Many women have children by more than one man

The L.A. Times reports:
More than one-quarter of U.S. women with two or more children have children with more than one man, according to a new study, the first national survey of "multiple partner fertility."

The study found that, overall, 28% of women with two or more children had children by different men. The rate was 59% among African American women with two or more children compared with 35% among Hispanic women and 22% among white women, said the author of the study Cassandra Dorius, a demographer at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research.
