If you don't have medical insurance the entire process is expensive. Most people do have medical insurance (either full coverage or a deductible) to cover pregnancy - doctor's appointments, scans, prescriptions, delivery and hospital stay. Of course you will have some out of pocket expenses, which will be tax deductible.
We do have medical insurance. We pay an insane amount of money every year for it. The hospital bill after insurance was thousands of dollars.
Linking to one tax loophole to support another? How does that make sense. I thought we wanted to get rid of all these tax loopholes.
I don't recall saying anything of the sort. You must have me confused with somebody else.
There are a handful of tax credits that make a ton of sense. Then there's a long list that need to be tossed. A tax credit low-water use toilets seems awfully silly to me but I work in a building that has them and the company gets a tax break for it.
They are actually trying to establish full personhood so they can eventually outlaw abortions all together. You give a fetus a tax credit then it must be a person. Can't be aborting those "people" now that the law has recognized them as being qualified for a tax deduction.
If they would ever so kindly remove the boot-heel from our collective throats then dumping all tax deductions would be fine and dandy. But taxes keep going up so ...
A tax credit for a corporate jet is a lot more ridiculous that a tax credit for having children.

Not the least one bit. Their both equally ridiculous and unnecessary.
HB 5684 and 5685 give tax credit for fetuses past 12 weeks gestation, would cost taxpayers up to $10 MILLION
LANSING - Today Lansing Republicans held a hearing on House Bills 5684 and 5685 in the Tax Policy Committee, which would give a tax credit for unborn fetuses past 12 weeks of gestation. After Lansing Republicans eliminated a state tax credit for parents with children last year, these bills would send a clear message to parents that “your kids don’t count.” The nonpartisan House Fiscal Agency estimates that the bills will cost taxpayers $5-10 MILLION on an annual basis.
Sadly my status line is the repug platform.
Love the fetus, hate the child.
