Transcript of Fischer’s video
:
“Nebraska has long understood the value of life. We are a state where neighbors look out for one another and every human life is cherished.
“As a mother and grandmother, I know being pro-life is more than a belief; it’s a responsibility. That means building a culture where choosing life is truly supported — before birth and long after a child is born.
“That’s why I’m fighting to ensure pregnant students can stay in school, make child care more affordable, provide tax relief to working families, and strengthen children’s long-term financial stability.
“That’s also why I successfully pushed for my Paid Family and Medical Leave bill – the country’s first-ever national paid family leave policy – to be enacted into law to support working parents.
“As Nebraskans gather at our state capitol for the Walk For Life this weekend, I thank them for spreading the pro-life message.
“Please know I will continue working to protect moms, babies, and the unborn in the United States Senate.”
