MOMS Act: Child Support from Conception, Telehealth Access, and Federal Resources.

This Act establishes a federal website (Pregnancy.gov) providing resources for pregnant women and new mothers, explicitly excluding entities involved in abortion services. It introduces grant programs supporting maternity care and improves access to prenatal and postnatal care via telehealth in rural areas. A major change allows mothers to seek child support from the biological father, calculated starting from the month of conception, provided the mother consents.
Key points
Launch of Pregnancy.gov – a central directory of resources (financial, health, material) for pregnant women and mothers, excluding organizations that offer abortion services.
Mothers can seek child support from the biological father, potentially calculated retroactively from the first month of conception, if requested.
New grants for purchasing telehealth equipment to improve access to prenatal and postnatal care in rural and underserved areas.
