Measure allows parent to seek child support up to a year after giving birth to retroactively cover pregnancy expenses

The Republican-led Kentucky senate voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to grant the right to collect child support for fetuses, advancing a bill that garnered bipartisan support despite nationwide fallout from a controversial Alabama decision also advancing “fetal personhood”.

The measure would allow a parent to seek child support up to a year after giving birth to retroactively cover pregnancy expenses. The legislation – Senate Bill 110 – won senate passage on a 36-2 vote with little discussion to advance to the House. Republicans have supermajorities in both chambers.

Mine told me not to. Had a decent looking nurse take care of it beforehand. It was an odd, but not terrible experience.

Why would you feel the need to comment on the nurse's appearance ??

You ever had an ugly nurse shave your balls? Listen, this is a big deal.

I get it. My ass doctor is one of the prettiest people I have ever seen. The day she had to check for hemorrhoids inside me, she was being shadowed by a young doctor, also one of the prettiest women I have ever seen.

I think everybody gets a bit uncomfortable when a pretty person sees intimate parts of us in ways we have never seen ourselves.

I don't think we should shame men for discussing their experiences in the medical world. It is already hard enough to get men into the doctor in the first place, and I think most women also have experienced being in the position of finding doctors attractive and that making the experience more uncomfortable.
