41. Life is cheap in trumps domain.
Tue Jun 10, 2025, 09:23 AM

$1000 is nothing compared with what it takes to birth a child... let alone raise it. But I'll bet groups like Quiverfull are salivating over the thought. People should start suing the government for death dismemberment and pain and suffering to the mother of an unwanted child, or when the pregnancy goes wrong as well as lifetime payments for disabled children born since RvW was nullified. Make the life of the living breathing mother worth more than a clump of non sentient cells.
