Nothing in what I have written says we should "encourage" single 
parenthood.  What I have said is that we can provide more help to single 
parents.  Are you denying that single parent families already exist?  Or 
are you denying that those single parent families need help?  Or is it 
that you don't believe that those single parent families deserve help?

Again, I have said nothing that would make someone think I am 
encouraging wedlock.  There are other ways (besides wedlock) that single 
parent families can be created.  There is the death of one of the 
partners, there is divorce and there is adoption by single people.

"The consecration of Gene Robinson as bishop of the New Hampshire 
Diocese of the Episcopal Church is an affront to Christians everywhere. 
I am just thankful that the church's founder, Henry VIII, and his wife 
Catherine of Aragon, and his wife Anne Boleyn, and his wife Jane 
Seymour, and his wife Anne of Cleves, and his wife Katherine Howard, and 
his wife Catherine Parr are no longer here to suffer through this 
assault on traditional Christian marriage." 	-Paul Emmons West Chester
