This is really borderline genius and I'm having trouble seeing how it could be refutable.
The fact that the above does not occur but the below does tells you everything you need to know about governments and plantations and slaves that breed for them.
Australia
The government of Andrew Fisher introduced a baby bonus of £5 per child in late 1912. The bonus was available irrespective of marital status and could also be received by husbands of women who died in childbirth. However, it was applicable only to mothers of European descent.
The baby bonus scheme introduced by the Federal Government of Australia in the 2002 budget was aimed at offsetting the expenses associated with bearing a child. The scheme was also introduced as a means of increasing Australia's fertility rate and to mitigate the effects of Australia's ageing population. In the 2004 budget the bonus was raised from $3,000 to $4,000 payable in 2007 but indexed to inflation so that in October 2007, the amount receivable per eligible child was $4,133. The bonus was paid in a lump sum to a nominated financial institution. From January 1, 2009 the payment is paid in 13 fortnightly installments. The receivable amount from January 2012 is $5,437.
The government of Australia will give a single mother (or a de facto 'single' mother ahem) so much fucking money over the course of that child's life, to blow on drugs or alcohol or facials and shit because the government hasn't heard of more targeted welfare expenditure than cash given for the child's welfare (ahem)...to suggest that 3 to 5k is to "offset the costs of bearing a child" is just...
Hundreds of thousands of dollars per child. Where is the sense in offering a little cash bonanza except to attract the sort of mothers who would have a baby for a $5000 cash hit. No question mark.
And abortion and suicide remain
borderline illegal. Assisting with euthanasia will send you straight to prison for any doc or nurse even periphially involved (I mean like they're not even allowed to give
advice).
