Pro-life Americans are excited the Supreme Court may be on the verge of overturning Roe v. Wade, and justifiably so…. However, being pro-life has always meant more than being against abortion…. As we take steps to protect the unborn,…the government can and should do more to support mothers and their babies.
[W]e need to dramatically expand the child tax credit for working families and allow new parents to pull some of their Social Security savings forward to finance time off of work….

[W]e must do everything we can to give every human a chance at life. That’s why I will soon introduce the Providing for Life Act, sweeping legislation that will touch on the issues in this article and many more — because being pro-life means protecting babies and their mothers.
