Why does the USA have the highest UNWED mothers and CHILD Support cases in the WORLD?

Doesn't the Government really promote the UNWED lifestyle for women with brochures about BIG Tax Refunds and Child Support?

Update:

Forgot about food stamps and Wic which are also VERY Popular programs that you can only get if you are a low income , unwed mother!

    While I would argue America does NOT have the highest number of unwed mothers and child support cases..... especially per capita.....I would agree we have far too many and make it almost advantageous to have children out of marriage

    BTW Where in this question were Republican or Democrat mentioned?......where does it mention conservative or liberal? This is about morals and what is good for CHILDREN..... we actively promote single motherhood..... almost make it advantageous to have babies in a single parent home....!!! Where , jus a few years ago, having a baby out of marriage was an embarrassment..... a matter of shame.....today we celebrate it.....have special awards for high school students who are unwed mothers..... we made it so attractive a group of unwed teenage girls all went out and deliberately got pregnant for the "fun of it"

    .

    moral decay supported and even encouraged by government "compassion"

    divorce rates are running about 50% and we don't care about children after they are born. This is plainly seen by the huge amount of food stamps and welfare used by children in foster care and on adoption.

    Because of liberals. They have no values and spew their garbage in schools and on TV.

    There are a lot of fertile, white conservative females.

    because democrats pay unmarried girls to have out-of-wedlock babies, in exchange for votes
