Statement “No one should have to choose between a paycheck and holding a hospitalized child’s hand. No one should be forced to return to work just weeks after giving birth. No one should lose income while recovering from a serious medical condition. And no one should be forced to go to work with stomach flu or strep throat. But moms, families and caregivers face those and other impossible choices every day because Congress has failed to pass national paid leave and paid sick days policies. That must change.

Statement “It’s hard to imagine a crisis more urgent than our country’s maternal health crisis, which is getting worse – not better. It is shameful that the United States is the most dangerous place to give birth in the developed world, with Black, Indigenous, and Latina moms even more likely to lose their lives during and after childbirth than white women. The COVID-19 pandemic made a bad situation even worse, and now the state abortion bans and restrictions the U.S. Supreme allowed threaten even more harm to the health of women, moms, and pregnant people.

Statement “The FDA Advisory Committee recommendation, issued today, to make Opill available OTC is an important, badly needed, and very welcome step forward for maternal health, equity, and justice.

Statement “America’s moms are asking those and related questions after a weekend when eight people died (at least four of whom were Asian American) and seven others were wounded after a man opened fire with an assault rifle at a shopping mall in Allen, Texas. This was just days after another man with an assault rifle opened fire on his neighbors in Cleveland, Texas. There have been close to 200 mass shootings so far in 2023, and it is early May.

Statement “North Carolina moms are not fooled by the fact that cynical state legislators have included some badly needed, long overdue advances in Senate Bill 20, which at its core is a monstrous bill that will ban abortion in practice after 10 weeks of pregnancy and create often-insurmountable barriers to accessing abortion care, even early in pregnancy.

Statement “The U.S. Senate vote on the Equal Rights Amendment is a real disappointment. At this time when moms and women – and especially moms and women of color – face devastating wage discrimination, when our country has failed to adopt the programs and policies that would help parents and all caregivers achieve economic security, and when our bodily autonomy and access to reproductive health care is being gutted, all lawmakers from both political parties should support enshrining equal rights for women into our constitution.
