especially liberals) have publicly stated single women and, especially, single mothers are one of their most reliable voting blocks. Ever wonder how long a newscaster has to look when doing a story concerning those living in poverty to find a "standard family" to interview? The answer is a veeery looong time. I understand there are three in the country and they're booked out on interviews through the year 2010. If the government didn't do everything possible to encourage single-parent families (95% of the time the single parent is female), the poverty rate would plummet. Liberals have total government dependency of as many people as possible as their long-term goal. So, as I say, "this is news?"

The "voting blocks" of single mothers/single women added to new voting blocks of illegal immigrants voting courtesy of "motor voter" and "no I.D. voting" and the felon voting laws winding their way through most state legislatures right now, the (approximately) ten million new voters virtually all pushing the "D" button, will guarantee the Democratic Party dominance for decades to come. When they take over the White House in 2009, they will be able to pass a national felon voting law. Then the two-party system will become a relic of American history.

We had our window of opportunity but frittered it away playing by the rules we let the media set for us. Don't expect the Democrats to play with the same civility now that they've regained power and don't expect this opportunity we wasted to come our way again during the life times of most of us. The Republican Party is speeding toward becoming a mostly ignored weak second party with no power of any value. This "news" is just one of many confirmations that we've lost. Get used to it. We've lost. As someone famous once said, "I know I've lost. I'm just trying to lose as slowly as possible".
