As a society both left and right love the system we’ve replaced marriage with (child support) far too much to make any serious changes. That the Heritage Foundation chose Genevieve Wood, a never married childless woman* to deliver their message that declining marriage rates are a serious problem is only one small indicator of this.
Still, the real effects of our rejecting marriage as a family model are piling up, and they risk limiting the resources our elites have to play with. While they aren’t yet serious, one day a significant portion of our elites will likely start to become so.
*At least this would appear to be the case based on her Heritage Foundation Bio. It is also possible that she has married and the Heritage Foundation doesn’t view that as significant.
