Mommies Rule The World

This weekend #ShoutYourAbortion started trending on Twitter. It might make you wince at first, but the reason behind it is an attempt to change the way society talks about abortion…

On Friday, in an undoubtedly pro-life move, the US House of Representatives voted to suspend federal funding for Planned Parenthood – the organisation that carries out most abortion procedures in the USA.

Shocked by this result, writers Amelia Bonow and Lindy West took to social media to try and make a change in the way the public perceive abortion.

Amelia, who has previously had an abortion via Planned Parenthood, argued:

“Plenty of people still believe that on some level – if you are a good woman – abortion is a choice which should be accompanied by some level of sadness, shame or regret. But you know what? I have a good heart and abortion made me happy.”

Using the #ShoutYourAbortion, Lindy tweeted Amelia’s story and her own. encouraging other women to do the same:

Attention, nursing mamas! It now pays to breastfeed your little ones in more ways than one. In addition to it being a great way to feed your baby, thanks to the IRS, you will be able to write off the cost of breast pumps and nursing supplies as medical deductions. That’s fantastic news!

The American Academy of Pediatrics has been pushing for this tax code change for a very long time. When things like vasectomies and weight-loss programs are considered allowable medical expenses, one has to wonder why lactation supplies and things that promote and support breastfeeding have gone without consideration for so long. In other words, it’s about time!
“For years, the AAP has been urging the IRS to recognize that breast milk is not just the best and most natural food for infants; it confers well-documented health benefits on both baby and mother that cannot be obtained any other way,” AAP said in a statement. “The IRS has finally acknowledged this medical fact, and we applaud them for changing their regulations accordingly.”

Now, the catch: in order to deduct such medical expenses, your costs have to exceed 10 percent of your adjusted gross income, but don’t fret. Crossing that threshold, especially in your baby’s first year of life, will come before you know it. Breast pumps and supplies can be incredibly expensive, not to mention trips to the pediatrician’s office, classes, and lactation workshops, and the other various prenatal and post-natal expenses can rack up pretty quickly.

Check out the IRS website for more information and talk to your financial adviser or tax person. Heck, talk to your mommy friends, too, and spread the word!
