Pay Back

Back in Nineteen seventy-three
Men sowed oats and courts ruled them free
But now DNA
Can make them all pay
Their fair share of paternity

DNA changed everything. It cannot be refuted. One of the best things to happen for women in many years. A very clever Limerick Rico. It is great being back reading your poetry again. Blessings and Aloha. xxoo

I hope you are right, Rico! Somehow, I don’t think most men will be affected by their actions and the women will be bearing the burden…

Most deadbeats have figured out a way to dodge support. The old saying, "You can't get blood out of a turnip," always applies.

Already California abortion clinics are overwhelmed with appts. from out of state. A couple of guys are going to cry out that they are not the father. Long live Maury Pavich!

Require all birth registrations to include a gedcom! People already micro-chip their pets and tag their belongings, so a gedcom not only enables correct idenitification, but alerts medical professionals to genetic health and medicine risks whilst ensuring biological parents pay their way. Imagine how quickly clinics will re-open when men discover they have lifetime obligations!
