Providing for Life
America’s future will be determined by the strength of our families. The Providing for Life Act lays the foundation for a whole of society effort that protects the most vulnerable and makes critical investments in the long-term well-being of our families.
I penned a piece for the Des Moines Register on this comprehensive pro-family legislation. Read the full piece here or the excerpt below.
"The pro-life movement was never solely about ending abortion, it has always been about valuing life at every stage. When Roe v. Wade was rightfully overturned last year, the next chapter of the pro-life movement began and we were all given the opportunity to strengthen our support for unborn babies and new families.
In Iowa, our governor and state Legislature have been working tirelessly to pass fetal heartbeat legislation. As they continue this fight for the unborn, there are policies we must enact at the federal level to follow through on our pro-life commitments.
This means supporting women during pregnancy, devoting resources to maternal health care access and stillbirth prevention, and helping parents afford to raise their kids comfortably. It requires engaged fathers, expanded nutrition assistance, and robust community assistance for women and children in need."
