A growing number of lawmakers are advocating for changes in House voting rules to accommodate new parents, particularly pregnant lawmakers. Representative Brittany Pettersen from Colorado has criticized current regulations after being denied the ability to vote remotely while expecting. The push for remote voting is gaining bipartisan support, with several members emphasizing the need for proxy voting options for new parents. However, House Speaker Mike Johnson has faced criticism for blocking these efforts, leading to a heated debate on the accessibility of voting for parents in Congress. Advocates argue that allowing remote voting not only supports family needs but also modernizes legislative processes.
