What can be done to discourage high birth rates in lower income families?

---

1. Mandatory sex education in public schools starting in junior high. Throw in nutrition, drugs, alcohol and other things so make it a mandatory health class.
2. Allow government benefits for only one out of wedlock child. Everybody has the potential to make a mistake and get knocked up but I expect you to learn from your mistake.
3. Set standards to achieve for mothers that receive gov benefits (i.e must maintain a 2.5 gpa and graduated from high school, must work a min of 20 hrs a week if part time student, 35hr a week if you are not a student, be full time student and maintain a 2.5 gpa and you only get 5 years to get a bachelors degree, etc).
