I don't understand all the talk about increased spending on pregnancy prevention education: "if you have unprotected intercourse, you stand a good chance of becoming pregnant". Is that so hard to teach? Does that require significant public funding? Haven't kids learned that from their parents by the time they are able to reproduce? I mean really, we're talking about a 1 minute conversation here.
I would suggest the problem is much deeper. More likely factors are young women whose maternal instincts are kicking in too early and they haven't been educated IN GENERAL enough yet, leaving them stupid enough to think they are capable of raising a child. Or more stupidity in the vein of not taking the risks seriously. And of course the fathers brushing off the risk since they know they can pretty much just walk away unscathed (as opposed to being required to contribute and participate heavily, rightfully sharing the mammoth task of raising a child).
