No, had the situation actually followed Sarah Palin's core beliefs, her daughter learning abstinence only would have prevented the pregnancy. After something she firmly believed in was (for the millionth time) demonstrated to be ineffective, she was already in the public eye. According to what Bristol Palin said in subsequent interviews, Sarah Palin allowed Bristol to make the decision to keep the baby. That's a violation of the pro-life stance that Sarah Palin champions.

I don't understand your point here. To me it is as clear as can be how a teenage pregnancy can turn into a disaster without the unconditional love and support of parents.

Some people are pressured into marriage, but it's not common anymore. As more time passes and society continues to progress, it will likely continue to become less common.
Do you think President Obama would support and love his daughter regardless of what she decided to do if she became pregnant?

Many only means a few in this case. Most parents love their children.

It's called "sociology" and "biology".

If Sarah Palin is a hero for not
hating her daughter, you've set the bar for being a hero unbearably low.
