Joe Biden Rejects the Bastard Child

Conservatives have been mostly neutralized in the USA, so it is nice to see Ann Coulter express some conservative opinions:

Hunter’s ‘Love Child’ and Conservative Madness

Right-wingers (and The New York Times’ Maureen Dowd) are browbeating President Biden for not embracing his son Hunter’s illegitimate child — the result of drug-crazed, unprotected sex with a stripper. ...

We’re the ones who believe that marriage means something. (Thus, our opposition to gay marriage.) Ideally, a man wouldn’t have any “parental rights” to a kid he fathered unless he’s married to the mother, and she wouldn’t get access to the sperm-donor’s bank account unless she’s married to him.

... But the idea that a crack-fueled roll in the hay entitles the mother to be treated like an honored member of the family is absurd. ...

Just because Hunter is a total degenerate doesn’t mean society should allow unfit mothers to use their capture of his sperm as a winning lottery ticket, entitling her entree into someone else’s family. ...

It was (of course) the Warren court that cast aside the collective wisdom of 48 states and hundreds of years of common law to nuke the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate kids. ...

Since the court found it “unconstitutional” to distinguish between the children of married parents and unmarried parents, the illegitimacy rate in the U.S. soared from 24% for blacks and 3.1% for whites to 69.4% for blacks, 28.2% for whites and 39.6% overall. With that came an explosion in child poverty, criminality, educational deficits, teen pregnancies, behavioral problems and on and on and on.

Yes, the purpose of marriage used to be to legitimize children, and to provide for them by allocating parental rights and responsibilities in an orderly and voluntary manner. Everyone accepted that. Now Coulter appears to be in a small minority.
