A Call to Reclaim America, by Jody Hice: on Families & Children


Christian society discourages out-of-wedlock pregnancies

Suppose there are two towns, one embraces a 'secular' worldview and the other, a Christian one. How would they differ? Let's consider the secular town first.

'Town A' is secular. Very few people attend church. Divorce rates are very high along with promiscuity and a general confusion as to the definition of 'marriage' or its importance. Many children grow up in single-parent homes; many drop out of school. Drug abuse is high, as is alcoholism. Sexually Transmitted Diseases are rampant, unwanted pregnancies are common. Gangs are prevalent.

Now, let's consider 'Town B,' which embraces a Christian worldview. What is this town like? Generally, in this town families stay together and children grow up with a healthy self-esteem. Most of the kids graduate from high school and become good, productive citizens. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and teenage pregnancies are rare. Drug abuse is extremely low and gangs are virtually nonexistent.

Liberal family policies lead to crime, gangs, and drugs

Libertarians often pride themselves in being fiscally conservative and socially, liberal. Truthfully, the one is made impossible if the latter is left unattended. There are many examples that could be used, but let's consider no-fault divorce and weak family policies. This 'liberal' approach has been part of a cultural problem, encouraging out-of-wedlock relations that lead to fatherless families. It now costs Americans about one trillion dollars per decade because of the single-mother plight. These liberal policies have created the need for more prisons, more law enforcement to counter gangs and violence, programs for teen pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, drug abuse, etc.
