One of the proposed legislative amendments to the ban asked that fathers start paying child support at 15 weeks — as soon as abortion is no longer an option under the law for mothers carrying their child.
If the paternity of the unborn child is contested, the child support and back payments wouldn’t be enforced by courts until “the biological father was confirmed,” News Channel 8 reports.
Proposed by Tina Scott Polsky [Democrat-Plam Beach], the amendment also includes health insurance coverage for the expectant mother during their pregnancy and related postpartum care needs, the outlet detailed.
Notably, another local news source highlighted that Polsky’s legislative addition to the abortion ban failed to be adopted.
