Mr Babcock:

You would be better served if you, too, minded your manners.

The stat I pointed out previously is from the US Dept of Health & Human Services for the year 2011. I rounded up and used a fraction of 3/4. Its stat for 2013, latest available year, is 71.5%, 3/4 if one wants to use quarter fraction. Honest.

“Illegitimate” is found in the Oxford Dictionaries and provides a sentence as an example that denotes precisely the manner I use it. Perhaps, in your view,“bastard” is a better term? Or, better are: “born out of wedlock”, “born to an unwed mother”, “spawned by a dude who didn’t want or thought it unnecessary to hang around”, or “blow-by”, a synonym of “bastard”, both found in the Urban Dictionary.

You might consult a dictionary for the word “track” and clarify your point. I do not dispute correlation between the two sets of variables, if that is what you failed to communicate.

My point remains unchallenged: choosing to copulate is an individual decision. I suggest, that if a child is a possible result, those decisions should, IMO, be made by two individuals prepared to care, properly, for themselves and the child.

Disproportionate maternal and neo-natal outcomes are not caused by racist doctors.

Please don’t libel me again. If you do respond, please, research the studies on effect of single-mother parenting on child social, educational, and economic performance. Also, please consult a dictionary.
