Bill overview
This bill, the Supporting Healthy Pregnancy Act, amends Social Security law to require biological fathers to contribute to the cost of medical expenses incurred during a mother’s pregnancy and childbirth. Specifically, it mandates that states establish a child support obligation for fathers to cover at least 50% of reasonable out-of-pocket medical costs related to the pregnancy and delivery. The bill also clarifies that expenses related to abortion are not considered medical expenses and defines the term ‘abortion’ for legal purposes. It includes a delay mechanism for states needing legislative changes to comply.
