Texas law denying right of paternal support to illegitimate children while granting it to legitimate children violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Cf. Levy v. Louisiana, 391 U.S. 68 ; Weber v. Aetna Casualty & Surety Co., 406 U.S. 164 .

Beam me up Scotty!

Anyone else notice that this didn't work? It failed utterly to accomplish its purpose?

It didn't "fix" a "defect" in equal protection

It simply shifted its satisfaction to the taxpayer!

IDIOT ALERT!!

Marriage should entail more protection for women contemplating pregnancy that whoring around-which is the point of the wise common law overturned by Gomez vs. Perez.
