'Bout time, but what if the pregnant woman wants to be left alone?

Arkansas has been that way for a while now. I think its only fair

i'm all for a man having to take care of his kids but has anyone ever seen the Maury show where they have tested 15 men to find out who farthered a baby and still never found the right one , it seems to me that a test would be needed first before anyone could told they couldn't leave .

HB 5882 actually makes it a crime for a man to "change or attempt to change an existing housing or cohabitation arrangement" with a pregnant significant other, to "file or attempt to file for a divorce" from his pregnant wife, or to "withdraw or attempt to withdraw financial support" from a woman who he has been supporting, if it is determined that the man is doing these things to try to pressure the woman to terminate her pregnancy.

So by this, I assume that anyone can leave. You just can't pressure her into getting an abortion. Which I agree with, but you cannot tell the man that he isn't allowed to leave because she is pregnant. That would never hold up in court. Hell, the woman can run off and get an abortion and never tell the father about it, he has no say in that.
