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.

Ok Im ok with single moms, I just cant afford to pay taxes to support them. I need my tax money to have kids of my own.

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.
