Proposed Wisconsin bill equates single parenting to child abuse

So, logically, this proposed law shouldn't exist, and yet it does. I'm assuming that the sort of people who support this sort of law are resistant to change and are therefore ignorant of the fact that change is necessary for progress, and progress is necessary for our continued happiness (at least in most cases).

It comes from the same people who believe that the Dad should always get the kid even if he's a drunk and abusive (fun fact laws like that used to exists but the Supreme Court shot them down)
 
There are people who think the mother is the better parent no matter what because it's more natural. Remember what women did previously? Took care of the children, often out of work. That's how people came to believe that women are better parents.

However, this law is apparently against women.

Those people are wrong both parents can be just as good and just as bad (not that i'm saying you endorse those sexist views)
 
Yeah, I absolutely agree with you. There are cases where the father who does all the household and childcare duties still don't win in custody cases.
 
We have a strange court system indeed (i'm lucky my parents got divorced and have it so I spend one week at my dads the one week at my moms)
 
I think it really depends on the court. :P

Speaking of the court, I wish this bill would get struck down because it feels like a personal attack to single people everywhere, especially the mothers.
 
It wont pass it's all for political points (or the people who proposed it are Neo-Christians)
 
Are all of them nuts? I don't like to generalize.
 
The ones who are proposing this are Crazy Neo-Conservatives who proably belong to the more extreme part of the Christian Right who feel that the country as strayed from it's christian roots and that we need to get back to good old fashion christian morals
 
Fine. If they think having church and state merged would make a better society, they can move to the Middle-East, especially where the fundamentalists are. Or, they can travel back in time and be a suspected witch. Either way, we'll have more room for sane people.
