Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act

This bill would change the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, part of the Social Security Act. It states that nothing in the program's rules bars a state from using its TANF grant money to support pregnancy centers. It defines a pregnancy center as an organization that supports protecting the life of the mother and the unborn child. A pregnancy center must also offer resources and services to mothers, fathers, and families. These can include relationship counseling, pregnancy education, pregnancy testing, diapers, or baby clothes.
