It's a little less bad (less bad than the p = .57 on your spreadsheet)
when you use the author's denominator, which is the subset of people
who had actually wanted to have children: 67 out of 108.  The numbers
are then:

                    male   female
depression           8       14     22
no depression        8       37     45
                      16       51     67

And the p value is .09, two-tailed.

But that's by far the biggest "difference" of the half dozen
differences he reports.
