On Wednesday, a group of Republicans led by Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., and Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., proposed bicameral legislation called the Unborn Child Support Act, which would allow expecting mothers to collect child support payments while they are pregnant.
"Caring for the well-being of our children begins long before a baby is born," Cramer said in a statement announcing the proposal. "It begins at the first moment of life – conception – and fathers have obligations, financial and otherwise, during pregnancy. Mothers should be able to access child support payments as soon as she is supporting a child. Our bill makes this possible."
