But my guess is it would never actually be paid regardless. It's a dangling carrot to encourage pregnancy, the subsequent stick being "you don't get it because blah, blah, blah small print, what'ya gonna do about it now?".
Moreover, 5k is peanuts in the overall cost or raising a kid.
And God forbid the woman miscarries in an anti abortion state, not only does she suffer the loss of her baby, and hopefully not her life if she can get proper care, but she most likely will be criminally charged. To top that off, she won't get her 5k.
If you really want to support women and families, try funding prenatal care, paid maternity and paternity leave, and accessible childcare. $5K doesn’t even cover a birth in most states. Real pro-life policies actually support life after birth.
But we know they don’t give a shit about life after birth, not for the majority anyway. The only people who will be tempted by $5k will be those who can’t afford it anyway, whose children will grow up with limited education, limited healthcare and limited opportunities. That’s what they want.
It should be a minimum monthly check of at least $1000, every month until the child turns 18. That’s still only a fraction of what it costs to live in America, but it’s what should be given to new mothers.
I was doing my taxes this year and read that the state of Georgia child credit can be claimed for an unborn child. Even if you miscarry you can claim it for the year.
Does the proposal restrict any races from payoff? Costs a BOATLOAD more than 5,000, with no health care, public schools, or results of medical research!
When did he announce this? I hope everyone understands he may pay one or two ppl but then he’ll stop paying if enough ppl have babies. Just another scam. We do not need more f’ing maga babies.
$5,000 is nothing won’t pay the hospital, doctor, maternity care, after, care, diapers, formula, daycare, medical care, car seats, strollers, and that’s a healthy baby. And republicans always yell about the hand outs no socialized programs this sound like it’s a socialized government program.
$250,000 is the sum to be paid to raise a healthy child till 18 years old plus mom’s free labor. GOP just doesn’t understand that love is the real ingredient.
In the state I live in they expect you to pay child support if a woman says she's pregnant with your child. Because they're inching toward fetal personhood.
I'll choose my words nicely here.
What a ridiculous meme. Are you a troll?
Birth creates legal status. Last I checked, they dont give SSNs to ultrasounds. I wont leave this issue to you people, you cant even define what a woman is.

Republicans killed it.

Almost as if for most of human history people had a commonsense notion that life begins at birth. Huh.
Sick
Someone should inform this brainiac that -
Maternity care/birth costs on average $18,865
Post birth to high school $233,610-$310,605
College is anyone's guess.
But I'm sure 47's promise of $5k gifted by taxpayers will convince many👌
Also how is this not an “entitlement” in Trump’s eyes?
They can go to hell in a hand basket.
