They are currently readying the bill for presentation to the full House. Nothing is likely to ever come of it, but Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Virginia) insists that it is not a waste of time because they are creating jobs. Yes, that's right. According to Republicans, forcing women to have children they don't want and/or can't afford is a jobs bill.
It is "very, very true that having a growing population and having new children brought into the world is not harmful to job creation. It very much promotes job creation for all the care and services and so on that need to be provided by a lot of people to raise children."
Well, at least they didn't try to sell it as a wonderful way for the the "little woman" to find fulfillment and meaningful and appropriate employment as a minimum wage child care worker while leaving "real" jobs open and available for manly and more capable men. Maybe that will be next week's sound byte.
