Republican Bill Would Require Biological Fathers to Pay Child Support for Unborn Babies in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is considering a bill that would amend child support obligations to include financial assistance from biological fathers during pregnancy.

On December 12, Pennsylvania Representative Seth M. Grove (R-York County) introduced House Bill 2190, known as the "unborn child support" bill.

The legislation seeks to provide prenatal financial support from fathers to mothers, starting from the first medical visit during pregnancy, WTAJ reported.

"Providing the necessary financial support to a child from conception through age 18 is paramount to ensuring that the child's basic needs are covered," the bill reads.

House Bill 2190 is currently under consideration in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. If passed, it would allow biological mothers to petition the court for child support from the father during the prenatal period.

"In the near future, I intend to introduce legislation that would allow the courts to establish unborn child support obligations for the time period during pregnancy. My legislation will allow a biological mother to petition the court to establish support from the biological father that would start on the date of the first prenatal medical visit of the mother by a physician," the bill reads.

From conception through late-term abortion.

I guess as a single male who does not have kids nor any intention of having kids, but who currently pays for a multitude of other people's kids, I can't really feel strongly opposed to this.

I guess it would make more sense just to force marriages. But that would be acknowledging there is some importance in the family unit in some way, which government will not do.

Men should be the ones cutting off women.

Well it might give men pause as to who and why they are in the position to make a baby. Men do need to take more responsibility in this regard sorry guys you need to realize what is causing pregnancy. It will be interesting to see if the bill passes.

It will be ripe for abuse if not written properly. The only way such a law would be effective is for it to require verified proof of current pregnancy somehow, contain severe penalties for any female who abuses the law (faking pregnancy or being "serially pregnant", for example) and require repayment to the male if miscarriage or abortion occurs. Otherwise there will be plenty of scammers, "serially pregnant for 9 months of free cash" abusers and lord knows what else people can cook up.

There's also some legal hurdles regarding treating an unborn child as essentially a ward of the state prior to it even being born. Do remember that it is the birth certificate that conveys "ward of the state" status of a newborn to the state, thus granting the state authority/jurisdiction to oversee the raising of the child, in matters such as child support and social services enforcement. If child isn't born yet then there is no birth certificate and therefore no legal jurisdiction established yet. OTOH, anyone who took the DNA altering vaxes is already considered legally to be a "gmo product/property", not a human, so it stands to reason that the child is also a product/property since its own DNA is probably gmo altered by default as well.
