Not a day goes by in this topsy-turvy, mad max eschatology that Republicans have created where a Republican politician isnt uttering some certifiably insane, hateful malarkey that would make Charles Manson blush. Whether youre gay, black, female, or a spore with feelings, Republicans do not like you if unless you aspire to be a white christian millionaire.
Sen. Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend), a Republican in Wisconsins state senate, thinks that children from single parents are probably victims of child abuse. In his world, a deadbeat dad (Joe Walsh, anyone?) is an American hero whereas the single mom is a disordered, unstable Harlot and should probably be raped by a state doctor. But seriously, Grothman recently authored a controversial bill that directly targets single parents, which the State Senator plans on presenting to the Senate Committee on Public Health, Human Services and Revenue.
A portion of the bill reads as follows:
In promoting those campaigns and materials, the [Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board] shall emphasize nonmarital parenthood as a contributing factor to child abuse and neglect.
No word yet on whether single parents are covert Muslim socialist/Maoists.
Despite the fact that Single Parents comprise 32 percent of Wisconsin, they are inherently evil and if the state cannot imprison them at Guantanamo Bay indefinitely, they will at least make sure that theyre regarded with severe suspicion.
The remainder of the bill reads as follows:
Section 1. 48.982 (2) (g) 2. of the statutes is amended to read:
48.982 (2) (g) 2. Promote statewide educational and public awareness campaigns and materials for the purpose of developing public awareness of the problems of child abuse and neglect. In promoting those campaigns and materials, the board shall emphasize nonmarital parenthood as a contributing factor to child abuse and neglect.
Section 2. 48.982 (2) (g) 4. of the statutes is amended to read:
48.982 (2) (g) 4. Disseminate information about the problems of and methods of preventing child abuse and neglect to the public and to organizations concerned with those problems. In disseminating that information, the board shall emphasize nonmarital parenthood as a contributing factor to child abuse and neglect.
Once again proving that youre better off with todays Republicans if you tattoo former fetus across your forehead.http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/02/29/wisconsin-republican-senator-proposes-bill-that-labels-single-parenthood-as-child-abuse/

(26,624 posts)slobs... This year women who raise their children either by choice, or not are abusive parents...
I just have to add this additional thought about all the mothers who are raising their children alone because their children's father has either been killed in one of the countries we are still occupying...

This kind of statement is in keeping with the ALEC/Repuke template--> sociopathic which lacks empathy.
It is a hallmark of their agenda and legislation; their legacy.
