Providing Sensible Alternatives to Family Planning
This bill will provide women in difficult situations understand their options by providing easier access to adoption, counseling, and health care coverage versus solely relying on abortion. I ask you to support the Pregnant Women Support Act (PWSA, H.R. 2035 and S. 1032), which when enacted would: establish an 800 telephone number for pregnancy support services, provide for pregnancy counseling and childcare in universities, provide accurate adoption information to pregnant women, increase the adoption tax credit and make it permanent, exclude pregnancy as a pre-existing condition within health insurance, require SCHIP to provide coverage for pregnant women and the pre-born.
