Also, in the domestic abuse shelter where I worked for a year and a half, the women who were getting/ gotten abortions....it was usually not their own idea. Often it was pressure from the male who did not wan the responsibility, so it became "you get an abortion or you are completely responsible for this kid". And even the mothers of the women did this same pressure.

There is such a breakdown in our society in all of these areas. Churches can go a long way in turning this around, for sure. If we have people who are living a committed lifestyle, and people who are willing to learn how to commit.
Older women who are willing (and qualified) to teach the younger is still a very valuable concept. Too many of the young ladies you mentioned above have never had that older, wise woman in their lives.
