Washington, D.C. — Yesterday, the House passed two important pieces of legislation aimed at supporting pregnant women and families. These bills were supported by Florida Congressman Daniel Webster, R-Clermont, who believes in defending the rights of the unborn.

The first bill, H.R. 6918, known as the Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act, received bipartisan support and aims to ensure that pregnant mothers across the country have access to the necessary resources and care they need as they bring a child into the world. Congressman Webster expressed his support for the bill, stating, "This week I voted to pass legislation that ensures pregnant mothers across the country have access to the resources and care they need as they bring a child into the world."

The second bill, H.R. 6914, known as the Pregnant Students' Rights Act, requires universities and higher education institutions that participate in Title IV federal student aid programs to support pregnant women. This support includes providing information and resources to help them carry their baby to term and care for the baby after birth. These measures aim to ensure that pregnant students are not disadvantaged in their pursuit of education.

Both bills address important aspects of supporting pregnant women and families. H.R. 6918 specifically prevents the Biden Administration from restricting funding to pregnancy centers that provide pregnant mothers and families with life-affirming care and resources. This ensures that these centers can continue to provide vital support to women in need.

Congressman Webster's commitment to defending the rights of the unborn is evident in his support for these bills. He believes that "life is our most precious gift, and one of the three unalienable rights promised to all individuals in the Declaration of Independence." By advocating for legislation that supports pregnant women and families, Webster is taking a stand for the rights of the unborn and ensuring that they receive the care and resources they need.

The passage of these bills is a significant step towards supporting pregnant women and families across the country. By providing access to necessary resources and ensuring that pregnant students are not disadvantaged, these measures contribute to a more inclusive and supportive society for all.
