SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — Arizona Representative Andy Biggs, R-5, introduced a bill on January 3 that is supposed to target healthcare for women.

House Resolution 7, Recognizing the importance of access to comprehensive, high-quality, life-affirming medical care for women of all ages, was referred to the Committee on Energy on Commerce. HR 7 states that women should feel empowered and equipped with the knowledge to listen to their body and advocate for their health.

The resolution emphasizes women having access to health care for the sake of their physical, mental, and spiritual wellness. It also states that women’s health care should address the needs of men, families, and communities. While focusing on women’s health care, the resolution, does not state, why or how men or families are related to the care of women’s health.

Additionally the resolution adds that the use of Pro Women’s Healthcare Centers, a group of centers that provide health care to women is a goal of the representatives sponsoring the bill in the 119th Congress.

According to the resolution, the health centers are nationwide and focus on pregnancy testing, miscarriage support, infertility support, and spiritual resources. The goal of the resolution is for these centers to be considered as the standard and to be implemented nationwide.

The Pro Women’s Healthcare Centers booklet, states that these centers are pro-life centers. From the website,

Abortion is not women’s healthcare, because of the damage it causes to women’s physical and emotional health and the destruction of unborn life, many of whom are females. Abortion is usually something women turn to when they feel they do not have another choice. This is a tragedy and the opposite of choice and empowerment. Pro Women’s Healthcare Centers provide the possibility for women to receive the medical and comprehensive care they need in order to feel motherhood or adoption is plausible for them.

While this resolution aims to be one for women’s health care, there are questions on whether this covers all of women’s health or just a bi-partisan view of women’s health at the national level.
