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.

    I forgot the name of the movement but some people think it’s abuse to have children. Mind you this was years before COVID and the current wars, maybe someone else remembers them.

        Most of the Americans I knew understood the reasoning behind it, but didn’t like the Chinese bullshit of killing off a female child so that they could have a male.
