I don't think the OP is justifiable.
Of course it is. The left devoted countless hours scrounging for each and every little inaccuracy concerning any aspect of Sarah Palin's life, and when they couldn't find anything worth while, they just made stuff up. They even hacked her e-mails illegally and then made a hero of the hacker.
Davis and her supporters have been out there promoting a story built on half-truths, obfuscations, and outright lies. So yes, of course she is fair game and it is only just to go after her.
Wendy Davis was indeed a teen mom. She had her daughter Amber at 18. When her husband ran out on her shortly after she did indeed end up living in a trailer.
According to HotAir:
The basic elements of the narrative are true...some facts have been blurred.
Davis was 21, not 19, when she was divorced. She lived only a few months in the family mobile home while separated from her husband before moving into an apartment with her daughter.
A single mother working two jobs, she met Jeff Davis, a lawyer 13 years older than her, married him and had a second daughter. He paid for her last two years at Texas Christian University and her time at Harvard Law School, and kept their two daughters while she was in Boston. When they divorced in 2005, he was granted parental custody, and the girls stayed with him. Wendy Davis was directed to pay child support.

Wendy Davis autobiography underwent some … revisions « Hot Air
How often is a woman not granted custody in a divorce case? However there is also the potential she lied under oath concerning her first divorce. But, yeah, we all know exactly how the left feels about their icons lying under oath.
From the American Thinker:
"Over time, the Davises' marriage was strained. In November 2003, Wendy Davis moved out."
"Jeff Davis said that was right around the time the final payment on their Harvard Law School loan was due. "It was ironic," he said. "I made the last payment, and it was the next day she left."

As others have said, she marries a guy and stays with him just long enough for him to pay for her education, and the moment the last payment is made, she leaves. What a gal!
Of course she rose to the level of liberal icon due to her devout pro-abortion stance.
Wendy Davis Texas gubernatorial campaign stumbles over fudged facts
"Wendy Davis, the Texas lawmaker who rocked national headlines with her 11-hour floor speech against a bill to limit abortion, has now been caught making a couple of exaggerated claims in her campaign for governor."
"Ms. Davis rose to national prominence when she donned a back brace, urinary catheter and pink running shoes and then tried to filibuster a bill that clamped down on abortion in the state. She spoke for about 11 hours."

This is exactly why she will be rabidly defended by the left, not only in Texas but nationwide, because she is pro-abortion.
However Dana Loesch had a good take on Davis on Twitter:
