Confused? I sure am, So 3 women, he splits his time with two, and there is a third woman seeking more support. So we are talking six children by 3 women. I hope there was a reasonable amount of time between the kids, but what are the odds. You have to wonder if he thought about this scenario when he authored the bill?. Ironically he head the states child welfare committee.
