Missouri Rep. Ashley Aune, a Democrat who is up for reelection this year, said she wants to use the law to make it clear that divorces can be finalized even during pregnancy.

Aune said there are also men caught up in the policy, including cases where they’re stuck in a marriage to a wife who is pregnant by another man.

Aune said she’s been revising the exact language of the measure.

Rep. Bill Hardwick, chair of the House Emerging Issues Committee, where Aune’s bill was assigned, said he’s open to it but unsure whether it will be brought up for a vote.

“If you can keep someone perpetually pregnant, it has devastating consequences,” Aune said in an interview.
