No, it’s not what you typically might think of when it comes to the phrase anti-family, but it’s the best description I can think of to describe the bill that Tennessee’s US Representative Marsha Blackburn has proposed.
H.R. 381 would force substantial cuts in funding to hospitals, early childhood education, and health care for kids. It would also require cuts to programs like WIC, which supports pregnant mothers by giving them access to the adequate nutrition that their unborn children need.
It’s cruel to attack American families, especially at this time, when many Americans find themselves out of work, through no fault of their own, only because their employers couldn’t stay afloat. If you live in Representative Blackburn’s district in Tennessee, please call her office through her congressional switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask her to rescind this bill. We don’t need Marsha Blackburn to kick American families when they’re down.
