It is mentioned that Lorelai shouldn't be allowed to have a dog because she hasn't cared well for her previous pets.

There is very minor characters who goes to the Navi and returns with a hook for a hand.
I currently am not sure which episodes he appears in, but at the earliest, when Rory goes to College.

It may appear through the series that there’s going to be more, but it’s only those two episodes and it’s basically just audio.

1. in the flashback episode it shows lorelei as a teenager pregnant in the hospital, about to give birth. scene lasts for a long time as it is the main theme of the episode. 2. both of sookies births are frantic and unexpected, we can see her speeding away to the hospital. 3. SPOILER - lane has children but never shows her in the hospital 4. liz has a baby (again, in a frantic way) NONE OF THE SCENES ARE GRAPHIC OR SHOW THEM ACTUALLY PUSHING A BABY OUT

Kind of. There is one comment played for laughs in this episode. A group of people is exchanging gossip about people in a small town and one person says "Did you know that [a woman in the town who is never shown and never mentioned again] is actually a man?" and another person says "I'm not surprised" and then it cuts away to another scene.

Only briefly. The local pastor and rabbi share the only worship space in town and are shown to be friendly with each other. They scold other characters for being dogmatic.
At one point a pastor is called in to give Rory, a young adult, a talk encouraging abstinence.
