Fatherlessness is reaching paramount proportions and the American people have related concerns with the first 100 days of Trump in Office. The changes in legislation could see several factors that influence the fatherless society, with those who are at arm’s length already regarding the custody battle in divorced families. The family law in every state does not automatically default to equal parenting custody in the challenge to providing an equal chance to success for young Americans.
Repealing the Affordable Care Act is a concern as it reduces the cost of birth control, which would complicate the cost of curbing unwanted pregnancy. Furthermore, the unwanted pregnancies lead to increased abortion rate. The office has threatened to repeal the 1973 Supreme Court decision allowing legal abortion in the US. This presents a massive problem, the birth control levy is making it more expensive to prevent unwanted pregnancies, and now there is no prevention of the unwanted child to be conceived with a possible broken home and a fatherless environment.
Equality in the workplace also seems a worrying factor for women, as the press has demonstrated several chauvinistic and derogatory references to women, as well as domestic violence against women especially in college. With all these factors removing fathers from the child’s life, who will march for the children who are effectively a fatherless generation.
The child-father interaction is necessary for the development of social skills and coping mechanisms for stress. Is the possible laws and the roles fathers play in the divorced environment overlooked, and that the negative consequence of unequal custody partly responsible for the rate of increased juvenile delinquents, single parents, and the domestic violence as alternatives for most of an adolescent’s emptiness without fatherly interaction.
The children are the future, and if the equal parenting order and the president don’t consider the ramifications of the executive orders, then how will the increase in juvenile delinquents going to serve the country in being great again? We need fathers in every child’s life, and this is not just single mother’s bearing the load. The societal pressure and politics cannot discriminate against how the father’s interaction can be productive and not destructive in the fatherless generation.
