I think the growing acceptance and prevalence of single parent families is harming America. CMV

I want to clarify from the beginning that I'm not saying these people are harming America. I'm arguing that the growing attitude of that single parenthood is an acceptable choice is flawed, short sighted and harmful to kids and communities. Along those lines, I'm talking about people who have kids before getting their partner to at least commit to their relationship long term. People whose spouses die or who were together but who couldn't stay together, are not who I'm talking about. 

I'd like my view changed because I think the evolving family unit in the US will dictate a ton of future government programs and market behaviors. I don't want to beat on people but I don't think permissive acceptance is appropriate either. Please change my view that our growing attitude towards people choosing to be single parents is harmful to our local and national communities.

I think you need to consider why we have single parents.

Do they exist because people think it would be fun and cool to be a single parent?  99% of the time the answer is no.  Yes, some women may choose artificial insemination, but this is far from the norm.

Typically, we have single parents because after having a child, the relationship ended.  So the real question is why are the relationships ending and is society better off with those two people being together?  

I would say that typically the answer is "no."  Having two people who dislike each other stay together from societal pressure can be bad for the child (i.e. poisonous environment).  It can also lead to domestic violence, cheating and a variety of other bad outcomes.  

So what will shaming single parents accomplish?  Very little other than making parents already under an immense amount of pressure feel worse about themselves.
