Georgia Anti-abortion Law Allows Tax Deductions for Fetuses

3rd August 2022

Read it.

This is truly silly. The purpose of allowing a deduction for children on taxes is that children require support, which involves extra expenditure and (like the corresponding tax credit) the government gives people a break. Certainly pregnancy involves a bit of extra expense but nothing like what a born child would cost.

On the other hand, I love seeing people able to deduct stuff from their taxable income and thereby reduce the amount the government is allowed to confiscate. And I suppose any economic incentive for women to carry their children to term rather than kill them is a good thing.
