The benefit is it gives more control over women which is what these room temp IQ right leaning voters want

But even then, it's not a particularly meaningful amount of control. It just delays divorce by a few months, and even then doesn't prohibit separating until the final paperwork can be signed. Even if they try to take it that far, there are so many ways around any would-be laws to prevent that that unless they outright ban couples from leaving the house if the woman is pregnant (which I can't imagine would ever stand up to any challenges in higher court, even with the fascism-loving suite of judges currently filling it), it would be immediately loopholed into obsolescence. And for those that don't resort to loopholes to separate prematurely, it's still just a few months.

Like, I get that these are people who routinely whack it to the idea of abuse victims not being able to escape, and that's an inevitable consequence of a law like this, but even in that regard this isn't going to achieve much because the victims can still flee.
