End the filibuster first, and you don't. You also solve most of those silly problems with Democrats not being able to get things done.Not to mention you need a super majority to even have a chance of that.
This is precisely why pro-choice arguments are built on medical bodily autonomy and pro-life arguments are built on the idea that a fetus is ultimately a human child at it's earliest and most vulnerable stage of development. Supporting abortion is just saying that the mother has a unique right to utterly back out of that expectation, so long as she takes the option early enough.Well, the thing about dependents is that they depend on other people. Therefore, there is an expectation that both the people who created that certain form of dependent should contribute to its welfare.
If that were the case, then some effort would be made to ensure that money is spent for the child's benefit, yet none is. We manage to have all kinds of regulations and paperwork to justify the payout for any kind of support where the money comes from the government, but not child support.Despite the fact that welfare of the child is the primary aim,
Hell, there are even occasional cases where the parent who the child is currently living with is paying the other parent, because that parent had lost custody but their lifestyle needs be maintained in case they manage to regain custody in the future. And cases where the recipient is funding their entire lifestyle from child support. The actor who played Alan on Two and a Half Men fell into both those, with the court requiring him to continue paying child support for a time despite her no longer having custody of the child because child support was her only income (and had been since they broke up) and she might potentially regain custody in the future.
Citations needed.There are actually ways to get out of child support, and there are cases of women like raping men, getting pregnant and being denied child support. And if I recall correctly, a father can "abandon" the child, not sure what the legal term is, and say not his, he wants no part in anything to do with it, and doesn't have to pay child support.
