Studies that come up with statisticis about the children of single mothers lump them all together, so that the outcomes for children of the majority of single mothers — poor, uneducated, on welfare, even before they had any children — are implied to show a statistical “chance” of the same outcomes for children of any sort of single mother. The studies of children who were raised in mother-only households due the husband-father’s death before or shortly after the child’s birth, show outcomes bearing no resemblance to those in the generalized “single mothers” studies.

Haven’t got time to Google it up. I’m sure you can dig it up if you’re interested. But just think about it. Do you really expect the now infant children of young widows whose husbands got killed in Iraq, will grow up to have outcomes comparable to those of the average single mother, who is a ghetto-dwelling, high school dropout, 2nd/3rd/4th generation welfare addict with substance abuse problems and a string of long rap-sheeted live-in boyfriends leaving her with a string of babies? Though I know the studies have been done, I don’t really need to see them to know that these two groups of children won’t have remotely comparable outcomes.
