Budget Negotiations Underway; Pregnancy Support Services Funding Secured

The House and Senate have agreed to fund the Florida Pregnancy Care Network at its current level. $4 million is allocated to provide services such as counseling, referrals, material support, training, and pregnancy and childbirth education to pregnant mothers as they prepare to parent or place their babies for adoption. FCCB has been supportive of the program since its inception in 2005, and Catholic Days participants advocated for the inclusion of the program in Florida statutes in 2018.
