Life begins at conception, but it sure doesn’t end there. That’s why, on behalf of 21 million pro-life Democrats nationwide, I urge pro-life conservatives to join me in telling Congress to fix the childcare cliff looming over American families and childcare providers.
The childcare cliff is the term used for the abrupt end of pandemic-era grants that have kept thousands of childcare programs afloat nationwide.According to one estimate, more than 70,000 childcare centers, looking after 3.2 million children, may close after the funding runs out this weekend. Going over this cliff would have devastating consequences for parents, children, and workers in the childcare industry.
Children would lose access to high-quality early education and care essential for their development and well-being. Studies show that children who receive high-quality care have better cognitive, social, emotional, and physical outcomes. They also have higher chances of succeeding in school and life. Many children would be left behind or exposed to unsafe or unhealthy environments without adequate childcare.
Childcare is a public good that benefits everyone and should be affordable. Pro-life Americans do so much to support mothers; expending this same vocal support for parents and childcare workers is critical.
