Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of S. 796, the Protecting Moms Who Served Act.

This bill would require VA to improve the care that is provided to veterans who are pregnant. More and more women are volunteering to serve in the military and seeking services from VA as veterans.

As they grow their families, VA must provide them with high-quality, easy-to-access, pre- and postpartum care.

Strengthening services to women veterans is one of my priorities as the lead Republican on this committee, and I am proud to help do that by supporting this bill today.

I thank Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth for sponsoring this bill on behalf of our fellow veterans. I urge my colleagues to support it today.
