What are we supposed to do, PAY PEOPLE not to be promiscuous???

All I asked is "How do you propose to incentivize that?". That's how the world runs. We give incentives for good behavior, and disincentives for bad behavior.

Islam, for example, practices the disincentive of stoning people to death when they do not follow prescribed practices. While I don't propose going that far, I do think that applying disincentives of some sort to bad behavior would tend to reduce bad behavior. In the spirit of fairness, I think that disincentives should be applied to both men and women.

So, getting back to my original point, "How do you propose to incentivize that?", have you any suggestions as to how we could discourage having babies out of wedlock? Preferably in such a way that the disincentives do not fall exclusively on the men?

Yep, and conservatives are supposed to understand that:
