Of course it's political. Western culture has moved away from glorifying the nuclear family as the ideal way of living, so generations are being brought thinking that having a family is not all that important.
I believe that a lot of issues like this (with depressed and drugged out single moms, etc) could have been avoided if more people realized that having a tightly knit nuclear family is definitely worth striving for. And that a lot of the cultural changes over the past decades (the promotion of promiscuity and other forms of social liberalism) are not really progressive in terms of improving the quality of life within our society as a whole.

Making it so that women who found themselves in very difficult situations had access to abortion would probably help too. These are also political decisions of course.
