Recently I have read about many legislative acts that are being supported by the Democratic party. One act that caught my attention was the Pregnant Women Support Act. This is an act for women considering abortion only because of lack of resources available to them. Mostly single pregnant women who are working, in school, or without a job are the ones who are involved in this situation and need help. This act includes many programs that will help pregnant women carry out their term.
The programs include providing pregnancy counseling, providing grants for medical expenses such as ultrasounds, providing house visits for new mothers by a registered nurse, and providing women with toll-free numbers so they can contact local places that provide support. If a woman only wants an abortion because she needs resources, this act will provide them for her. This way the woman would be able to have information and resources so that she could continue her pregnancy. It is logical for all sides of the political debate to support this act. The pro-life supporters would naturally support this act. The Democrats that support this act need to advocate it so that it can be passed.
