$1,500 is still poverty...

It could easily be enough to lift someone out of it.

Anyway, don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

They should pay for free birth control as well.

Many many insurance plans provide free birth control for women and pretty much any planned parenthood gives out free contraceptives for both men and women.

Its 1500$ per month of pregnancy or 1500$ when you get pregnant then 500$ per month.

I feel like there’s some unnecessary editorializing being done in the headline.

“Pays” is such a weird way of saying “providing a minimum of after-natal care for people that society generally doesn’t care about.” Sounds like a roundabout way of referencing the mythical “welfare queens.”
