Good afternoon! It's Wednesday, July 26, and today's headlines include the Providing for Life Act, details on pro-life activists who say that police won't press charges against their attackers, and a detransitioner who is suing the medical professionals who she says disfigured her body.
The pro-life advocacy group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is praising proposed pro-family legislation from Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa. The Providing for Life Act would amend the definition of a "qualifying child" for the Child Tax Credit to include unborn children born in "the taxable year immediately preceding the year in which the child is born alive," increase the child tax credit, amend the Social Security Act to provide up to three months of paid paternal leave to new parents, and require biological fathers to pay child support for medical expenses during pregnancy and delivery. Full Story.
