Bishops' Conference Praises Senate Introduction of 'Pregnant Women Support Act'
Date:12/14/2007

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) praised Senator Robert Casey (D-PA) for introducing the Pregnant Women's Support Act (S. 2407), a bill to provide resources and support to pregnant women.

It will also encourage adoption by expanding adoption credit and adoption assistance programs.

Representative Lincoln Davis (D-TN) and 35 co-sponsors introduced nearly identical legislation in the House (H.R. 3192) on July 26, 2007.

"Thanks to the courageous leadership of Representative Davis and Senator Casey, Congress has a long-overdue opportunity to help make abortion rare. We wholeheartedly support this constructive bill and urge the House and Senate to pass it for women, their families, and th
