CELEBRATION OF LIFE DAY
Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, January 22 is celebration of life day,
and I wanted to take that opportunity to recognize women facing
unplanned pregnancies or parenting young children. Women with unplanned
pregnancies sometimes lack access to advice and support. They deserve
the backing of their community and access to information, resources,
and quality care. In Iowa, programs like Ruth Harbor in Des Moines
provide a safe place for young women, giving them counseling, education
support, life-skills training, parenting training, adoption assistance,
and access to health care at no cost. Programs like these are critical.
