No. I generally don't like the idea of government forcing shite upon people specially if both "parents" do not want it.

I think the way it works here is if the woman agrees there can be a paternity test. If she does not then the presumed "father" has to ask the court for it to be done.

I think a presumed father should have the clear and legal right to have this test done. The woman should not be able to decline this and force the man to court for this test.
Obviously laws will have to written as to when the best time is for this to be done considering the health of the baby.
