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.
Strongly disagree. Your position is that the current age-bearing demographic forego the experience of having children?
I don’t think this is sarcasm but maybe I’m eating the onion?
No civilized and intelligent being should enjoy bearing offspring as we currently do, anyway.
If the instinct alone is enough to overcome their reasoning, then they are not truly mature.
I think there’s likely some zeitgeist in play here that younger generations know they can’t afford kids. And I also imagine there’s animosity there. While having kids isn’t a prerequisite for personal joy (to each their own) it’s often a tremendously enjoyable experience. So who should they turn to for being put in this situation: the generation that should really skip having kids, sorry….
Now, when I walk around stores on my day off and see homeschoolers with 5 kids I can agree with this sentiment: that feels stupidly selfish and excessive.
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.
Do you recall American sentiment on China’s 35 year long One Child Policy?
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.
