New Law Proposed That Will Require Low Income Mothers To Do THIS According to recent reports, Representative Kim Hammer of Arkansas has just proposed a bill that would offer a contraception incentive to low-income single mothers participating in the states Medicaid program. The bill, HB 1868, calls for the state to pay for contraception for unmarried mothers of one child who are participating in Medicaid. Women would grant permission to have a surgically implanted device, like and IUD or Norplant, which would last for five years. The plan is designed to reduce the number of children that eventually become the burden of taxpayers. Often young people make decisions and they get a sense that they dont want to make that decision again for awhile, Hammer told Arkansas News. We need to give them a little bit of a breather to think about their life decisions that are affecting us as taxpayers. Hammer has often come under fire from Democrats and liberals for being a pro-life support, and the bill comes just weeks after former Republican Senator Russell Pearce resigned. Before doing so, he vowed he would make female recipients of Medicaid get Norplant, birth-control implants, or tubal litigations. This is just one of many efforts attempted at placing a cap on the number of children born to low-income mothers. These bills have seen push back from Democrats in the past, and many are expecting the same for this new proposal.
