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.

    Mine told me not to. Had a decent looking nurse take care of it beforehand. It was an odd, but not terrible experience.

          I get it. My ass doctor is one of the prettiest people I have ever seen. The day she had to check for hemorrhoids inside me, she was being shadowed by a young doctor, also one of the prettiest women I have ever seen.

          I think everybody gets a bit uncomfortable when a pretty person sees intimate parts of us in ways we have never seen ourselves.

          I don’t think we should shame men for discussing their experiences in the medical world. It is already hard enough to get men into the doctor in the first place, and I think most women also have experienced being in the position of finding doctors attractive and that making the experience more uncomfortable.
