Must we devise solution to every little problem in the world?

No. But it would be nice. And it might win you converts. But if you can't improve on the current situation, then you must admit failure in that area. Also, I think alot of people would disagree that unplanned pregnancy is a little problem. As a matter of fact, I'd bet that the majority of unplanned pregnancies present a big problem to the mother.

He's not proposing any solutions, but he wants the "libertarians and anarchists" to propose solutions! HAHAHAHAHA.
The only "solution" necessary is for you to accept responsibility for your own actions.

Well, look back a bit and you'll see that grondilu's language clearly forbids me from offering solutions. But you want to change the status quo, so the onus is on you to explain why. Right now we have laws that forcibly oblige people to be responsible for their actions, and despite that, many people behave irresponsibly. Why would they suddenly become models of responsibility if the law is eliminated? Do you seriously think that all (say) young men, on the day law is banished forever, would suddenly start manning-up and taking responsibility for their unplanned children? It's my turn to laugh now.

And, really, this discussion is not just about unplanned pregnancy. It's not just about "little problems". It's about what libertarians/anarchists/whoever will do when there is a conflict arising from unintended and unforeseen consequences of a voluntary contract. Right now we have a justice system which allocates responsibility according to certain (very very complicated) rules. Apart from simplifying the rules, how can the elimination of law (or the introduction of poly-centric law, whatever that is) improve the situation? That's what I'd like to see you answer.
