Already illegal in Missouri for pregnant women to divorce their spouse
Actually? That's so disgusting
Not really, but it's more about child custody and child support if already married.

Nowhere in Missouri law does it say pregnant women are barred from getting divorced.
But a judge handling a case where one party is pregnant may wait to finalize that divorce until the baby is born, which, experts told us, is done in order to consolidate custody and child-support agreements with other end-of-marriage arrangements.
This can happen in other states, too.
Still dangerous because the husband is empowered to make medical decisions in certain cases
Holy shit. That's some dystopian nightmare
