Crazy Lib?

[Straw Man]

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich says Michigan should pay pregnant teenagers to take prenatal vitamins and stay healthy so the government avoids expensive costs when babies end up in neonatal intensive care units.

The Republican also told state senators Wednesday he supports paying poor children to read, and the state should consider paying girls to not get pregnant.

Gingrich is the founder of the Center for Health Transportation.

He says politicians and the media spend too much time focusing on the finances of health care. Gingrich says more attention must be paid to cultural changes such as requiring students to exercise, putting grocery stores in the inner city and incentivizing people to not smoke.

Haha.

Hey straw, lets pay people to be gay too. We can lower the birthrates AND support your agenda at the same time!

He did but I wasn't aware it was Newt who suggested it:

I didn't see Newton referenced anywhere in the quote

Pay pregnant teens to take vitamins

"States should pay pregnant teenagers to take prenatal vitamins and stay healthy so the government avoids expensive costs when babies end up in neonatal intensive care units."

Good head fake.  I probably shouldn't post when I'm working.  I'm always distracted.
