Forty-three percent of Americans say they would be less likely to date someone who had children from a previous relationship.
Another no shit statistic. I'd like to see how that one breaks down by gender. Only a cuck raises another man's children, and men have a primal disgust that dissuades them from doing so.
You don't even need to go that far: only 1.7% of single mothers in the United States are widows, and any other cause of single motherhood raises red flags about your own relationship with the woman. If a woman gets one no-fault divorce she's more likely to be willing to get another, after all.
You're correct, and widows don't present as many problems as women who threw the father of their children in the garbage for the reasons you bring up. It's still not worth it IMO. You're still competing with the last guy, he's just not around to fuck it up like some loser baby daddy. There's issues of time and priorities like with all single mothers, and at the end of the day being willing to raise kids that aren't yours will get you classified as a beta in her lizard brain regardless of the circumstances. I just don't see it as a net positive. But then again I'm biased and have trouble seeing even a childless woman as a net positive, so YMMV.
