re: Should a paternity test be mandatory?

The time to establish paternity is probably earlier. IMO it should be done when you get the amniocentesis done to make sure the baby is healthy - that's when the paternity should be established.

Men have a right to know this information. I can't think of anything more important in life. And you can be sure that if there were such a thing as maternity fraud there would be laws designed to protect women. Plus men would have to wear pink ribbons or someshit to protest in solidarity.

Presumably the rate of attempted fraud would also decrease if women cheating while not on birth control knew a test would show their wrongdoing
