With the pro-life movement’s phase one complete, Marco Rubio outlines his vision for a ‘post-Roe America’ – By Chris Pandolfo (The Blaze) / June 24, 2022
Pro-life Republicans have for years faced accusations from Democrats that they do not care what happens to families once children are born, that they have no plan to help expecting mothers with unplanned pregnancies. In answer to this accusation, now that the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has put forward “a pro-life plan for post-Roe America.”
In a framework released Friday, Rubio outlined his vision for what Congress should do to support pregnant women and new moms, as well as those with young children, now that states are permitted to regulate or outlaw abortion. His proposals, collectively called the “Providing for Life Act,” would create a federal paid leave program, expand child tax credits, and make several reforms to child support and welfare programs.
“For years, I have emphasized that Congress can and must do more for unborn children and their mothers,” Rubio said in a statement. “We need to adopt pro-life policies that support families, rather than destroy them. This comprehensive legislation would make a real difference to American parents and children in need.”
