    Nice to do something that helps the child for once instead of just the fetus

    Now do free pregnancy care and baby food and then work your way up to child labor laws and free lunches then maybe do free college when you are not sure what to do next.

      Tn allows for free college already. It’s an associates degree but it’s free if you’re a resident.

        I’m fixing to use this program to go to college in the fall. Pretty psyched.

            Well since I’m going from professional caregiver into a medical degree, my bedside manner will continue to involve my folksy southern style of speech.

            So I’m fixin to go to school. Means “going to.”

    Sounds on-brand to me. it not like you’d expect them to double down on sex education or provide contraceptives.

    They’re telling you where their priorities are. Now Go Forth and Multiply.

      It’s really off brand for a red state though. Usually they tell post-birth humans to fuck off.

      Fuck, only now I realized that this is the replacement theory.

      They always confess during accusations, and it never clicked until now.

      This is what they were talking about, no mistake.

      Fuck.

      The cynicism here is hilarious. This is literal good news but no, it’s actually just further proof how shitty the republicans are.

        They are responsible for so many shitty laws and actions that when they do something objectively good, there’s no escaping the feeling that there’s some ulterior motives ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I was nearly born in Tennessee and my parents have some fucking horror stories from when they lived there. I’m shocked that out of all the states to start doing this it’s fucking Tennessee.

    Why not just have the state raise our kids for us and do away with parental responsibility all together!

        Maybe people would have more money if the government wasn’t taking it all away and giving it away to corporations.

          Most poor people pay effectively 0 income tax. The tax deals are for the rich

      If the state wants to force people to have kids, they have a responsibility to those kids.
