YES... privacy be fucking damned, if the whore is squirting out someone else's kid and expects ME to pay to raise it i godamn well have a right to know.
YES... see above. take accountability for your actions.
no. i don't even know how that would work.
as in mandatory testing at birth? no, probly not. should there be legal recourse for men who suspect? you're damn right there should be.

ooh someone needs an outlet for all that pent up frustration.


but i agree if there is suspicion, all parties should um... come to the party and get it sorted.

1) Obligated, no. It could be discretionary, though. I think it's a matter of medical ethics, rather than political intervention.

2) If they find out? So what's the deal?
Replacing those post-coital ciggies with mouth swabs, to hand to the eager government minion waiting with his rubber gloves by the bed?

3) Sounds as impractical, and impracticable, as it does Orwellian.

4) See 1) and 3).

According to sperm competition theory men are equipped anatomically and psychologically to confront the adaptive challenge of female infidelity, sperm competition, and cuckoldry. Basically when a woman has sex with 2 or more men within a sufficiently short period of time, the stage is set for sperm competition to occur. If a man suspects that has wife or long term invested partner has fucked another guy, it would be in his best interests to initiate sex as quickly as possible. This gets his sperm in the game so to speak, and because the human penis may have evolved as a semen displacement device, he may actually be able to remove rival sperm from the reproductive tract of his partner. This is why men whom following a prolongued absense from their partner are more likley than men who have not spent a great amount of time from their partner and can physically account for a partner's actions are more likely to report using more vigorous and deeper sexual thrusts, theoretically in a conscious or unconscious attempt to remove rival sperm. Suspected infidelity is one of the leading causes of Forced In-Pair Copulation, otherewise known as partner rape.

If sperm competition tactics fail, research suggests that men are also equipped with psychological adaptations to assess paternity. Assessing father/child facial resemblance is one such tactic. In my opinion it is up to a man's psychology to detect infidelity, thwart cuckoldry, and assess paternity accordingly. If he cannot do this then perhaps his genes were not meant to replicate in the first place. Damn that's gotta sting.
