Every life deserves recognition, and this tax credit is a step in valuing each one—even those we lose too soon.

This seems reasonable, balancing empathy with economic policy, but let's not forget the living children who need our support as well.

It's nice to see empathy in tax codes, but how about addressing maternal health more broadly, too?

Sure, let's give a tax credit for stillbirths, but what about expanding healthcare to prevent them in the first place?

A small, compassionate step for grieving parents, but let's ensure it doesn't distract from broader fiscal responsibilities.

Recognizing life in the womb with a tax credit? It's about time we offer families some relief.

Finally, a step toward acknowledging the heartbreaking realities families face—if only financial support for living children were as generous!

I suppose amending tax codes to recognize stillbirths is fine, but it feels a bit like a band-aid on a larger issue.
