There's a big difference between being an unwed mother at 26 and 19. She'll miss that. She won't be alone.
Statistics suggest that America is getting used to unwed motherhood.
But a stunning two-thirds of African American infants, and 42 percent of Hispanic children, were born out of wedlock that year. Millions more babies growing up without a meaningful relationship with Daddy. Millions more men unconnected to their most amazing creations. Millions of resulting problems for everybody. Blame the mess on the disappearance of societal taboos.
