ARRESTED PATHOLOGY:
Most Children Still Live in Two-Parent Homes, Census Bureau Reports (SAM ROBERTS, 2/20/08, NY Times)
In 1970, 85 percent of children were living with two parents and 11 percent with their mother only, proportions that shifted to a little more than 70 percent and slightly more than 20 percent, respectively, in 1990.The comparable figures in 2004 were about 70 percent and 23 percent. The figures suggest that the tumultuous shifts in family structure since the late 1960s have leveled off since 1990.
“We’re not seeing the rapid change that was going on between 1970 and 1990,” said Rose M. Kreider, a Census Bureau demographer and author of the study of children’s living arrangements. “Evidently, we’re at a place where things are not moving very fast.”

And I saw a statistic awhile back that stated 1/3 of kids 13-18 felt abortion wrong in all cases. 2/3 said it was immoral and would not have one, themselves.
It is amazing how Christians have taken back the reigns since Reagan ran on a platform opposing abortion, two years after Falwell gave his famous sermon.
