Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act
This bill amends the Social Security Act to allow states to use federal grants to support pregnancy centers. It defines pregnancy centers as organizations that protect the lives of mothers and unborn children while offering services like counseling, education, and material support to families. The change removes previous restrictions that prevented states from using these funds for such centers. The legislation directly affects state governments managing federal grants and the organizations that provide pregnancy-related resources.
