Children living in households with unrelated adults are nearly 50 times as likely to die of inflicted injuries as children living with two biological parents, according to a study of Missouri data published in the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2005.

Children living in stepfamilies or with single parents are at higher risk of physical or sexual assault than children living with two biological or adoptive parents, according to several studies co-authored by David Finkelhor, director of the University of New Hampshire's Crimes Against Children Research Center.

Girls whose parents divorce face significantly higher risk of sexual assault, whether they live with their mother or father, according to research by Robin Wilson, a family law professor at Washington and Lee University.

It seems clear that divorce and bastardom are a threat to the safety of our children.

Do you think we can count on Barack Obama to do what is necessary to safeguard the nation's children?

EDIT: In addition the Connecticut shooter lived with his single mother. Perhaps if his parents had not divorced the 20 children who died would still be alive. The fact that it is possible they might be means we need to act!

How does no-fault divorce fit in? Should people stay miserable just to preserve a marriage? Some people for whatever reason cant get along. Maybe we need a no-cost divorce. Just a one time filing fee with no court costs like when you get married.

Why expect your spouse to pay for child support just because you get a divorce. Why did the government ever get involved in this?

Did the state ever force you to have children?

This seems like a bad thing.

remove all dependent deductions and free education. Those who choose to have kids need to feel the full economic impact of their decision. The tax payer need not be in the business of subsidizing your litter of kids.

So correlation equals causation now? Is the only problem here that people get divorced, or is it that the type of people who get divorced enter into more harmful relationships which are more dangerous to children? Are people who have children out of wedlock more likely to be abusive, or is it really just that the institution of marriage automatically improves one's parenting skills?

This part of the article may address that:

“I've seen many cases of physical and sexual abuse that come up with boyfriends, stepparents,” said Eliana Gil, clinical director for the national abuse-prevention group Child help.

“It comes down to the fact they don't have a relationship established with these kids,” she said. “Their primary interest is really the adult partner, and they may find themselves more irritated when there's a problem with the children.

It would never get past Republicans in Congress. Hits too close to home.

If you divorce, the government terminates any children (under 18). Problem solved, You're welcome America.

Seems like the OP has come from a broken family and is doing his bet to ensure that no others have to endure the result.

Perhaps, but I feel he just wants to find a way to criminalize women who don't submit to judgement and rules of men. If you haven't noticed from his past posts, he hates women the way most children hate broccoli.

So preventing girls from being sexually assaulted is "hating women" now? :hmm:

Where am I proposing forcing women to submit to men.

Both men and women will be required to be and stay married if they want to have children.

Given liberals support for same-sex marriage it seems clear they do not think marriage is about forcing women to submit to men.

You cant force morality. In fact this is just what the Left fears about the right. However, the Federal government promotes illigetimacy by paying people on welfare. The problem they want to fix is just made worse by their policies.

We should be promoting 2 parent families.

Barack Obama? You are such a fucking idiot it hurts. Divorce laws are made at the state level, not the federal level.

The notion that ending no-fault divorce will eliminate broken families is absurd. As for outlawing bastard children that's about as practical as making it illegal for people to troll the internet :rolleyes:

Sometimes I wonder if we should just pay welfare recipients and other low-lifes not to procreate. I hate the idea of paying people to do the right thing, but if it works then hey, I'm a pragmatist.

Nehalem, come out of the basement and go outside. I think you will find that the air is much fresher out there.
