We should stop throwing money at people who have babies. When my first wife and I had our children there was no such thing as paid maternity leave and we had to take responsibility for our actions by financing them all by ourselves (other than approximately £5 per week 'child allowance'. This is a perfect example of the ridiculous 'nanny state' we've got here in the UK now, where people behave in any feckless way they choose and expect the taxpayer to pick up the tab. Maybe if these daft lasses had to finance their sprogs themselves they'd think twice before opening their legs and expecting to have a good living paid for out of my hard-earned taxes. It makes my blood boil.
