The thing is though, most of them arn't Men theyr'e Boys!, with a much higher Sperm Count than IQ level. They dont give a damn, and are quite prepared to Father kids and walk away, and i'm afraid there's very little in todays society to discourage them either! Many of these Girls are getting Pregnant deliberatly to milk the Benefit system and avoid work. They seem to put more thought these days into buying a mobile phone than they do to planning parenthood.

I think providing them with the basic equipment (Government Issue) is a much better idea. It would actually cost far less in the long run i feel. It need not be too complicated, and could be operated via an extension of facilities that we already have in place ie Hospital Stores Departments and Occupational Therapy dept who already provide equipment for Elderly and Disabled people.

Child Benefit should also be limited to just the first child only. I know its not a great deal of money, and wouldn't solve the problem, but we need to get away from an idea where the state provides help to the most irresponsible members of society.

People with True hardship, illness and disability should be the main beneficiaries of State Help.
