If you are single and you get pregnant, seriously consider adoption to a loving couple.So should pregnant miliatry wives whose husbands are killed in Iraq "seriously consider adoption to a loving couple", even when they very much want the baby themselves?

I don't think of the recently widowed as the same as other single women. Let's assume the guy is still around and there's no serious relationship there.

Good point, but i think most people consistently read single as 'single, never married,' as opposed to 'divorced' which is 'once married, now unmarried via legal avenue,' and as opposed to 'widowed.'
Many standardized forms, for example, have slots for all those distinctions. To most, 'single' means 'single/never married.'
I think 'single' is becoming more all inclusive, but I don't think the original poster meant to suggest that 'sing;e' would include 'widowed,' or else they would have said 'single or widowed.'

That's a different ballgame altogether.
