I'm not moving any goalpost.
But the stereotypical young woman you imagined in the earlier comment, was a bit different than the one you thought of in the later comment.

Sure you did, you went from 18 year old high school graduate to 16 year old single mom. Then you pretend like she'd be labeled awful things for wanting a traditional family life. Because you're failing at trying to make another point that you really, really want to be seen as insightful. But you know that, you just like to play dumb on the internets for fun.

The law of unintended consequences in that if you want to encourage 18 year old girls to marry up and start making babies, 16 year old girls will also be encouraged the same way.  Let's consider three, and they are all 16.  One already got knocked up.  Should she marry the guy who did it?  The other is still a virgin but she wants to have sex with her 16 year old boyfriend.  They are both in love and want to get married and have kids right away.  But of course he has no money and has completed no education, not yet anyhow.  Should they get married and start reproducing? The third is also a virgin and a financially independent 24 year old man has expressed an interest in her.  What should she do? 
Is "I don't want to finish high school and I just want to be a mom" a commendable choice for any of them?
