Alternative title	Interim study report
Authors	Pittman, Anastasia. Peterson, Pam. Oklahoma. Legislature. House of Representatives. Human Services Committee.

Publication Date	2011-10-25
Publication type	Interim Study
Subject	Fetal death--Oklahoma--Prevention. Paternity--Oklahoma. Teenagers--Health risk assessment--Oklahoma.
Purpose	The Interim Study will assess ways to lessen the rate of ‘abortion by economic necessity’ legally requiring shared parenting of a fetus and to initiate the child support collections process for the non gestating parent prenatally.; The study will examine the possible need to broaden existing Oklahoma child protection statutes to provide for infants in utero; specifically, a requirement of the paternal parent for physical, emotional and material support from the month of conception.; The study will examine the latest methods for early determination of pregnancy and paternity, processes for legal declaration of paternity, retroactive payment of fetal child support, refining definitions for abuse and neglect of an infant in utero, penalties and their applications for abuse and neglect of an infant in utero, etc.; Economic conditions jeopardize funding for family planning, WIC and other children’s health programs. Each year, dead beat dads force the state of Oklahoma and single mothers to cover prenatal and post partum costs for many children at fetus- child and infant- child stages of development, respectively. To make child neglect/abuse laws applicable early in a pregnancy, and shared parental sacrifice, to include financial support from the month of conception, will save tax dollars, ease the burden on mothers, and possibly save the life of a child.
