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.
