agree to disagree.

1. How are you going to legislate that? Are you going to make women of childbearing age go to a clinic every other month to get tested? What if she tests, it comes back positive, but tells you it was negative? Then a couple of months later, whaddya know, this one's positive? Or are the pregnancy test results reported to the man and not the woman?

2. I was that kid whose father decided he didn't want her. I know all about that. It sucks, hard. But it would have been easier if he had cared enough to send a check every once in a while. I would have been easier if we hadn't had to struggle our whole lives just to have the basics. So, from that perspective, I don't see why a man should not have to pay child support just because it's inconvenient for him. And I don't see why I as a tax payer should have to pay for your kid because it's inconvenient for you.
