They don’t care if the deadbeat dads pay an extra penny. All they care about is that it gives something resembling “rationale” to fetal personhood. Once they can establish fetal personhood, the fact that the deadbeats who weren’t paying anything before still aren’t paying anything will be completely irrelevant to them.
Smart people know there’s a difference between what Republican politicians say and what they mean. I’m willing to bet there’s plenty of republican men who will see “child support before birth” and go “woah hold the hell on.” We can legislate women all we want, but you don’t touch men.
