“first, I would like to thank my colleague from Oklahoma, Senator Lankford, for putting this together today, showing that we are truly the party of life, the party of parents, the party of families. I would also like to thank my colleague from Florida, Senator Rubio, and my colleague from North Dakota, Senator Cramer, for joining me in introducing the MOMS Act. I also appreciate the 20 additional Republican colleagues who cosponsored this commonsense legislation. The MOMS Act is straightforward. It stands for ``More Opportunities for Moms to Succeed.'' That is exactly what this bill would secure. As a mom, I know that there is no greater blessing in this world than that of being a mother. And I understand many of the challenges that women face during their pregnancy journey and while raising their kids. And that is why I was proud to introduce the MOMS Act. The MOMS Act would provide critical support for women during simple challenging phases of motherhood. It includes the prenatal, postpartum, and early childhood development stages. At the end of the day, this legislation would help mothers and their children thrive. Let's walk through the three sections of the bill. First, the MOMS Act would establish pregnancy.gov. This new website would feature a wide range of resources available to expecting and postpartum moms as well as moms and families with young children.…”
