What a mess we are in. My gut says that part of the answer is to be militantly efficient in teaching sex education in high school, but really the issue is parents. Or 'parent', if the mother did a shitty job choosing a father, or screwed him over so badly that he had no choice but to bail.

I've always been adamantly pro-choice, but now I wonder if that is just encouraging the irresponsible culture that we are in. I'd like to think that if women have no choice but to face the consequences of their poor choices, they will be more careful. Either way, I don't think I should be paying for their bailouts, either at the abortion clinic, or supporting their lifestyles if they choose the have the child.
