Talking Points for the Child Custody Protection Act
SUMMARY
Talking points for progressive leaders on the proposed Child Custody Protection Act, which the Senate will debate imminently.
The Child Custody Protection Act is another example of political gamesmanship; it would not meaningfully reduce the number of abortions in America. This legislation’s approach to the abortion issue—putting people in jail—is wrong and unpopular. The right approach is to promote policies that prevent unintended pregnancies from happening in the first place and to provide support for pregnant women.
