Paternity Opportunity Program (POP)

"Establishing paternity is the process of determining the legal father of a
child. When parents are married, paternity is automatically established in
most cases. If parents are unmarried, paternity establishment is not
automatic and the process should be started by both parents as soon as
possible for the benefit of the child. Unmarried parents can establish
paternity (legal fatherhood) by signing the voluntary Declaration of
Paternity. This can be done in the hospital after the child is born. A
Declaration of Paternity may also be signed by parents after they leave the
hospital.
Unmarried parents who sign the Declaration of Paternity form help their
child(ren) gain the same rights and privileges of a child born within a
marriage. Some of those rights include: financial support from both parents,
access to important family medical records, access to the non-custodial
parent's medical benefits, and the emotional benefit of knowing who both
parents are."

The above propoganda is targeted to ignorant men in an effort to sucker them
into being legally obligated to hand free money to a woman for many years!
The "financial support from both parents" is untrue. This Declaration does
absolutely NOTHING to cause a mother to support her children financially.
Just curious: what law states that a child has the "right" to know who their
father is? Notice that NO benefits are ascribed to the paying man. Thus, if
he gets no benefits then whyever would he pay?
