So is there no shortage of clowns impersonating as lawyers in this country? In this neoliberal age of utter female depravity that we find ourselves in, is this so-called lawyer not bothered about the threat of increasing paternity fraud instances to the sanity and decency of human society? Does it not worry him that we are all potential victims of the mother of all frauds? I think all right-thinking people in this country should lend a hand of moral support to A-Plus in his effort to remove the fear of doubt that hangs over many families.

Don't forget it's very difficult to put value on two(2) different crimes so let keep it as it's. Again a woman can force a boy to have sex with her which can produce a child .The boy will be exonerated and the woman punish.

Most paternity frauds are not intentional. The women had sperms injected into them from more than one pairs of testicles so they guessed.

How can a lawyer speak like this. Paternity fraud is based on evidence of paternity test and not emotions or hearsay. The test should is conducted when the child is born and and the paternity established period. I thought you'd talk about the rape aspect which I think will deter women from reporting cases because you can't prove beyond reasonable doubt in most cases due to the subjectivity of evidence.

Shallow lawyer. The birth certicate is a sworn document issued based on data supplied. If you've been promiscuous, you shouldn't name a person without a DNA test. False swearing will be the offense not fraud.

What do people understand at all about democracy? Every small thing our democracy this
our democracy that. Even america the grandmother of all democracies is no longer talking about it as reality is settling in. They are mostly now talking about America first. Meaning that if it wont be in the best interest of america to hell with it. Democracy cannot and should not stand in the way of our progress and well being self determination as a people. It's supposed to help enrich the social economic cultural and spiritual life of the people and not to promote what others want for them. But our so called learned people will miscontrue democracy to mean ANYTHING GOES, as in the west which is morally killing them today. It's this same miscontued democracy they are using to force sodomy down our throats with the help of their local collaborators.

Better be sure who impregnated you before you claim paternity. To place the burden of responsibility of fatherhood on a man when you're not certain he is indeed responsible or to deliberately impose responsibility for personal/malicious gain is criminal convenience and must be punished by law.
