Moolenaar Supports Legislation To Help Mothers and Children

Press Release

Congressman John Moolenaar has cosponsored two bills that would allow mothers to receive benefits at conception that are currently afforded to them at birth. The Unborn Child Support Act would allow mothers to collect child support from the moment of conception, and the Child Tax Credit For Pregnant Moms Act would expand the coverage of the child tax credit to the unborn.

"Now that the Supreme Court has ruled for life, we must help mothers and their young children. Life begins at conception and expecting mothers should receive benefits they would otherwise receive after giving birth," said Moolenaar. "Every child is a precious gift and this legislation will help mothers prepare for the arrival of their newborns."
