You could announce a cut off date in advance and and anyone who was pregnant at that date would still qualify--after that tough. That IS the way it used to be. Somehow the country survived and a lot more women were married. Whether that is a good thing or not in one's eyes depends on one's values.

<<<Mom receives free formula from the government, which she sells and uses the money to buy cigarettes ... >>> Do you actually know some woman who does this or did you hear about this second, third, fourth, or fifth hand. Or maybe you just made this up. My point is we are perpetuating this Ronald Reagen myth about the welfare queen living in luxury. RW organizations should put up some money to do an honest study to track how welfare recipients spend their largesse instead of having to make up stuff. They could then at least cite some studies about welfare abuse and then lobby to end the waste. Otherwise, I am suspicious of all this anti welfare stuff.
