ACLU's War On The Blessings Of Liberty, Which Are For Ourselves And Our Children

An Associate Press article was updated today, October 28, 2005, and concludes that more babies are born out of wedlock last year in the United States than in past years despite teens only accounting for only 24% of them. The biggest increase has been in women in their 20's especially in the age group 25 to 29 which is a good time to have a child. Many of these women are often living with their partners but are still counted as unmarried as they are not formally married. 80 percent of teens giving birth are unwed. 35.7 of the total births in the United States were to unwed mothers.

Studies have shown that unmarried women are more subject to domestic abuse especially cohabitating relationships. Their children are also more likely to be abused or killed through abortion. It is also known that children that grow up in single parent households are significantly more likely to end up in jail.

Planned Parenthood proposes killing the children before birth as a solution for these "unwanted children". Such a solution violates the ideals of natural law, as put forth by John Locke, upon which the United States was founded. It also contributes to a low fertility rate that fails to balance the death rate without immigrantion and a long average lifespan and is thus a threat to the United States.

The best solution is for the government to discourage cohabitation and sex outside of marriage in general by outlawing it and ensuring those laws are enforced. The ACLU is against this ideal suing to have a North Carolina law declared unconstitutional. That is not a surprise since the American Civil Liberties Union often works to destroy the general welfare of the United States and its People. We the people need to pressure our government to obey the Declaration of Independence and strive to secure our right to pursue happiness by creating an stable environment where we and our children are less likely to abuse or be abused.
