Your option is going to create a lot of kids who are raised without dads.

Yes, right up until women figure out that the Gravy Train isnt running anymore. Suddenly marriage will become fashionable again when the benefits of Bastardy are eliminated.

If we give unmarried men that kind of option, almost all of them will take it. People underestimate how big a role child support payments play in overall child welfare. Point being, if you do this, you're going to have a lot more destitute children, or we're going to have to increase spending on government payments to mothers.

We should eliminate that as well and return welfare to the private sector where it belongs. Public Policy should encourage self reliance not encourage irresponsible behavior.
