In “Two-parent families are not only a moral imperative, they are an economic one, too” (Web, June 24) former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker writes that the out-of-wedlock birth rate is increasing in the U.S., and he cites an enormous increase in this rate since 1965, especially among Black Americans. The children, according to Walker, end up having many problems.

Mr. Walker offers a three-part solution to restore families. Everyoe should: 1) Finish school, 2) Get a full-time job and 3) Wait until age 21 to get married and have children.

Two-parent families are gradually disappearing, especially among Black Americans. The racist Planned Parenthood puts its businesses in minority neighborhoods. It targets Black teens, telling them that sex any time is fine as long as they use contraceptives. But contraceptives have a high rate of failure among teens, and soon a pregnancy occurs, resulting in either an abortion or single motherhood. Once in that mode, teens continue with more of the same.

Planned Parenthood profits from both the contraceptives and single and repeat abortions from the same clients. It is the prime cause of the decline of two-parent families, and is undermining our society. Planned Parenthood needs to be stopped.
