+1 terrible idea. I have two very close friends who both have children fathered by AP’s instead of their H’s. This would wreck probably 10-20% of marriages.


HORRIBLE IDEA.


I have a friend who knew his wife got pregnant with an AP but didn’t want the child — his own kids sibling — to be fatherless or viewed as less than so out his name in the birth certificate and told everyone he was the father. There’s no reason to cause the child pain if the parents aren’t looking to ask questions.


How did the real father feel about that?

They can't. It is incredibly hard for a biological father to can an order for a test to establish paternity.

So now you want a nationwide database of men's DNA. Again, where are the conspiracy theorists when you need them?

I suspect the percentage is lower than whatever the manosphere claims. Some men know. Others don’t care.


I'm not. This is a misogynist and abuser wet dream.


That's the argument for making it mandatory rather than optional.


Oh yeah, because misogynists and abusers are well known to take into account the wishes of women.

This proposition is a solution in search of a problem. There's no epidemic of married men raising children that are not theirs:

Once a man is on a birth certificate it’s very hard to get him off.


And? If he’s worried about it, he can already request a paternity test.

Basically the government doesn't want to be involved in interpersonal drama, so they're simply not going to put themselves into that position. It costs money and leads to more potential costly drama, so from a pure cost standpoint, they don't want to do it. People can pursue their own options easily enough.

Yeah, I am surprised Democrats aren't 100% behind this. Sounds like one of their ideas.

PP coming back to clarify. If a state gets rid of access to abortion and forces women to birth babies, the state should help them get the financial support they need to raise the child.

No, that's exactly why its needed. Women cheats and gets a free pass. Kids have a right to know as do dad's. If the divorce happens a man should not have to pay for at least 18 years, if not longer for a child who isn't his and lied to. They should be held accountable.


You incels can pay and have the testing done yourself anytime. You need therapy.

So the government is going to collect DNA on every child and father? Where are the conspiracy theorists when you need them?!

And that’s the way the government wants it, so don’t expect the government to make it easier to have no father indicated on a birth certificate in the first place.
