UPDATE, 11:15 p.m. ET: There’s a little less than an hour to go until the sites protesting SOPA and PIPA come back to us here’s what’s happened since our last update.
A whole bunch of senators and representatives changed their positions and came out opposing the current iteration of the SOPA and PIPA legislation. The Daily Beast reports:
Senators Roy Blunt (R-MO), Mark Rubio (R-FL), and Jerry Moran (R-KS), also cosponsors of PIPA, posted their withdrawals to either Facebook or Twitter today as well. Additionally Senators Jeff Markey (D-OR) and Allen West (R-FL) condemned the bill on Twitter. Not to be outdone, Representatives Keith Ellison (D-MN) and Mike Honda (D-CA) blacked out their websites in support.

Clinton was rumoured to be holding out for some kind of technicality or undiscovered rule that would have allowed the Senate to elect her as President during her State vote. She had apparently imprisoned Senator Jim DeMint in a cupboard at knifepoint until he agreed to table a motion that would have put her in the Oval Office.Clinton was rumoured to be holding out for some kind of technicality or undiscovered... more

Single parenting is a strain in every direction. On a good day, you can fret about being ?untraditional? and worry whether your children?s lives might be better; on a bad day, you come face to face with the brutal economics of being both the provider and the nurturer, and you worry whether your children will eat tonight, or who will watch them when work requires you to stay late unexpectedly.
It is a fundamental principle that parents who bring a child into this world are both responsible for providing that child's physical needs, regardless of any conflicts in their relationship. South Carolina dosen't seem to understand it takes a women and a man to have a child . One of the results of this lack of holding the fathers responsabale as much as the mother for the children they have .
South Carolina has one of the highest teen birth rates in the nation. Each of these pregnancies --- among girls as young as 10 and 11 years-old --- create substantial social, health-related and economic consequences for the individuals involved, as well as for every taxpayer in South Carolina. . Between 1995 and 2000, the state incurred nearly $51 million in direct costs due to teen pregnancies in the form of economic and housing assistance, foster care and juvenile justice issues
In 2004 According to the South Carolina Commission for Minority Affairs' 2004 Statistical Profile, 31 percent of all children in South Carolina under the age of 18 live in single-parent families .Of all females in the state who give birth, 40.1 percent are single;
In 2006 South Carolina Kids Count Project Director Baron Holmes : Stated "In order for young children to reach their potential, their health, family, economics, and safety would have to improve by at least 20% on the Kids Count indicators." The required reduction to reach the national average would be: Single-Parent Families by 22%;
In all of my reserch I have only found only one thing that turns the the tide of single parent births by this high of number . The paper is titled "The Impact of Child Support Enforcement Policy on Nonmarital Childbearing." The research was supported by the Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology at the University of Washington and a grant from the Institute for Research on Poverty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Researchers studying the factors behind out-of-wedlock births have found a significant variable that often is overlooked: child support. States that are strict in enforcing child support have up to 20 percent fewer unmarried bi rths than states that are lax about getting unmarried dads to pay, the researchers found.

COLUMBIA, S.C.
