Seems like 22% of women who have 2 or more biological children have had multiple fathers for the children.
As many would say, 22% of women with 2 or more children have multiple baby daddies. Wonder what that number was two generations ago.
Just another example of crumbling morals in America!
Will be rather interesting with the next generation as in 24 states a majority of births are Medicaid births and over 40% are unmarried births these days.

I wonder if there's a word for that. I bet the Germans have one.
Wow. Sexist and hyperbolic.
I was quite calm when I typed that simple statement. Do you call the many men on CD who regularly lose their tempers, "unhinged"? No, I know you don't.
Per my previous post, 19% of men have children with multiple partners- so, only slightly lower than the number of women who do.
Yep. Per the original article 21.6% of women 15+ with 2 or more kids and 19.3% of men 15+ with 2 or more kids.
So a 2.3% difference.
And who says it is morally wrong to have children with different partners? This includes second families from widowhood and divorce.
In the past it was fairly common for men to father children with a mistress. I heard many accounts from those of my parents generation that found out later they had half siblings from their fathers "other family".
Me thinks the OP needs to real in morality shaming.
American is rapidly becoming more and more hedonistic. For the majority, children are an inconvenient byproduct of sexual pleasure. Many fathers are from fatherless homes and have no sense of obligation to children they sired. The US is now a nation of mostly bastard children.
Regardless if you believe in God or not the Bible was and is a good blueprint for living. Today many people are basing their lives on instant pleasure with no regard to the future or the effect on others.
We hear more and more cases of women giving birth in a public bathroom and walking away leaving the infant at the mercy of strangers. The hard part to understand is with all the methods of birth control available why do we have so many unwanted children? Men are just as responsible as women on this matter.
If you do believe in God, you are aware that all will stand in front of him/her and give an account.
Morality is not some universal that can be broadly applied to the today times. If anything, we've grown into a more moral society. Instead of casting out folks who are different than us, namely letting people of the same sex married, and discard discriminatory practices like Jim Crow laws, we've only gotten better. What do you have to say about the declining divorce rate? It appears my generation is taking that more seriously than boomers ever did, the generation who brought us "50% of all marriages end in divorce". You should probably step off your stump now, you're embarrassing yourself.
