My comments: This is certainly part of the symptom of a Nation that has moved away from God and His Word. The Devastating Manifestation of these children born out of Wedlock, will reverberate through America for Decades to come. As America continues on its Wide Road to complete RUIN. America's only Hope is REPENTANCE and to return to God and His Word.
