Congresswoman Claudia Tenney from New York’s 24th district and Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach from Minnesota’s 7th district have reintroduced the More Opportunities for Moms to Succeed (MOMS) Act. The legislation aims to provide essential support to new mothers during and after pregnancy, with a focus on empowering women to choose life and raise healthy children.
“Being pro-life means supporting mothers and their babies during every phase of life,” said Congresswoman Tenney. She emphasized that the MOMS Act is designed to offer vital resources during pregnancy and early motherhood, ensuring that mothers receive necessary physical, emotional, and financial support.
Congresswoman Fischbach highlighted the challenges faced by women who experience unexpected pregnancies. “For many women, finding out you are unexpectedly pregnant comes with fear, and for some, abortion may feel like the only option,” she stated. Fischbach stressed her commitment to empowering women and ensuring they have access to resources needed to carry pregnancies to term confidently.
The introduction of this legislation coincides with Mother’s Day weekend, underscoring its focus on supporting new mothers and their children.
