LEGISLATIVE SESSION--Pregnant Students' Rights Act
Congressional Record Vol. 172, No. 19
(Senate - January 27, 2026) PDF
Pregnant Students' Rights Act
Mrs. HYDE-SMITH. Mr. President, today, we are also voting on another
important effort to protect pregnant moms: Senator Moody's Pregnant
Students' Rights Act. This bill would empower young women in college by
ensuring that they are supported throughout pregnancy to continue their
higher education.
Earning a degree is just one of the many ways a mother can prepare
herself to be a strong role model for her children, and any mother
would tell you that few things are more motivating than learning that
you are about to become one. We should remove every obstacle that
stands in the way of that motivation, and the Pregnant Students' Rights
Act aims to help clear the path to success.
I look forward to standing with my pro-life colleagues to send a
clear message to expectant mothers across the country: We support you
at every stage of life, and you are deeply admired for your drive to
become the best role models for your children.
I yield the floor.
