Culture Clash: Surprising Truths about How Families are Formed in the United States

A recent forum hosted by the Woodrow Wilson School revealed that red and blue states vary significantly in terms of how families are formed. Perhaps surprisingly, despite their plea for "family values," red states have both higher numbers of unwed parents and higher divorce rates. The event, held October 28th at the Princeton Club of New York, examined the incredible increase in the past 40 years in the number of children born to unmarried parents and the increase in divorce -- particularly for less educated couples. The forum was part of the Thoman lecture series, sponsored by the Leon Lowenstein Foundation.
Speakers included Irwin Garfinkel, editor of The Future of Children: Fragile Families volume, Mitchell I. Ginsberg Professor of Contemporary Urban Problems, and co-director of the Columbia Population Research Center at Columbia University; and Red Families v. Blue Families co-authors Naomi Cahn '79, John Theodore Fey Research Professor of Law, George Washington University Law School, and June Carbone '75 Edward A. Smith-Missouri Professor of Law, the Constitution and Society University of Missouri-Kansas City.

@lrn2wlk4life It´s a lecture and not some tea party rally. You should try it, but I guess you do in church. And..
Quote:"Women whose choices ultimately decide our path.". No they do not, it is a mix.

@lrn2wlk4life I forgot to ask, you are one of those people who think gravity has a liberal bias, right.
