Im sorry to say but this sounds like Orwellian doublethink.

Are you saying that a woman probably cannot reasonably provide a good life for a child without a man? I mean, even if she can't then this is an extremely tenuous link. I didn't have a good childhood at all and the scenario I was in personally was actually worse than you described but I turned out to be very happy. Even if I wasn't happy it would be worth living. There are also many people in truly horrific situations in the world - in every country.
In good faith and with much respect I am asking you: do you think that the chronically unhappy people of this world should have been aborted before they experienced this world and without their consent or knowledge? Obviously hard to put a number on it but with the kind of scenario you describe, maybe 20-25% of living adult people have been through?
