Concerning the article on “Duped dads", Arnie Goldstein, associate director of the Excelsior Youth Center in Aurora says “Whoever raises the kid is the father.” I say, let Arnie pay if he is so gung ho. This is another example of the extreme left ruining the good name of the Progressives. This is the kind of thinking that lets the IRS go after employees who paid their taxes in good faith through their employers, but the employers never forwarded the payments to the IRS.
According to ABC News*, “Supporters of paternity identification bills point to a 1999 study by the American Association of Blood Banks that found that in 30 percent of 280,000 blood tests performed to determine paternity, the man tested was not the biological father.” “Most state laws are based on Medieval English common law, which assumed that a married woman’s husband fathered all of her children. The U.S.
Supreme Court upheld this presumption in 1989 when it gave a custodial father rights over a noncustodial biological father.” The Supremes also upheld slavery and put Jehovah Witnesses in jail for failing to salute the flag, against their religious beliefs.
While your at it Arnie, in between telling others how to pay for the rest of their lives for the lies their spouses perpetrated on them, maybe you can adopt a few dozen of these kids and pick up the tab. Then you can walk a mile in their shoes.
