Contrary to what Hollywood would have you believe, we've got an increase in the number of children living in 2-parent households. The number has increased to 71.1%, and get this, it follows an upward trend that's been going strong since 2005.
The research "includes children living with a birth parent and stepparent and couples who are cohabiting without being married," so keep that in mind.
Newly published data from the U.S. Census Bureau indicates that the proportion of American children living in two-parent families increased to 71.1% in 2023, continuing a slight upward trajectory since 2015. The numbers appear to contradict a popular narrative in the mainstream media that American society no longer aspires to establish households with a mother and father to parent children …
Zill goes on to observe that the proportion of children who live with two parents has been inching upward for some time. After increasing from 67.3% to 69.4% percent between 2005 and 2010, the number has steadily creeped upward from 69.2% in 2015 to 71.1% by the end of last year.
And get this: These numbers could even be making an impact on abortion. Think about it, the more married couples, which many of these cohabiting couples with children will become, the fewer abortions. The stats speak for themselves.
"The CDC data on the number of children killed through an abortion shows things have gotten worse over the past few years with one exception," Mary Szoch, director of the Center for Human Dignity at Family Research Council, told The Washington Stand. "Women who are married have had fewer abortions each year since 2018. The 2021 data shows that only 12.7% of women who underwent abortions were married. We know that the very best environment for a child to be raised in is one where there is a loving mother and father. Clearly, the positive impact of growing up in a two-parent household begins long before birth, and in many instances, it is the difference between life and death for a child."
Some great news here, despite the negativity the mainstream would have you believe.
