There have been so many topics of
discussion come up this week and so little time to write about them,
but let's go ahead and talk about one that really goes above and beyond
in the “right-wing nut-job” department. State legislators in
Michigan are considering giving a tax credit for unborn fetuses who
are past 12 weeks in gestation. What makes this a really odd gesture
is the fact that the same legislature took away the child tax credit
for families last year that had living breathing kids in their
households. Basically parents can't take a tax break for kids that
are already born, but fetuses are worthy of that tax break.
