It's called consequences. You make the punishment harsh enough that you don't commit the crime. If there is no fear of the punishment, then there is no reason to change and no longer do something.

I didn't say you can't change society with government, the democrats already have proven that many times. I said that you can't force someone to change, they still have free will. The government could make it where a single mother was worse off than if the man had no job but still lived there. Over time the expectation would be that a man lives with the mother of his children and then those kids benefit from it. It would naturally cut down on the number of women having kids with multiple men and vice versa. Over a decade or 2, although could take 2+ generations, society would have changed to where almost all families lived together and the government wouldn't need to enforce any rules then.

It just takes longer to fix something that the democrats previously broke unless there is some catalyst action that causes people to change abruptly.
