    The courts would not know what to do with this. You need to either have verified paternity or be acting in a fatherly role to be on the hook for child support. You can’t fulfill either conditions on conception.

    They could just establish paternity post-birth and force the father to pay retroactively. That’s pretty much what already happens now. Only difference is that the dad would just be on the hook for an additional 9 months in back child support, most of which will likely go uncollected.
