    Here in Canada, I remember as a child in the sixties hearing my mom say from time to time how thankful she was to receive monthly child subsidies. The amounts were small, but they paid for our shoes and clothing. There's a big big difference between children who grow up with enough food and clothing to keep them fed and warm; and those who grow up without. Governments, and society at large, reap multiple returns for such an investment.

After fighting and scraping things to together for millenias to achieve a point where poor can be helped and children kept fed without any problem, there comes a man who thinks the 'cave times were better'....

      Grew up in Canada as well. Born in 1983.....we had a thing my mom called 'baby bonus', which also was realatively small, like up to 80.00 i think. It was a good gap filler and helped with groceries, school supplies (or fees for field trips and things) and clothes. Growing up really poor, that baby bonus sometimes was the difference between eating or not eating.

      I think that part was spoken by Judge Tanya Chutkan (another fine black jurist) a couple of weeks earlier, as she refused to stop the release of T's documents to the Select Committee: “Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President." Judge Jackson later echoed that opinion in response to T's claim of immunity for former WH Counsel Don McGahn.

      THIS is exactly why they are losing voters...
      the hypocrisy of the GOP on this point and so many others, in my view, is why I and so many other swing voters cannot support their candidates. They continually try to *both sides* so many issues and reject any reasonable solutions to the point where we are stagnating /or losing ground every day. Instead of helping the country move forward to a more perfect union, the goal seems to be regression to a time that never was and never can be. Where it leads will be determined in the next decade. There is no guarantee that this cabal of intentional ineptitude will not cause the demise of our nation. But those of us who are paying attention have rejected their message and THAT is why so-called red states (which are really purple) went blue in 2020 and why so many others were closer than their legislators liked.

      ​@@bigverybadtom so is your point is that even if a teen/minor/child makes a mistake, even if an adult is an instigator and/or participant in the mistake, the onus is on the minor/child/teen (and their family if they are lucky enough to have that support) to carry the burden for the rest of her life while society and the adults who are charged with protecting said minor child (according to the implicit social contract of civilization) have no responsibility at all?
      But this same person (and their family) also has no right to make a choice in her favor until 9 months after the original so-called foolish choice?
      Because the original comment was about the hypocrisy of not allowing a choice to a person and then claiming no responsibility to alleviate any of the burdens incurred by the lack of choice or by making a choice that would actually align with so-called GOP values.
      My opinion is that if you want to stop abortion, then stop making it so difficult for people to support themselves and their children.
      I don't like abortion, but I don't think I have any right to tell anyone else they can't choose or even consider that path for themselves. I have seen too many neglected, abandoned, orphaned, and abused children.
      to say you are protecting unborn children and then claim no need to protect born children IMO is hypocrisy.

      The most horrifying part to that Texas law is there's a FOUR YEAR statute of limitations for suing someone over it!!! (Just read it.)
      Nightmare scenarios coming: Man and woman decide on an abortion together (or he forces her into one.)
      Three years later, woman is sick of the man's drug habit or drinking or abuse (whatever) and she wants a divorce. Spiteful husband (or addict or abuser) sues her for the abortion claiming he didn't know until now or that he tried to make her stop but she refused.
      Now he claims emotional damage.
      She winds up paying him 10k.
      Or he can refuse to pay child support on any kids they DO have under threat of suing her for that early abortion.
      There are many other of these type scenarios.
      Texas made it open season on women in SO many more ways than "just" abortion.

      Not only that. Life cannot be predicted and planned accordingly.
      For example, you can be financially secure today and get pregnant and tomorrow suffer an accident, your husband leave you cause doesn’t want to deal with the stress, and pretty much the woman end up needing extended care.
      Who will provide for all the needs for that child and that woman? The government? Yes, there is child support but don’t expect that it will cover all the expenses.
      Therefore, forcing someone to have a child it is an abuse.

      Thaťs just common sense in most places. Civil servants have a retirement age to avoid exactly the kind of shenanigans the US goes through. There was even a campaign for this man to retire so JB would get to nominate someone, thaťs crazy.

    And then there’s the irony of Ron Johnson’s opinion that women have no reproductive rights when it comes to choosing not to bring a child she would not be able to financially support into the world. Where, pray tell, does this place exist where every single child who is born was intentionally wanted and planned for and whose parents became and remained financially able to care for it regardless of any economic or health obstacles put in their way? The sooner the cruel and criminal empty suit that is Ron Johnson is put away, the better.

      @@michaeljohnangel6359 Indeed, we are seeing that fatal flaw played out now, and I don't see any remedy for it. Brainwashed is brainwashed, and it looks like brainwashed has hit critical mass (a "tipping point," as Malcolm Gladwell would say).
      Your theory makes some logical sense, but I agree that in practice the potential for corruption is high.
      If I ruled the world (or the country) with a magic wand, I would reverse Citizens United , shut down the propaganda machines (FCC returns to enforcing media rules regarding false advertising and balanced news), impose term limits for all elected offices, require social platforms to be run as regulated utilities, prohibit elected officials from trading on the stock market, get assault weapons off the streets (and require background checks for gun licenses and a national registry of gun owners), lock up every insurrectionist, and expand the number of seats on the Supreme Court.
