PP here. I don't like the term or use it either. Nonetheless, there is often a stigma attached to the birth of children out of wedlock or whatever term you choose to use. Paternity may need to be established through testing. It's unfair to the child. |
Hilarious. Stigma by whom? Many well to do women have kids without husbands. No one gives a rat's azz if they are "born out of wedlock". |
I'm glad you haven't encountered the associated prejudice. |
If the current "father" is an abusive deadbeat scumbag she should have every right to seek out someone else to help her parent the child. |
NP. You are ok with women being beaten by their husbands? Or staying with their husbands if they cheat on them? What if the woman is pregnant with a child that is not her husband’s? There are so many scenarios where this law is really bad. The government should not be in people’s personal lives, they’re often messy! |
Look I am all for a two adult household but forcing couples to remain in an unloving relationship is really bad for their kids. |
Uhm, it is 2024. We no longer believe infants should be stamped "illegitimate" because of their parents' actions. Lose that word, it is extremely dated. |
We are not living in some convent in 1950. NO ONE uses that term (which you DID use). No one asks a person they meet for the dates on their parents' marriage license. Keep up. |
Those Republicans are never about the facts:
https://www.marchofdimes.org/find-support/top...use-during-pregnancy How can ANYONE reading those want to associate with this party. Really, to pay less taxes? That is so craven. |
So there are no exceptions to this?
When I was getting divorced in Virginia, my understanding that the 1 year waiting period was in order to ensure any “pending” babies were born prior to the divorce date. Which is silly and antiquated, though exceptions can be made in cases of abuse, etc. |
Every woman and girl deserves the right to control her own body. |
What evidence do you have about the bank accounts? I cannot find anything via google. |
Wouldn't that law also mean that men cannot divorce their pregnant wives either? And presumably cannot escape their obligations to support a pregnant wife? |
