My daughter is feeling bad for people we bomb, for her lesbian friend with kids who wants to get married, for Rosie O'Donnell and now Martha Stewart.

People personalize these issues - I recently read a column in a woman's magazine basically asking for readers' take on single motherhood. They printed lots of letters from women saying, "My <sister, best friend, best friend's sister> raised her <kids, son, daughter> alone and the kids are <bright, respectful, terrific, going to Harvard>. So that makes it OK - who needs a dad? The factual and statistical reality for kids raised by a single parent (usually Mom) doesn't make a dent. Also, they never seem to ask the kids about the impact of single parenthood either.
