Why the continued discrimination against single unwed mothers?

Single unwed mothers to be are great. They are brave and independence. They love their kids full heartedly. They should be treated fairly.

Single mothers should be brave and independent, but that does not mean they get the same hand out with married women. Well, AWARE should be fighting for these women and their rights. I don see AWARE doing anything.

Single mothers are women who have taken the responsibility of raising a child on their own when they could have easily abandoned the child at a foster home.

Then again, it can also be easily argued that they could have closed their legs, used contraception or as a last resort gone for an abortion, instead of squirting out a child out of wedlock while knowing full well that they are not financially ready to raise a kid.

Women are the gatekeepers to sex and procreation, there are many safe and effective methods of contraception for women. They have no excuse at all.

She has made a poor choice in life, she has to live by that choice.

To this day, there continues to be discrimination against single unwed mothers in Singapore. This discrimination is unwarranted and unfair. Single mothers are women who have taken the responsibility of raising a child on their own when they could have easily abandoned the child at a foster home. They do not deserve to be punished simply because the government wants to promote the ideal of a two-parent family as the only acceptable standard.

The Minister for Social and Family Development Chan Chun Sing said in Parliament that whilst children get the same benefits whether or not their mothers are married, “benefits that are intended to support marriages and births within the context of families are only given to married mothers“.

This kind of discrimination is symptomatic of a government that is stuck in the Stone Age. It is symptomatic of a government that does not hesitate in punishing those who do not conform to the government’s idea of acceptable social practices, even though unwed mothers who raise children on their own are in fact the bravest souls on Earth.

The benefits that married mothers enjoy but single moms don’t include:

Don't be like Reverend tanwahtiu who defends Tiongs at Tiongland and Tiongs at Presstitutes that makes grammatical mistakes and can't spell correctly. Might as well be like the PAS of Malaysia or Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan when under the Taliban's rule.
