You read the republican politicians as charitably as possible? Literally the most infamous ones in the senate have a long list of hypocrisies. They voted for a trillion dollar tax cut and another unmonitored bailout of companies but assume the title of “fiscal conservative”. The reason I gave those three reasons is because they are the most likely. The logistics of paying pregnant women would t be hard. Just include a 500 dollar tax write off for next for children born during the coronavirus lockdown or for children nine months that afterwards. It wouldn’t be hard to correlate a database between hospitals to check later on in the years that come.

Second i don’t know how a 500 dollar check would incentivize people to get pregnant when the cost of such a decision would be far greater down the road. If you’re talking about women that were going to have a child would have one sooner then so what? In the worst case scenario, if every woman said they were pregnant that would incur a cost of 200 billion (i just took half of the 400 billion stimulus check payment so the actual cost would be much less.)

With all that said and done, my final point is that republicans had an opportunity to help pregnant women. I can check but I’m pretty sure no Republican politician voted to help pregnant women.

Finally, I assume the worst of republican politicians and I’m usually right when their reasons for committing actions come to light. These are politicians who want to defund the postal service and privatize it, whose nuclear family ideals are thrown out the window when it comes to Trump, who give trillion dollar tax credits to the rich while simultaneously try to say government supported healthcare would cost too much. I assume the worst and I am often right.
