Republicans propose tax credit for expecting mothers. Good.

If Reps. Luke Messer of Indiana and Reps. Mark Meadows of North Carolina get their way, expecting mothers could expect a check for their unborn baby. The pair of Republicans have introduced legislation that would expand the child tax credit to help cover the costs of pregnancy.

This comes shortly after Sens. Mike Lee of Utah and Marco Rubio of Florida managed to double the credit to $2,000 in the Republican tax bill. If passed, the expectant mothers tax credit would effectively double that number.
