There is no banning.   But we should educate that having a mom and a dad is ideal for children.  Exceptions to violence ofc.

lol, a blight on society? I can tell you that growing up with a single mother was far better for me than growing up with my mother and my alcoholic father.

I experienced both single parenting and having a mom and dad. Would I have been happier to have my dad clean and in my life? Sure, but it turned out far better adjusted than many others I know with both parents in their house. My single mom raised a professor getting his PhD and two teachers working on their masters. Not bad for a woman who had her first at 19 and last at 23, who worked a $20k a year cashier job at a grocery store, and never went to college.

But, I guess her parenting was a blight on society, right?
