[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps some terms you might understand: Those babies will be American citizens. It is in the taxpayers’ best interests to maximize good health. [/quote] Yes. If they are going to be born here, then the labor and delivery will be in hospitals anyway, because a woman in active labor cannot be turned away from emergency care (this is already federal law). A delivery where there is no prenatal care is an extraordinary role of the dice. These infants, if born here, are going to be US citizens after birth (that is also federal law). Bringing them into the world with significantly more poor outcomes is a greater stress on the system than providing adequate prenatal care. This does nto even have to be made on moral grounds -- an economic justification, purely about conserving resources, suffices. [/quote]
