Donald Trump unveiled something resembling a plan to give new parents a child-care tax credit, but one of his strongest supporters already sounds wary of it.

While being interviewed by CNN’s Chris Cuomo on Wednesday, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) expressed skepticism about whether Trump could really find enough money to pay for his plan just by eliminating “waste, fraud and abuse” in unemployment insurance.

Even more interesting, however, was King’s assertion that only “natural families” ought to benefit from the proposed policy....

“I want to respect all people, but I want to promote the natural family, Chris, and I think that’s the most wholesome thing we can do,” King said. “The natural family is a man and a woman joined together in — hopefully — holy matrimony, blessed by God with children.”

Really, Steverino? Even if they were "blessed by God" through IVF?

6. What about single parents? Intergenrational aprents/guardians? What about adopted children?

Are those examples of natural families?

I am amazed how often "natural" or "nature" comes up in the arguments of bigots, especially given 'nature' is often filled with anomalies and ambiguity.
