What you are talking about is not the result of promiscuous sex. It is the result of people uneducated in the use of birth control.
IUD's, modern pills and patches are 99.7%, or more, effective.
There would be next to none of the problems you mention if REAL sex education was taught in schools.
Teen pregnancy rates have been dropping for years country wide (2012 was the lowest since 1946), except the states where abstinence only is taught.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
