going further,
and it would likely need to be phased in over time,
I would entertain discussion on aid to children being limited to the first gestation (including sires, obviously) for parents. Subsequent offspring would nevertheless be required to be supported by both parents (baring incapacities noted above, and including SSI type events) and if they weren't, the state would simultaneously step in with the support and the nonpaying parent(s) would spend the rest of the kids formative years in prison.
Everyone says kids come first, OK, then this is how we guaranty that happens.
And the neat thing about phasing it in would be the instant it becomes obvious we're serious about going all the way with this, the manifest need for it will dissipate virtually instantly.
And then the kids will be coming first, regardless.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
