Statement “The fight over raising the debt ceiling, with its grave threats to moms and families, as well as to the economy, should not be happening. Just as Congress passed clean debt ceiling increases not once, not twice, but three times when President Trump held office, Congress should be passing a clean debt ceiling increase now. The days when the GOP has one set of priorities during a Republican administration and then switches to another during a Democratic administration must end. The GOP threats to vulnerable moms and families must end.

News release Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ education agenda is deeply unpopular with women voters, including moms and grandmothers; women who identify as Republican, Independent, and Democrat; Black, white and Latina moms; and women without children. Those are among the findings of a national survey of likely women voters conducted this month and released today.

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. America’s moms encourage the FDA to immediately follow the Committee’s recommendation and make this safe, effective method of birth control more accessible to moms and everyone who needs contraception.

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.
