“This all comes because there have been vigilantes showing up at childcare centers. These are people who are not Health Department officials, not auditors showing up and harassing TANF recipients who need childcare as we deny States' moneys for childcare, but we have vigilantes, right-wingers that are showing up and they are creating safety concerns in our daycares. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record my amendment. Ms. Moore of Wisconsin moves to recommit the bill H.R. 6945 to the Committee on Ways and Means with instructions to report the same back to the House forthwith with the following amendment: Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the following: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act''. SEC. 2. PROHIBITION ON DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PREGNANCY CENTERS. Section 404 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 604) is amended by adding at the end the following: ``(l) Use of Funds for Pregnancy Centers.-- ``(1) In general.--Nothing in this part shall be construed to prohibit a State from using a grant made under section 403 to support pregnancy centers. ``(2) Safety.--Nothing in this part shall be construed to prohibit a State from using funds from a grant made under section 403 to provide security for child care facilities or to obtain information about harassment of child care facilities for law enforcement purposes.”
