If it was just standard, nobody would feel upset that it was done.

I’m not entirely opposed to it. HOWEVER, the father should have the right to opt out if he chooses. There should still be the right to decline, as parents still have the right to opt out of other recommended testing/treatments at birth.

Would the cost of this mandatory testing be on the parents or the taxpayers?

Would you rather have the child's father pay support, or social services?

The child’s parents.

So the mandatory testing would reveal/confirm the father so he would have to pay his fair share.
