The U.S. House of Representatives has made a significant stride in defense of the pro-life movement by passing the Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act, also known as HR 6945.

This legislation aims to secure funding for pregnancy centers across the nation, allowing them to receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant resources from various states.

As more than 2,700 pregnancy centers continue providing invaluable support to expectant mothers and families, Representative Chris Smith (R-NJ), a co-sponsor of the bill, underscored its importance during a passionate debate on the House floor.


“Today, we stand up for the sanctity of life and reaffirm that those who choose to offer compassionate support to women in need must not be silenced or marginalized by a hostile administration,” Smith asserted.

In a forceful address, he criticized President Biden’s administration for attempting to undermine the critical work of these centers, which offer life-affirming services amid an increasingly pro-abortion cultural landscape. He emphasized the urgent need for states to support these centers, which provide essential resources ranging from medical care to emotional support—often for free.

Smith recounted emotional testimonies from women who had chosen life, crediting pregnancy centers for their ability to redirect them away from abortion.

Among the stories shared, one mother expressed profound gratitude to a pregnancy center that provided her with not just the necessary materials to care for her child but also support that helped her realize her dreams beyond those challenges.

“Without these centers, many lives would be lost, both the babies and the mothers who feel trapped in their circumstances,” Smith remarked.

The bill's passage sends a powerful message to the nation. It showcases a belief that every life, regardless of circumstance, deserves support and love.

Rep. Michelle Fischbach (R-MN), the bill's primary sponsor, emphasized the importance of recognizing that a mother should never feel coerced into an abortion.

The fight doesn’t stop here. Smith urged the Senate to swiftly take up HR 6945 for a vote, ensuring that pregnancy centers can continue their mission unimpeded.

“This important legislation would ensure that pregnancy centers cannot be excluded or restricted from receiving TANF funding as a result of discrimination from another hostile administration,” he concluded, calling for unity in protecting these vital resources for families across the U.S.

Indeed, the passage of HR 6945 represents a turning point that upholds the dignity of life and honors the commitment to support families in their most challenging times.
