Measure allows parent to seek child support up to a year after giving birth to retroactively cover pregnancy expenses
The Republican-led Kentucky senate voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to grant the right to collect child support for fetuses, advancing a bill that garnered bipartisan support despite nationwide fallout from a controversial Alabama decision also advancing “fetal personhood”.
The measure would allow a parent to seek child support up to a year after giving birth to retroactively cover pregnancy expenses. The legislation – Senate Bill 110 – won senate passage on a 36-2 vote with little discussion to advance to the House. Republicans have supermajorities in both chambers.
Use birth control and don't sleep with pro lifers.
No birth control works 100% and women can change their minds about how they feel about abortions, especially when it's their body.
you're not the pregnant one, it's pretty simple and the men whining about would be better served by demanding better birth control for men than trying to punish women.
What's your saying is men should have absolutely no say about a child who carries half of their DNA. We have no say involving abortion, we have little to no say in child support, and we have little to no say with regards to custody. And let's not pretend that their isn't a subsection of women who actively use their kids to punish the father. You can't scream about equality yet want to keep a inherently sexist system that gives the woman ALL the power when it comes to birth and child rearing. I'm pro choice but the idea that a woman gets to completely opt out of raising a child while a man simply has to bare whatever decision she makes with basically no say in it is bullshit.
