Imagine if Texas did this to stop abortions...

I watched a segment on Morning Joe this morning with Steve Rattner. Rattner was comparing how little the US spends on social spending vs. other countries. The most amazing statistic was on average we spend only $500 of federal money on kids in the US during the first 3 years of life. What is Texas offered that $10,000 bounty they are willing to pay to report attempted abortions to the moms so they could actually afford to have a child and feed it?

I'd like to hear Abbott's answer, although we know what it would be. The truth is that they don't give a shit about children, they only care about fetuses.

of the repug (fascist) party is selfishness. And carved below selfishness on that stone is the phrase "I have mine. Fuck the rest of you.".
