If by 50% you imply that 50% of American women are divorced, you need to brush up on elementary statistics. That one's a howler.

No, you need to brush up on elementary mathematical principles. Like rounding.

In actual fact, precisely 45.9% of women in the US who have been married at least once are no longer married to their first husband... That's close enough to 50% to justify sound-bite value.

In case it matters, the rate at which liberated, emancipated, American women, voluntarily marrying for love the second time round STILL fail to make an effective decision is marginally improved to 45.2%

And you claim that America's divorce laws are doing anybody a service? Now that's a "howler"!

As far as I can tell, the vast majority of divorce lawyers are a waste of oxygen.
