There's also an argument (not saying that I necessarily support it or whatnot) that getting pregnant out of wedlock to begin with shows a lack of responsibility.

I have to comment on some of this...first of all...
I believe that if your determined to do something..you can! There are a lot of mothers out there...younger and older that can be great mothers or they can be total deadbeats!
I know girls that have gotten pregnant and had babies before their sixteenth birthday and were better moms to their babies that some older mothers in their 20's & up...
Its very true that the education level has NOTHING to do with how well you raise your baby...
As far as getting pregnant out of wedlock...NOBODY can control that unless they chose to be irresponsible and not use any protection or birth control...thats what makes a person irresponsible! I was on the BC patch not to metion my fiance used protection and obviously the man upstairs wanted me to have a precious gift of life!
I believe that what makes a woman responsible is putting her baby first before anything and actually raising her child instead of passing it off on someone else and if the time permits her to be an active member of a sorority then good for her! I know if it was me back before I pledged Kappa Delta and found out that I was pregnant..I probably wouldnt be a proud KD today! Being a responsible mother is a very hard job and I know it takes all my time up! I am not very active with KD at all but when PJ gets old enough for me to trust his father with him them maybe I can devote some time to the local AA...
