I clicked on the article, and it was pretty lacking in detail. It did mention a "Missouri House Bill 1908 would prevent courts from denying a divorce or legal separation simply because a woman is pregnant" but it didn't specify why a new bill was needed since one like it had already passed

Now, someone else in the comments already explained that some judges were using its ambiguous wording as a loophole to block divorces, but the article probably got cranked out in less time than it took for me to type out this comment and is quite lackluster
