A major congressional report on the state of the two-parent family has just been released and the numbers show a continued and troubling decline in the most important family well-being indicators. It comes from the Social Capital Project of the Senate Joint Economic Committee. The overall picture is not a bright one, but nor is it all bad news. The good news is that the U.S. divorce rate largely leveled off in the mid-1980s and has declined measurably in the last few years. As well, the number of children living with two parents is higher than most Americans would assume and this number has remained largely level for the past few years.

Overall, nearly half of all youth in America today will spend some part of their childhood living apart from at least one of their biological parents, whereas only one-third of children did so in the 1960s and less than a quarter did in the 1950s.

Outsports, an online, LGBT sports blog, published the names of 309 female athletes who signed a letter to the National College Athletic Association’s (NCAA) Board of Governors, asking them to protect women’s sports from transgender athletes – biological men who believe they are women.

The practice is known as “doxxing,” publishing names and private information for the purpose of shaming or harassing individuals.

The letter also asks the NCAA “to reject a recent call to boycott Idaho for passing its Fairness in Women’s Sports Act.” LGBT activists and their allies, in organizations such as the Southern Poverty Law Center and the American Civil Liberties Union, asked the NCAA to cancel any events scheduled in Idaho because the Fairness Act limits participation in girls’ and women’s sports to biological females.

In Washington D.C., members of Students for Life were arrested for trying to write “Black Preborn Lives Matter” in chalk on the sidewalk outside a Planned Parenthood, despite the fact that “Black Lives Matter” and “Defund the Police” were painted on the streets in the city without reprisal.

Do Americans have the right to paint slogans on the street? It appears so after several cities have allowed activists to paint “Black Lives Matter” in prominent locations, including on 16th Street NW blocks from the White House and right outside the Trump Tower in New York City.

However, the pro-life movement has not been extended the same courtesy.

Students for Life planned a demonstration outside a local Planned Parenthood location with the intent of painting the message “Black Preborn Lives Matter” on the street. They didn’t get the opportunity.
