Statement “America’s moms are horrified by recent and impending U.S. Supreme Court actions that put women’s health and families’ well-being in grave jeopardy. Most people who have abortions are moms; and moms want abortion care to be accessible to all who need it, including low-income women, women of color, and immigrant women. Instead of improving access to this basic health care, politicians have been attacking and denying abortion care and our highest court is failing to protect this basic liberty.

Statement “Last night’s U.S. Senate failure to pass the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act was a costly and bitter disappointment that puts our hopes for democracy at grave risk. At a time when state lawmakers are passing laws to suppress the votes of Black, Indigenous and people of color, using extreme gerrymandering, trying to lock historically marginalized Americans out of the political process, and allowing dark money to set our country’s agenda, Congress had a responsibility to step up and protect our democracy. Last night the U.S. Senate utterly failed to do so.

Statement “Today is a somber anniversary, when we remember last January’s brutal, appalling attack by domestic terrorists on the U.S. Capitol and on the lawmakers and staff who were doing their jobs by certifying a free and fair election. We recognize the terrible toll that attack took in deaths and injuries as well as the toll it has taken on our unity and civility as a nation. America’s moms strongly support decisive action to hold accountable every single person who planned, funded, or participated in that attack.

Statement “2022 is off to a rough start for America’s moms, families, and businesses. The pandemic is surging, hundreds of thousands of people are becoming ill and being asked to quarantine each day, many schools and child care centers are operating remotely if they are open at all, transportation systems are compromised, and the already-high cost of food, medication, housing and energy is rising fast.
