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.

    Ffs, they have a choice to have sex, sex carries risk. Grow up, use a condom and accept the reality that if you take the risk you take the responsibility. Biology isn’t fair and the woman has a choice due entirely to biology.

      I guarantee this has been said word for word during a protest outside of an abortion clinic.
