Hmm? I never said that the parents should not help their pregnant daughter. I said she shouln't be cashing checks from the government and that losing this financial support will act as a detriment to act irresponsible.
I don't see how is that contradictory? If anything, it would give the parents another "tool" how to teach their kids some responsibility - "we won't let you starve but you standard of living will take a hit if you get drunk and stupid."

IMO set of moral values = libertarianism (in the classical sense of the word, not to be confused with any libertarian political party)
