Yay Utah!

This is so responsible. It should exist also for men who have many “baby mothers” yet married none of them. See how quickly they become responsible and wrap up (or better get vasectomies) when they have to pay to be serial impregnaters

That’s awesome! Really surprised to see it coming out of Utah lol

purasangria · 2021-04-09T13:10:46+00:00

Utah is mostly a misogynistic shithole, but even they got this right. If you support a woman's "right to choose," them you need to support men at least paying their fair share of pregnancy expenses.

He made his choice when he stuck his dick in. I'm tired of women being left holding the bag.

I want to be thrilled. I’m just terrified that the family law courts will twist this to somehow penalize women.

That’s how most of these changes have gone so far.

Slight less shitty situation than before. I am almost afraid to ask: Does this include Plan-B, abortion and contraception? Because these are absolutely related to pregnancy as well.

Utah recently did that bill blocking porn on phones. They killing it right now

I recently had a related conversation with a man I am seeing (one of a few red flags I'm afraid..): he was telling me about a real concern men, including him, had about women somehow tricking them by getting pregnant. I reacted STRONGLY to this.

Trick men ... for WHAT? You seriously don't need a phd to understand that women always bear the brunt of any pregnancy and child birth, wanted or unwanted, both physically and financially. I suspect it is not actually easy for women to "go after" the biological father of a child for equal financial participation in anything. This article confirms it - Utah the first state to legally obligate bio fathers to contribute to pregnancy costs? Infuriating in a country where health care is for the privileged.

We live in the US, but I am foreign. Does anyone have any more insight into what the legal situation in the states is in these matters? What would a women hypothetically have to gain by "tricking" a man (which opens another can of worms of course on who bears the responsibility of birth control)? I suspect in most cases it's not much more than a lifetime of frustration, but would appreciate some more data to back this up.

What if she doesn't want him to, though? If I were raped and carrying a child to term, that father better not know where I am or what I am doing.

I have strong feelings against forced maternity and forced paternity.

Abortion is still legal there but it is under attack.

Listen Up Scrotes. If you don't want kids. Closed Your LEGS. Your welcome.

Hikari3747 · 2021-04-09T13:31:59+00:00

Wow and it's only 2021! Took American long enough to start treating women like humens beings...Oh wait, it's just one state.

YesNoMaybe87 · 2021-04-09T14:40:50+00:00

I have been reading an array of disappointing comments on social media from men saying if that’s the law the they should then force women to carry and not terminate. What the actual fuck.

And the standard “women should keep their legs closed” comments

Throwawayrightaway28 · 2021-04-09T18:31:16+00:00

Now men are going to want to fight for abortion to be legal to nine months, no restriction. Hit their pockets and we get our rights

Bitter_Froyo_6742 · 2021-04-09T17:53:28+00:00

Utah has a lot of off the record polygamy, and a lot of those "single" mom's abuse the public assistance infrastructure. It's a huge issue there. This seems like it's a way to hold polygamists accountable for that without doing it directly (since that's tricky to do?). I'm sure they're very tired of picking up the tab on maternal healthcare.

QueenCrownn · 2021-04-09T14:02:27+00:00

Wow!!!

Muffcakelord · 2021-04-09T16:06:10+00:00

I'm actually shocked that this hasn't been the reality until now? For the whole damn world? Especially considering there's actual laws saying the father has just as much a say in childbirth as the mother.

Some good news at least. I hope this will spread

gutsandgorey · 2021-04-09T18:29:52+00:00

Oh no...now men will know how expensive it is to actually have a baby! These clowns really think they're funding a woman's "lifestyle" with their measly $400 a month.

christmasforoutlaws · 2021-04-09T13:35:47+00:00

Honestly? Utah as a homestead location doesn't sound so bad. 🤷🏻

Guuurrrl_okeehay · 2021-04-09T18:33:16+00:00

49 more states to go!

fairywakes · 2021-04-09T19:41:23+00:00

The type of 50/50 we were looking for. (It’s still not, I still have to push the fucker out of me apparently.)

Magnolia_Mirage · 2021-04-09T19:53:49+00:00

The mormon men are sweating

finally!

SearchLightsInc · 2021-04-09T22:22:47+00:00

This is misandry! /s

hologothic · 2021-04-09T21:19:50+00:00

I'm genuinely amazed it's Utah and not somewhere more stereotypically progressive like CA or NY. Even so, good on them!

AshlandSouth · 2021-04-09T22:22:42+00:00

Good news

discochicken87 · 2021-04-10T00:04:38+00:00

Should be 100% in states where women don't have easy legal access to abortion
