Dan Quayle in Planned Bullyhood, by Karen Handel

On Families & Children: Society trivializes parenthood and especially fatherhood

Marilyn Quayle is staunchly pro-life, and her views on family made a particular impression on me. This was the time of "Murphy Brown," when Vice President Quayle was vilified for suggesting that the CBS sitcom's title character, played by Candice Bergen, was symptomatic of a broader societal acceptance of unwed motherhood and a diminished role for fathers. I never thought that his comments or their beliefs had anything to do with single mothers. Rather, the Quayles saw a trivialization of parenthood and, specifically, of fatherhood. It made me think about what I wanted for my own future, my deep desire for a family and to be a mother someday. Source: Planned Bullyhood, by Karen Handel, p. 19-20 Sep 11, 2012
