Which statement by a parent of a pregnant, unmarried 15-year-old is expected?
1. "I'm not going to get involved. She understands how her health insurance works."
2. "An abortion is the best choice for her. She can deal with our Catholic priest later."
3. "We're very happy for her. It will be easier to focus on education with a new baby."
4. "Her father told her to stop dating that boy. Now look at the trouble she's gotten into."

Explanation:
1. The parent of a pregnant teen is usually the support person and helps the teen understand how to access prenatal care. It is unlikely that a 15-year-old would understand health insurance.
2. This statement indicates that the parent is not going to discuss the pregnancy with the teen but might be forcing the teen into abortion. Because religious tradition impacts views on abortion, and Catholicism disapproves of abortion, the teen might not accept abortion as an option.
3. Most parents accept the pregnancy but are not excited when their 15-year-old is pregnant. And education is harder when child care is involved. Teens that give birth are less likely to complete their education.
4. This statement indicates anger and dismay, which are expected when a parent finds out about a teen daughter's pregnancy.
