Pregnant Women Support Act Introduced in Senate

From Democrats for Life of America:

Senator Robert Casey (D-PA) [today] introduced the Pregnant Women Support Act into the United States Senate.  S. 2407, similar to legislation (H.R. 3192) introduced by Lincoln Davis (D-TN) earlier this year in the U.S. House, is designed to reduce the number of abortions by aiding those women who feel they have no other option. . . .

One of the key provisions of the proposal calls for banning the discriminatory practice against pregnant women in the health insurance industry by removing pregnancy from all "pre-existing condition" lists in health care. Other provisions call for making adoption tax credits permanent, provides grants for low-income parenting college students, fully funding the federal WIC program, increased funding for domestic violence programs, and provides free home visits by registered nurses for new mothers.
