[quote=Anonymous]I have a friend from a state that doesn’t allow pregnant women to be divorced who found out her DH was cheating on her and no longer wanted to be married to her or be a father early during her second trimester. He moved out of their home and moved in with his girlfriend. She couldn’t file for divorce until after the baby was born. It was pretty horrific for her, being stuck in that situation, unable to have any resolution, while her husband was shacked up with the other woman.

I’m not a fan of that law, because I’ve seen how women can be trapped by it. She has a career, money, and family nearby to help her out, but she was still trapped. I can only imagine how much more difficult it is for women who lack resources to be stuck in marriages they don’t want. It can be so much more different to leave when the baby is present. I can see how laws like this could protect women and children back when women were openly treated as inferior to men and earning a decent living as a single mom would’ve been practically impossible. I don’t see how this does anything to protect women now. [/quote]
