Years ago most men felt the responsibility to marry in such situations and did. Not today. As a society we need to reverse the current trend and again raise responsible men and women.
Great idea. How can this be done?

The edges of society have always been frayed. What's happened recently is that the middle has become undone as well. There's no consistent culture or morality being passed down between generations, partly from the hippies breaking the social contract in the 60's and American business breaking the social contract(welfare capitalism) in the 70's. This has led to a culture of gratification and anxiety even among the people that should know better(the professional/middle classes).
Wish I knew an easy solution, but I don't.
