I’m not sure that all these future deadbeat dads understand that when you’re court-ordered to pay child support, the HR/payroll department at work automatically deducts it from your pay (if the court decides/you’re in arrears). The State doesn’t wanna pay benefits on your behalf.
I keep thinking about how conservatives don’t like paying for unwed mothers and children (even their own) to eat/live and wonder if they understand what the only logical consequences are for their gleeful punishment of ‘loose’ women…they’re not seeming to grasp that technology makes it much easier for everyone to have lifelong consequences.
