I'm sure there are more than a few that abuse the system but this doesn't mean you have to get it ruined for everyone else.
If you think this is indeed a problem the best preventive method would be better education.
As I said in that same post there will be situations where a woman already has more than one kid when she goes on welfare. In my view if you have one kid when you go on welfare, that is enough. If you already have more than one kid when you go on welfare that is enough.

I understand there could still be abuse. There is nothing from stopping a woman from going on welfare then getting a job for a little while and going off it, getting pregnant and going back on it. No system is perfect, but this would stop many of the people for whom welfare is a career.

But I do agree with the education part. We should be teaching kids about birth control from about 8th grade on. The problem is there are many parts of this country where all they teach is abstinence which means they end up with a lot of pregnant teenagers.
