Fathers in Utah are now legally obliged to pay half the cost of a mother s medical care related to pregnancy and delivery.
Supporters of the law - which is thought to be the first of its kind in the US - say it will help alleviate the financial burden of motherhood for American women.
The legislation passed with bipartisan support - but it raises questions about the cost of parenting in the US, as well as the state s growing roster of anti-abortion legislation.
What does the law say?
Utah s Shared Medical Costs law requires biological fathers to pay half of a mother s insurance premiums - her monthly health insurance costs - during pregnancy as well as all other related medical fees, including the birth of the child.

Biological fathers will soon be required to pay half of a woman s pregnancy-related medical costs under a new Utah law that advocates believe to be the first of its kind in the United States.
The law requires the biological father to pay 50% of a pregnant woman s out-of-pocket medical costs, including health insurance premiums and hospital birth. It was signed by Republican Utah Gov. Spencer Cox last month and will take effect on May 5.

A new law in Utah aims to increase the responsibility for biological fathers by requiring them to pay half of the out-of-pocket expenses related to pregnancy and childbirth.
Republican Governor Spencer Cox signed H.B. 113 into law last month, revising the Utah Child Support Act and in an attempt to bring fairness to the funding of pregnancies.
The bill s sponsor, state Rep. Brady Brammer (R) and state Sen. Daniel McCay (R) said the measure will ensure that pregnancy expenses are shared by both parties involved, according to The Daily Wire.
McCay pointed out that the measure provides some equity to the funding of pregnancies and share in that burden and (to recognize) the important role that the mother and the father play in the pregnancy.
