Here's some of the research on the need for fathers: David Blankenhorn, Fatherless America: Confronting Our Most Urgent Social Problem; Sara McLanahan and Gary Sandefur, Growing Up with a Single Parent: What Hurts, What Helps; David Popenoe, Life Without Father: Compelling New Evidence that Fatherhood and Marriage are Indispensable for the Good of Children and Society; James Q. Wilson, The Marriage Problem: How Our Culture Has Weakened Families; and Barbara Dafoe Whitehead, "Dan Quayle Was Right," The Atlantic, April, 1993, at http://mensnewsdaily.com/archive/w/w-misc/whitehead050102.htm.
