Its path through Congress
- Introduced
What this bill would do
This bill requires the Secretary to update the government website moms.gov within one year of enactment to serve as a resource directory for pregnant and postpartum women, and women parenting young children. The updated website must include a clearinghouse of relevant resources, a ZIP Code search tool, a location distance filter, and an assessment mechanism for user outreach. States are invited to provide resource recommendations and can apply for grants to establish resource aggregation systems. The bill explicitly prohibits certain entities that provide abortions from being listed on the website or receiving these grants. Additionally, the Secretary must compile a list of funding opportunities for pregnancy support centers on the website and submit reports to Congress.
