My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts
|
A nice day…I’m
surviving my tooth extraction. I’m just tired today. The early
morning earthquake in Acapulco, Mexico didn’t effect my brother, his wife,
the dogs, or the property. Good news. Nebraska
Republican Rep. Jeff Fortenberry introduced the Care for Her Act,
legislation that seeks to bridge gaps between existing resources for women
facing unplanned pregnancies. The bill would
not restrict abortion. Instead, it would make expectant mothers eligible for
the existing child tax credit. It would also create “a new Federal-State
entity” to access and publicize resources for expectant mothers and families,
including job training and food and housing resources, as well as provide
grants for those services. It would also incentivize states to improve
maternal and child health outcomes by awarding grants to states that reduce
their maternal and infant mortality rates. Good news. |
