Richard, if you are going to make an argument that there is a statistically significant number of single mothers who are not single by choice then you need to prove it, not me. I'm not here to do your homework for you.  I also suspect that if I did produce evidence either way you would disbelieve it.  I will however, back up my own points with statistics and examples.  Until YOU prove me wrong I see no reason to not hold my opinion.  Prove me wrong and I'll change it.

In any case, I think your whole line of reasoning is off track. It is not the actual % of women who are single by choice (or not) that is the most relevant statistic but rather comparing the sociological outcomes of single parent families raised by men vs. those of single parent families raised by women.  Those studies have actually been done and the answer is enlightening. I suggest you google it and inform yourself.
