Two mothers do just as well children are typically raised by two parents. Singlesex families are a controversial issue in europe.

And the fox news report, u. S. Officials knew within 24 hours it was

Doug has more from the white house. Doug . Reporter thats right, jon. Washington is gearing up for return for business after labor day. There is tremendous pressure building on the president to come up with a Long Term Strategy to address the isis threat not only in iraq but syria as well. Unless the president comes up with a strategy, and articulating his goal, i think we will continue to flail and well continue to see isis maintain and expand their influence there and throughout the region. And the president hasnt defined the strategy. And he expressed that yesterday in charlotte. And american combat troops will not return to fight in iraq and will not allow the United States to be dragged back to another ground war in iraq. And while he expresses that retissents.
