Murdering terrible legislation

You’re missing the point. I feel like I was super clear but people are misinterpreting me anyway because of their own preconceived notions.

I’m not saying that pregnancy doesn’t incur additional expenses, of course it does. No one is arguing that. However, those expenses are for the mother, not the child. The mother is wearing bigger clothing, the mother is eating the food, as well as any employment losses.

While I agree with you that those expenses need to be covered by the father in some form, I don’t believe it’s to be called “child support” until it’s born.

The argument is about the term child support, not whether those expenses should be covered or not.
