Choices Matter.

Instapundit finds a good one. 

Very sensible stuff.

Strangely related:

Single Mothers-Always Falling Apart? 

A response to the New York Times article on the "two classes" of kids in America. Those in one parent, and those in two parent homes. Very interesting.

The NYT notices:

"Married couples are having children later than they used to, divorcing less and investing heavily in parenting time. By contrast, a growing share of single mothers have never married, and many have children with more than one man." 

The single mother in this story at least admits some responsibility:

"She got pregnant during her first year of college, left school and stayed in a troubled relationship that left her with three children when it finally collapsed six years ago. She has had little contact with the children’s father and receives no child support. With an annual income of just under $25,000, Ms. Schairer barely lifts her children out of poverty, but she is not one to complain. “I’m in this position because of decisions I made,” she said." 

My question is how hard is it to NOT to get pregnant?

Seriously.
