On page 2The booklet states "The great majority of single-parent households are<BR/>fatherless." Footnote 1 says that the figure is 87%. Are you saying that this is not true? The comment about children growing up fatherless does not seem to be connected to footnote 1 and in fact does not apear until page 6. It sounds like you are just as bigoted in expressing your opinionyour opinion.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635270462835431062noreply@blogger.com
