I agree with gg that sterilization should be offered for free to poor women who keep having babies. I think the number of women who are having babies with the express purpose of 'living off the system' or pulling a number on some dude are minimal.
You know, women like to fuck, too. Sometimes, just like men, we just want to get laid and not think about the consequences. And, as always, I really hate the double standard that characterizes the two genders regarding this subject - which is still rooted in the idea that female sexual aggression is dirty, immoral, corrupt, manipulative, deceptive, dangerous, etc., etc. I'm sure it has something to do with the power that female sexuality has over men, but this isn't the middle ages, there are no succubi. Just horny women getting laid, sometimes irresponsibly, but they are hardly alone when they are doing it.
I guess I'm getting off topic, though, what a surprise.
