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.

    Holy shit. Apparently a lot of places don’t do it there and will tell people to do it themselves a couple days before (not sure if it’s practice to practice, doctor’s preference, or what) but I’ve never heard of anyone just doing a vasectomy on hairy skin. That suuuucks.
