I'm gonna be that guy: if you can't handle an unexpected $1k bill, even by putting it on credit or setting a payment plan, you can't afford to be having a kid.
More on topic, if $960 is the full cost out of pocket for the whole delivery process, that seems pretty cheap to me. (Really healthcare should be socialized, but we're not there yet.)
a lot more than $1k
...
from this kff study
Shame ppl are against bc and are forced birthers. 17$ a month I pay for bc way cheaper than kid.
Right! Not only can rapist in red states pick the mother of their child. They now stick them with the hospital bills.... I mean that's always been the case in pro rapist states but they are making it official now.
Women ask for it just by showing ankle. -worst humans on the planet
Would be a shame I'd something terrible happened to them. I certainly would not say guilty if I was juror because murder implies they are better than a mosquito.
$1,000 to give birth is just the start of the payment process to having a child
Last I read, on average to raise a child with the most basic requirements to give it a decent life in North America to the age of 18, the estimate was about $200,000 - $300,000 .... that was about 20 years ago I read that, it's probably way more now.
take that dumb poor morons with clearly planned pregnancies!
Which is also why we should socialize sex ed, birth control, and abortions. They're all part of healthcare.
Someone better let the "your body, my choice" crowd know.
Oh wait, they'll be able to get out of child support now.
