..well 18 and 19 are teenagers but are considered adults, of age, unless its to purchase alcohol, tobacco, or (some states) firearms. Of course in the latter case, they can enlist and be someplace shooting people with extreme prejudice but that inconsistency evades a lot of the Left.
[ZERO] There are 7.3 million single mothers in the U.S., as well as 1.9 million single fathers. Single parents often face the dual challenge of being both the primary breadwinners and caregivers for their families.
This graphic, via Visual Capitalist's Bruno Venditti, represents the percentage of mothers in the U.S. who are single, by race/ethnicity, in 2023.
So, here we have a demographic group, that only makes up roughly 14% of the US population, accounting for almost 1/2 of all US's UN-Wed births and single Moms.
QUESTION:
So, why would any Local, State or Fed Political Party design and fund a process that it knows will produce growing generation after generation number of single mothers on TAXPAYER assistance?
SIDE NOTE:
Given the multi-Generational practice of multi-sperm donor hook-ups. With a surprising number actually seeking to become pregnant and get a free taxpayer ride.
There was also a study done some years ago, regarding the possible later generation inadvertent 1st and 2nd cousin hook-ups producing offspring in the Housing Projects and nearby areas.

BIG governments need BIG constituencies. The poorer and less educated the better.

Would be interesting to see a graph of those single parent demographic distributions over time - say 100 years. I am surprised whites are still down at 14% - my perception was that for the past generation the white kids have been racing to catch up with their tanner peers.

It's % of single mothers per ethnic group - not ethnic percentage of single mothers, NN2N1 (note the numbers don't add to 100).
That is, 47% of black mothers are single - not 47% of single mothers are black.

I took single fathers as those caring for their children without benefit of female support.
Or is Mayor Pete in that category? Or would that be 'double fathers'?

I've read that multigenerational single moms adapt traits that make them insufferable mates: quick to anger, violent, mouthy, Dunning-Kruger types.

"for the past generation the white kids have been racing to catch up with their tanner peers."
Are you sure about that? I do not know any white kids, millennials or GenZ, who are single parents. Outside of gays but I dont want to digress there. And I tend to hand out with white trash and derelicts, that's the demographic most likely to be single parents, and I am not seeing it. Not like I did with my GenX peers.

I know several who started out single parents, but after a few years found someone to marry — sometimes well chosen, sometimes not. All have lots of support, both babysitting and financial, from their middle to upper-middle class parents.
It’s interesting to see the kids of the educated and successful choosing not to abort their whoopsies.

It turned out that the welfare programs of the 1960s "Great Society" made it financially very advantageous for the woman to not be married. We destroyed the black families, which had previously been making great progress economically and socially. Johnson loved it.
[YouTube] Before delivering a stunning rendition of his viral hit 'Rich Men North of Richmond' for the audience at ARC 2025, Chris Lunsford, known as Oliver Anthony, gave a poignant speech on the sense of disenfranchisement in rural America that left the whole room deeply moved.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Marine veteran Daniel Penny,
…the young retired Marine architecture student who, with the help of two gentlemen of colour who were not charged by Soros DA Alvin Bragg, restrained homeless schizophrenic Jordan Neely until the police arrived and took the still-breathing man off their hands. Mr. Neely had 40 prior arrests including violent attacks, and was loudly working himself up to attack riders in that subway car, in part because of the interesting drugs in his bloodstream that led to his death...
who was recently acquitted in a high-profile manslaughter case, has been awarded for his bravery on a New York City subway.
Penny, 26, received the coveted Semper Fidelis achievement award by the Marine Corps League at Iwo Jima Day in Boston.
The two attorneys who represented him in the case, Thomas Keniff and Steve Raiser, also received honors.
The League said Penny represented 'the Espirit De Corps defined by selfless service and sacrifice when he risked his life by defending the people of that New York City train,' Raiser told the New York Post.
Kenniff and Raiser then 'defended Danny from a prosecution that never should have been sought.'
Penny had faced up to 20 years in prison for his actions onboard the subway on May 1, 2023, when Jordan Neely - a black homeless man and Michael Jackson impersonator with more than 40 previous arrests began 'threatening' passengers.
The ex-Marine placed Neely, 30, into a chokehold for roughly six minutes, as caught on camera. Neely died shortly afterward.
Following a six-week trial at Manhattan Supreme Court, prosecutors made a bombshell decision to drop the manslaughter charge against him as the jury remained deadlocked.
Pushing ahead with lesser charges of negligent homicide, the jury returned a not-guilty verdict days later, prompting a small smile from Penny in the courtroom.
Ahead of Wednesday's ceremony, John M. MacGillivray, of the Marine Corps League wrote that the award goes to 'worthy and inspirational recipients'.
'We believe that Daniel Penny and attorneys Raiser and Kenniff deserve such recognition and hope that they will consent to accept these awards,' he said.
Raiser, in turn, said he, Kenniff and Penny 'were honored to be in the same room being honored alongside many veterans of prior wars, including an Iwo Jima veteran and a retired general who served as one of the Tuskegee Airmen.'
Kenniff also noted that outside of the State House, Brig. General Enoch 'Woody' Woodhouse, one of the Tuskegee Airmen, took Penny's hand, looked him in the eye and said, 'I'm proud of you son.'
'That is a moment I don't think any of us will forget,' he said.
While the veterans honored Penny for his heroism, others were left outraged by his acquittal.
Neely's father, Andre Zachery, for example, blasted the decision outside the courthouse.
'It really, really hurts,' he said. 'I had enough of this. The system is rigged.'
Black Lives Matter leader Walter 'Hawk' Newsome, who said he was Neely's uncle, even went as far as threatening Penny in the courtroom with 'black vigilante' action.
He shouted, 'it's a small f**king world, buddy', amid the chaos which followed the verdict being announced at Manhattan Supreme Court on December 9.
Then, speaking to media and later protesters outside the courthouse, Newsome said it was time for 'black vigilantes.'
'Everybody else has vigilantes. We need some black vigilantes,' he said.
'People want to jump up and choke us and kill us for being loud, how about we do the same when they attempt to oppress us.'

[Regnum] The United States of America conducted a test launch of the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile. This was reported on February 19 by the US Space Force base.
It is specified that the launch was carried out from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
“An unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile was launched as part of an operational test at 01:00 Pacific Time on February 19 (12:00 Moscow time - Ed.),” the statement said.
Earlier, on December 22, the US Department of Defense confirmed the successful testing of two new long-range missiles, the LRHW (Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon) and the PrSM (Precision Strike Missile). They are designed to counter Russia in Europe and China in the Asia-Pacific region.
In late July, a US military official announced a test launch of a hypersonic weapon, which he said would be an important step in developing operational hypersonic technology.
The War Zone portal wrote on July 30 that the results of the test of the hypersonic weapon being developed by the US in Florida are unknown. Experts in a conversation with the publication specified that the US Army could have tested the Dark Eagle weapon system, which is also known as the Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW).
