I think it's bullshyt that he waited for the SCOTUS ruling before presenting this because it could have been useful yesterday.
This reeks of PR and trying to save face.
The law is good, though, and should have it and abortion access.
The Providing for Life Act
The first is to expand further the federal child tax credit for working families…. Working parents do more for America's future than almost any other group—they deserve to keep more of their hard-earned income. In the same vein, we should let pregnant mothers claim the credit for their unborn children.... And while we're talking about tax credits, why not make the adoption tax credit fully refundable?
…Policymakers could also ease the burden on families by allowing new parents, biological and adoptive, to pull forward their Social Security benefits to finance time off work. People are entitled to those funds one way or another….
Tragically, some women consider abortion because they are afraid their husband or boyfriend will abandon them when a baby is born…. Congress should strengthen existing Child Support Enforcement rules in the social safety net, and it should expand child support to cover the period before as well as after birth.
Finally,...policymakers should see that mothers have adequate healthcare, access to best practices, and knowledge of all their options. That means working to improve maternal health and reduce stillbirth rates across the country and giving more nutritional aid to mothers and young children. It means supporting motherhood mentoring initiatives and establishing a national maternal resources clearinghouse. It means funding crisis pregnancy centers and lowering barriers to faith-based organizations' provision of social services. And it means requiring colleges to inform students of the rights, protections, and options—other than abortion—they have recourse to in the event of pregnancy.
All these steps and more would provide real, meaningful aid to mothers and their babies—and they are all included as provisions in the Providing for Life Act, a new bill whose framework I have introduced this week.
