If it’s about “equality” you might as well have mandatory maternity testing too.

With babies switched at birth AND artificial insemination, it is very possible for a child to NOT be biologically related to the woman who has or is assumed to have given birth to him or her.

” mandatory maternity testing”

The US embassy would not give my daughter US Citizenship without a DNA test, so I had all 3 of us done. Funny part was I had a higher percentage of being the father than my wife did of being the mother, 99.9999999999% to 99.9999999998%

More like, trying to be Satan...

Yes. But as Satan wants to displace God, that just makes it a one-off.

Well if it is his kid he should be paying support or else learn to keep his pants zipped.

I agree, but that was not my point.

The only problem I have with this is that you KNOW the government would keep this information on file FOREVER. The feral government has no need whatsoever to have a record of my DNA.

Good post—at a minimum the paternity test at birth should be highly encouraged—and women who oppose it should be required to sign a lifetime waiver that they will not claim child support from anyone in the event of divorce or non-marriage.

I can’t believe “conservative” people would support this.

After thinking more about this it is not a one or zero "should the government." For example:

Should the government accept whoever the woman names as the father (believe all women)?

Should the government designate an unverified father on a birth certificate?

Should the government hold an unverified father responsible for child support?

All these are already being done causing injustice. Mandating paternity tests at birth could be a fix for this quagmire.

Okay, so someone doesn’t CHOOSE to participate in this. What should happen? Which government agency will enforce this MANDATE? Would a 6:00 am SWAT no knock arrest be okay with you? Cause that’s what you’re talking about when the government MANDATES. There are civil courts that can and do handle this type of thing. No. No mandates.

Who’s your daddy;) Who’s paying the child support (USG?). Young girls essentially FAMILY SLAVES living a Lie with a dirty little secret. I have written my local and the national republican party about this issue for several years between 1997-2006. This one issue can break the chains of sexual bondage, can help stop women from growing up hating men, and fix what’s broken in our communities. The roots of crime start at home and affect the entire nation today.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. IMO getting the Government involved in every child rather than pursuing the truth in problematic cases is a grave error like to putting the chains on your own ankles.
The Government is a dreadful master.

Should the Government?
The question is should the woman and man involved be able to provide the data?
Why the hell should the Government call to itself the right to referee?
Unintended consequences. We have already weakened the place of the family and the rights of parents to raise & protect their children. In the guise of doing good you want to reduce a family to those the Government has verified.
Where will we go when the America of your vision, big brother, who looks out for us, is implemented.
