I like how this thread has successfully turned out to be a conversation about how to stop people from having babies.

We started with the "ghetto mama" and now we've moved onto "Lolita."

The solution isn't in one specific thing, whether highly technical or program based. It's actually quite multidisciplinary and multifaceted. The solution is in fighting poverty, improving access to both sex education and higher education, and removing the barriers women face with regard to vocational pursuits and economic feasibility. Though there are also problems with regard to gender and sexuality in society and media influence, but that's another story.
