States could fund pregnancy support centers

The bill would make clear that states can use section 403 grants to support pregnancy centers. A pregnancy center would be an organization that supports protecting the life of the mother and the unborn child and serves families. Services would include relationship counseling, prenatal and pregnancy education, pregnancy testing, diapers, baby clothes, and other material help. This would not add new money or set benefit amounts. It would let states choose to direct existing grants to these centers.
