On that babydaddy question…

Well, Senator Campfield’s “Save the Babydaddies” bill is now dead, but the debate goes on over at the Tiny Cat Pants blog, where she argues that paternity isn’t just about the DNA test:
My point is, though, that, if someone claims you have knocked them up and you have the slightest doubt about whether that’s true, go get you a paternity test asap. There’s no law against it. If you are such a lazy coward that you want the law to force women to submit our children to paternity tests, when you could just go have it done, you are an idiot and I kind of wish you ill.
And, yes, I do feel bad for guys who think a kid is theirs and then find out that, biologically, it isn’t. And, I might even argue that, if the mother and the guy who thought he was the father, but isn’t, aren’t married, he should not be able to be forced to pay to support a child that isn’t biologically his.
But the time to do this is when the baby is born, before you sign your name to the birth certificate. Once you willingly put your name on the birth certificate, tough…
