Ann Coulter on Single Moms. Again

Ann Coulter is easy to disagree with, being one of those Social Conservatives that blames "liberals" for all the world's problems, but she is bl**dy funny and I did quite enjoy her last book "Guilty". In this article she revisits some of the subject matter therein. Enjoy:

"A 1990 study by the (liberal) Progressive Policy Institute showed that, after controlling for single motherhood, the difference in black and white crime rates disappeared."

"And yet, between 1979 and 2003, we went from about 600,000 babies being born out of wedlock, with about a quarter of them put up for adoption, to 1.5 million illegitimate births with fewer than 1 percent of them (14,000) given up for adoption. That's why Angelina Jolie and Madonna are constantly having to break up tribal wars to adopt Third World children."

I'm definitely on board with the idea that we need more kids put up for a adoption, particularly given the astonishingly high number of couples within my own social circle who are professional, responsible people who have trouble conceiving.

One (caucasian) friend of mine and her husband recently adopted a black child from some third world place - Detroit, I think - because white ones were in such short supply and were actually more expensive to adopt. The way it works is, you find some pregnant teenager, pay her medical expenses and have her checked regularly in case she smokes crack while pregnant, and then when baby is born, it's yours. Unfortunately this particular mother decided that this was too demanding and took some drugs, but the adoption went through anyway, followed by the kind offer to, if the adoptive parents so wished, "make another one" on demand.

They declined.
