The situation is far worse than this graph implies. First of all the graph ends in 2008, and we all know that it's gotten far worse in the last 15 years as what was left of the cultural restraints on women being complete and utter whores disintegrated. The other thing is that this doesn't account for women who were married to the father when the kid was born but later threw the father in the garbage for cash and prizes. Those fathers aren't any more present, so the kids in that situation are just as fucked up. In other words this graph massively underestimates the single mother problem.
