Cause and Effect

Lorelai Gilmore had her daughter Rory at a very young age.

This accidental pregnancy could have been a result of two irresponsible teenagers having unprotected sex, or maybe Lorelai got pregnant on purpose as an act of rebellion towards her parents. A third cause of this pregnancy could have been that maybe Lorelai wanted to get pregnant.

Whatever the cause of this pregnancy was, it lead to the birth of Lorelai's daughter, Rory.

When Lorelai's parents found out about their daughter's pregnancy, Emily and Richard Gilmore were outraged.

This pregnancy also lead to the end of the relationship between Lorelai and Chris, Rory's father.

The ultimate outcome of this pregnancy was the strengthening of Lorelai's independence.
