Wouldn’t work. As long as people are people, they will continue to have sex, regardless of the consequences. It’s just the way it is. I think the only thing that would change it, is for it to go on a national ballot, and that won’t happen. Politicians are going to say whatever they need to say to get elected.

That false assumption is what leads liberals to be liberals -

that people don’t respond to incentives and consequences.

This is why libs reject the idea of free markets and capitalism in favor of controlled economies.

Not subsidizing the costs of unplanned pregnancy certainly would not get rid of the problem, but it would significantly reduce it to the point where it is more of an aberration instead of a rule. Teenage pregnancies were not a major problem until the government decided it would start paying for the costs of them, as well as paying for the costs of the children that resulted.

So, get yourself out there and start a foundation to support the fruit of their unwise decisions. You don’t have time to be on the internet chatting with the rest of us!
