If the family is the most foundational unit of society, it is crucial that all aspects of federal policy provide a platform for families to thrive and flourish.
An essential aspect of our advocacy for life in this post-Roe world must be for policies that address financial insecurity and other key factors that drive women to seek abortions.
The ERLC will advocate for policies that remedy marriage penalties, empower abortion-vulnerable women to choose life, and provide baseline levels of support for new parents. This is consistent with the 2022 SBC Resolution that urged a focus on “pro-life and pro-family policies that serve and support vulnerable women, children, and families” as we work to “eliminate any perceived need for the horror of abortion.”
We joined other pro-life partners in sending a letter to Congressional leadership on January 29, 2024, in support of an expanded Child Tax Credit.
