nytimes.com - THE war over the family has been a disheartening part of American politics for decades. Conservatives saw growing numbers of children born outside of marriage and thought the family as they knew it was in trouble, the result of a cultural decline — a decrease in personal responsibility, and a growing dependence on government social welfare programs. Liberals saw families struggling and thought the problems reflected poverty and the dearth of good jobs.
