State representative Ashley Aune is trying to fight it, but doesn’t have high hopes.

Something you might have picked up on over the last several weeks/years/centuries is that there are a disturbing number of people in power who will go to great lengths to control women in America. Not convinced? Thinking of citing the fact that in some countries, women are stoned to death (as though that makes what happens here okay)? Then we’d like to make you aware of a law in Missouri that says pregnant women cannot get a divorce finalized if they’re pregnant—even if said pregnant people are victims of domestic violence.

    Yeah. Go ahead and explain how? Go ahead and say why people need to get divorced over a 9 month or less period. Explain how it hurts women more than men or vice versa.

      Explain why getting divorced less than nine months earlier changes a single thing, you brainless twit.

      Or, how about citing one example of this preventing a man from filing divorce. Just one will do.

        I did explain what it changes. Getting divorced means the man loses his child until he can force a paternity test through the court system.

          I think the points you are making are fair. Interesting that you are getting so many downvotes. 🤔

            Lemmy/reddit swings hard on hive mind and is very black and white on topics. Anything to appear anti lgbtq or against minorities or women’s life just gets an automatic “bad”.

            But yeah. Being married doesn’t really do all that much. You don’t need a husband’s permission to do anything on your own anymore. The only reason a pregnant woman has to get a divorce while pregnant is to make it hard on the husband to have parental rights.
