I admit I did not read this whole article, as the author's style seems quite verbose.
But this quote, supposedly from the author's daughter, jumped out at me: "Mom, if God gives me a baby before I am married, I won't worry. I know that you and Dad would take care of it so that I could stay in school."
What? Is she serious? Is God in the business of just "giving" babies to teens these days? Has this author not told her daughter how babies are created, and that the daughter's actions have EVERYTHING to do with whether she will be "given" a baby? And the daughter would certainly be an anomaly to have two parents who would assume the responsibility to care for this child. How common would that be in today's world?

Very common unfortunately.
Kid should be packed off the an unwed mother's home, and baby out for adoption,.
