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….
Increasing funding to the Special Supplemental Nutrients for Women, Infants, and Children program would provide much-needed aid to low-income mothers….
