This is a stupid idea. I mean it's 'fair' I guess if that's what your looking for, but it won't help any problems and would in fact make them worse.
And I take back the 'fair' bit actually. What's the difference between a 15 year old getting pregnant who can't support and a 20 or 40 year old getting pregnant with no means to support?
Talk about overly simplistic...

They're not and that's the point. If paying for their action doesn't teach them, nothing will. If someone needs to get burnt to learn, then so be it. Smarter girls will learn when they'll see their friend with a baby living on sugar water and dry bread. Dumber girls will live on sugar water themselves and maybe their friends will learn from their mistakes.
Simply talking about being responsible is nonsence. One ear in, other ear out. That's not a way to teach responsibility, that's making excuses. Paying for your mistakes is the way to go. This society degenerates by being way too easy on irresponsible teens enough as it is.
