No formal fallacies found. There are some inflammatory rhetorical devices and appeals to authority. The author uses phrases like 'stillborn daughter', 'estrangement over the last year', and 'toxic hierarchy' which are emotionally charged language meant to evoke sympathy or outrage. Additionally, there is an appeal to authority when referencing the IBLP religion's views on family size. However, these do not meet the threshold for formal fallacies.
