In reply to the discussion: GOP bills would give expectant parents tax credit on fetus [View all]davsand
(13,421 posts)56. You'd owe back taxes! With PENALTIES!!!
Because everybody knows pregnancy loss is not trauma enough without the fundy freaks inserting themselves into it. They'll want to create a board to determine if the mother did, in fact, do all she could to prevent that pregnancy loss. If the Pregnancy Police determined the mother was at fault--let's say she had some medical issue--then those "parental wanna-bes" would need to pay the taxes owed, PLUS an appropriate level of fines.
Intended as but just creepy enough that it might be real...

I believe this will run into the same Constitutional roadblocks as other "personhood" bills.
