Personally I think child support should be considered unconstitutional under the 1973 ‘right to choose’ and ‘privacy’ ruling Roe vs Wade

I'm assuming that you don't mean for this to refer to situations where an unmarried man and woman agree to have a child together when they have been cohabitating as though they were married - right?

I see your point on that condition above. That one is a bit more difficult but in general child support should go to the child, and be regulated on the custodial parent's end. Right now it is just a windfall for women who want a baby or women who just get tired of a relationship. It should not be reward like it is now(privatized welfare) that the women can use to support the new boyfriend (is shown every day on judge TV shows.)
