For parents of young kids, diapers present both a necessity and a constant cost. There’s not much Norah Weinstein can do about the first part, but she’d like to ease the impact of the second.
Diaper affordability has proved to be a popular issue in California. Assembly members voted overwhelmingly in favor of legislation to end the sales tax on diapers and to create a $50 monthly welfare diaper stipend for working parents. The issue has also gotten attention in Washington, with President Barack Obama penning a Mother’s Day missive calling for the private sector to help promote diaper access and Obama adviser Cecilia Muñoz spotlighting the issue.

Diaper Advocate.......BWAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!
As a fifth generation native of my colonized home San Francisco, you bet I do.
Get a clue. You can use washable diapers as generations of mothers have. I had 9 doz. cloth diapers for 4 kids. They make great rags and polishing cloths afterwards. And the kids get potty trained quicker because they can feel when they are wet. I cried when the last one fell to pieces.
My thought as well: diaper advocate???? Perhaps that’s something like a community organizer.
Buy them a diaper pail and they can do what we did 50 years ago.
Or they can get wipes and use them as an insert.
That sounds like so much . . . work.
This is all orchestrated. Designed to hook more Americans on the evil teat of government.
Great millions of millions of disposable diapers filling the landfills in California. Give them cloth diapers and have them wash them. My mom didn’t have a problem with that and she wasn’t even an environmentalist.
ACCESS —that word is REALLY getting abused.
It means something should be FREE, really that somebody ELSE should pay for it.
Another abused word is “CELEBRATE”, as in Celebrate Diversity.
Sounds LOADS better than “drive to a dark and scary rest-stop and GET HUMPED BY 50 DIRTY STRANGERS YOU DON’T KNOW”.
As an extremely low income person (now a days, anyway) I still use disposable diapers. The cost isn’t that bad. It’s like $20 a week.
A lot of these people bitching about the cost of diapers also buy packs of smokes. I don’t care how ignorant I sound, the facts are the facts.
Low income people, by and large, send their money to the state lottery and cigarette companies without a hesitation.
Not saying all.. but you get my drift.
And oh god cloth diapers are the worst. Just my opinion.
Perverts, genitals, sex, toilets and now diapers. What the hell are these politicians smoking?
If they can’t afford children they should not have children, especially once they’re on welfare. New children should not be had by welfare families until they are no longer on welfare. Working people have to pay their own way freeloaders should only get basic assistance to get them on their feet.
They government has taught the moochers to look upon the state as their Nanny and Sugar Daddy.
So why shouldn’t it provide free diapers?
In their minds it is perfectly logical.
And I fully expect that eventually some judge will agree with the moochers and order the state to provide a diaper allowance.
People can wash diapers. My sainted mother did.
Let the illegals pay for it out of their south money.
Agreed. My three are seven and under, and both my husband and I work to pay for others’ free $hit. We live well below our means, yet we both have to work to ensure a lifetime OFF of Big Gov’s list of options.
Gives new meaning to red diaper doper baby.
Now that in California we provide “free” school meals and now “free” diapers the social engineers have us coming and going.
