Fathers count
New York State is running an ad campaign with the same claimed purpose as the one in California we've recently discussed. I saw an ad on the back of the bus yesterday.
The ad is in three parts: Picture of cute baby boy on the left, picture of clean-cut father on the right, underneath a panel with two words:
Fathers Count.
See, if you gonna get all up in people's business (which may well be necessary in this case) this is how you do it. With respect. And damned if it doesn't support everyone:
You ducking child support? You shouldn't — fathers count.
You denying your ex's visitation rights? You shouldn't — fathers count.
