I just think she is a dumb, loud mouth bitch that has obvious low self esteem and basically just wants to hear herself talk, because no one with any intelligence is actually impressed with her.

Having dated many single moms, I agree with Ann. I think it’s a shame so many people get easily offended rather than looking at the source of the problem: poor choices in breeding partners. If these single moms would take the necessary precautions, maybe Ann wouldn’t have to write a chapter that “offends” you all so much. And if it were only one child that each single mom had, the ladies might have a point. But most are repeat offenders many times over. And what everyone here is afraid to break the statistics out on is how many of our US single moms are black and repeat offenders. That certainly would get everyone’s panties in a wad. I also think many women have children due to the ticking of their biological clocks but never intend to actually be wives.

I recently reviewed much of the same literature about broken families and single mothers. Single mothers cost the American taxpayer $112 Billion dollars every year.
The Georgia Family Council and Institute for American Values published “The Taxpayer Costs of Divorce and Unwed Childbearing” in 2008. Their conclusion on page 5 is, “Based on the methodology, we estimate that family fragmentation costs U.S. taxpayers at least $112 billion each and every year, or more than $1 trillion each decade.”

That doesn’t include the private lawyer costs during divorce. Child and spousal support are just private welfare payments. When single mothers stop whining about entitlements and start earning their own way in life, they might understand how correct Ann is on this one point.

I’m going to take what Mydria said and run with it — and I hope that doesn’t make me a pariah.

But Ann Coulter isn’t all wrong.

My thinking on Coulter and single motherhood — or rather, single motherhood by choice — is way too long to get into here, so I’ve posted it on my blog here: http://blogs.marinij.com/katwilder/2009/01/single_moms.html.

I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts.

Ann Coulter’s claim that single mothers are responsible for all the ills in society is based, I believe, on numbers crunched by the book Freakonomics, where he claims that the legalization of abortion was responsible for the crime drop of the 1990’s.

That being said, for every single mother there is a single father. The moms just happen to be the ones raising the child, many times, because the father won’t.

Also, while it is true that children raised by single moms are statistically more likely to engage in criminal activity (and be associated with other problems), this is a correlation not a causation. The cause is most likely the socioeconomic status of the single mom raising the child. This is also true of race and crime…while certain minorities are statistically more likely to engage in criminal activities, it is more likely that the CAUSE is that those same people are of a low socioeconomic status and aren’t aware of/haven’t been able to take advantage of certain other opportunities.

Third, as I said at Dadshouse blog, if Ann Coulter got struck by lightning I would LAUGH. She is
1) a 50-something
2) attorney and professional writer
3) who has never been married
4) and doesn’t want kids
5) who MAKES A LIVING
6) saying things like all women should be housewives and moms rather than having a career,
7) and who also MAKES A LIVING
making political observations
9) while simultaneously claiming that the 19th amendment should be repealed.

Please. The cognitive dissonance between her life and her politics/social views is so huge it could, like the Grand Canyon, be seen from space.

I must second dadshouse: ignore Coulter… she is like an attention-seeking toddler.

The only think I could think of while reading this was ” is she CRAZY? really… and the people who support her. I am not a single mom but I was raised by one, and I can assure you I am not a criminal nor are my 3 siblings (we all went to college and such and are not hanging out in alleys waiting to mug people).. Women do not become single parents because it’s fun.. I guess women should stay with abusive husbands for the children is what she is saying.. or maybe my mother should have brought my father back from the grave with a little voodoo session or such (he died when I was 7)… Seriously, she is probably looking for some fame of some sort that is what I think.

Seriously? The worlds problems can be traced back to single mothers? SERIOUSLY? I have no idea who Anne Coulter is and clearly I dont want to know who she is!! I am all for rising above but in general being a single mother is not a choice someone makes because it seems glamorous? laurakim´s last blog post...Interview with ME
