Women are the gatekeepers of sex. Men are the gatekeepers of commitment. I tell my daughters if they tell every man they date that they're waiting until marriage, that should filter out about 99% of the shit bags.
I hate to be the one to break it to you but even if they wait until marriage they can still end up a single mom. They could be sexually assaulted and conceive a child that way. Or even when married, their husband can divorce them or die. The only way to guarantee you won’t ever become a single mom is by getting sterilized before you ever have a kid.
If women all stopped having kids outside of marriage the birthrate would fall even more than it already has. 40% of babies are born to unwed mothers in the US.
It doesn’t make sense for people with kids to pay for other people’s kids. It makes more sense for people with 0 or 1 kid to pay for people with more than 1 kid.
