Sounds from the article that the program is completely voluntary, not coerced at all.

If that's the case, sounds good to me. I handle enough divorces and paternity actions to see the huge social cost, to adults but even more to children, that divorce and out of wedlock children cause. To say nothing of the financial cost. Any information that the state can offer that can help people make the right choice about marriage sounds like a step forward.

If it were coerced, then obviously my opinion changes. But information that may lead to better lives for children, and for adults, seems like a better use of taxpayer money than many of the things they use it for.
