He never said that eighth month pregnant waitress was unmarried. Maybe she is working with a husband and although they are not in the best financial state she chose not to abort. I think that's what he is trying to say.

Doesn't matter... even if she is unmarried, she is still making the right "choice".

I think that Steyn is not so much advising his gentle reader to reward the woman for getting pregnant at 17, as for having had the moral fortitude to make the right decision after becoming pregnant. "Thanks for not killing your baby".

This is very true, but I think the poster was saying she was irresponsible i.e. knocked up. All I'm saying is that no matter what it seems, one cannot assume that if she is pregnant and working, she is alone. Give her kudos no matter what.

The "crank 'em out for the Fatherland" ideology of the preceding paragraphs indicates otherwise.
