How much have you given to a pregnant woman in need today? [/quote]

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here, because but I'm the PP and I've been a regular supporter of the Partners in Health maternal health program for a decade.

I'm also a monthly donor to the Capital Area Food Bank if you want to discuss food programs.

I'd heavily encourage you to look into donating to both of those charities.

But donors like me (and hopefully you?) aren't going to be able to cover the gap here.  This will result in harm to babies and children in communities all over the US.[/quote]

The govt provides hundreds of billions to feed. On top of that, you mentioned donors so there’s more. 
The harm is keeping people reliable of handouts. [/quote]

"Those fetuses and babies, if we give them food, they'll get dependent on it" has to be one of thr worst takes I've ever seen.

The government actually saves a ton of money on WIC.  Every dollar spent on WIC saves $2-3 long term because giving kids proper nutrition prevents life long health issues.

Cutting WIC harms society and costs money.[/quote]

DP here but just chiming in to say you’re an actual idiot. Life expectancy for someone on government welfare is appallingly low, it’s not saving anyone’s life. You’re probably also the poster who wants 2 year olds eating Doritos on SNAP. [/quote]

OK now you are getting it. Doritos is owned by PepsoCo. If people get addicted to high calories processed foods, it pays off in the long run to Pepsi, Nestle, Unilever, Mars etc. Corporations don't yet own apples and carrots in the same way, so there's no need to fund that. [/quote]

This. The US is no longer about having a healthy workforce or fighting force, we are now owned by corporations who want to make the highest profit. If it doesn't profit the rich, no need to do it. [/quote]
