Grothman blames child abuse on mothers
By Christine Sowinski and Kate Krebs | Mar. 12, 2012Wisconsin state Senator Glenn Grothman,R-West Bend, has declared that unplanned and nonmarital pregnancies are chosen by women, who must be taught that such untimely childbearing is a mistake. This view is similar to the recently introduced Senate Bill 507, which labels single mothers as a cause of child abuse. The bill asks the government to brainwash the nation into believing the only correct parenting method consists of a married couple, excluding same-sex partners. Grothman continues to support the obvious attack on nonmarital childrearing, even though he is fully aware that 31 percent of Wisconsin children live in single-parent homes. He even admitted that his message is “politically incorrect” at a public hearing about the bill.
