Aid specifically targeted at food and nutrition for women and children. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIC
WIC is way overcomplicated for what it is. Just cut a check for the value of the goods you want to provide and be done with it. No excuse for the insane bloat and overhead associated with WIC.

#13Maternity healthcare in the US is one of the worst in the developed nations. And yet we're banning abortion, and doing nothing to fix it. Even WIC has came under attack in the past. Protecting the unborn is very convenient. They make no demands of you. Edit: WIC: Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) https://www.fns.usda.gov/wic
I understand that less abortions means more pregnancies to deal with but aren't they fundamentally separate issues. A health system needs to be able to deal with the load presented to it.

Are you under the assumption that your suggestion hasn't been tried (and subsequently found wanting)?

Food stamps was a different program, targeted at poor people more generally. It's now SNAP, and it does not require recipients to have children 1 in 6 American kids live in a household that receives SNAP benefits. I don't have the stats handy, but some large plurality of Americans receive SNAP benefits at some point during their lives.

Often SNAP is called "food stamps", but they're similar: https://www.benefits.gov/news/article/439
The Food Stamps program became SNAP. These are both distinct from WIC.
It is crucial that we have lots of programs with distinct eligibility criteria to make sure that poor people are suffering sufficiently.

The bloat and overhead is necessary to ensure that poor people suffer sufficiently and prove that they deserve to eat.
