But according to another thread, a girl might be induced to pregnancy for a bag of potato chips.

It will be interesting if some of the girls get abortions. Will they then get their $1 or not?

You can’t even buy a Diet Coke with a dollar. What kind of incentive is that?

God bless Hazel Brown. But she had better stick to nursing.

This won’t work.

Keeping your knees together might.

So they get a dollar a day until they get pregnant?
Plus free condoms.

If they start this program at the age of 13, then 30/mo x 12 = 360 x 10 years = $3600. That’s a nice b-day present at 23. However, $10.00 a day would be a whole lot better. $36,000 would be a great b-day present at 23.

What a joke! Child support, welfare, food stamps, and WIC coupons pay a hell of a lot more than $1 per day!

So what happens when a girl enrolled in this program gets pregnant? Does the state get a refund?
This idea reaks of fail. As has already been brought up, what do we pay kids not to do next?
