Duckworth: Mothers Deserve Better than Trump Administration’s Harmful Anti-Family Policies

Days before Mother’s Day, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) delivered a speech on the Senate floor this afternoon calling out Trump Administration’s repeated attempts to advance policies that harm women, mothers and families. The Trump Administration has rolled back essential Title IX sexual assault protections, limited birth control coverage, attempted defund health clinics that provide prenatal care and mammograms and so much more. Duckworth also lifted up mothers impacted by our nation’s gun violence epidemic, our maternal mortality crisis and ongoing family separation situation.
