But just because a mother is not married does not mean the father isn't around, Ventura noted. She noted 2002 statistics that showed that about 20 percent of all new mothers under 20 were unmarried but living with the father at the time of the birth. That same was true of about 13 percent of all new mothers ages 20 to 24.

So only 80-87% had no father around, and we're supposed to be reassured.

They never really layer the stats. The real story is -

up to a third are aborted rather than brought to term.
three eights of those have no father.
half of those who do will see him leave before they are 18.

Leaving the portion conceived that reach adulthood with an intact family at about 20%. No nation can long survive such behavior.
