Moms Support Act: New website and portal for pregnancy resources and alternatives.
This Act requires the Department of Health and Human Services to establish a public website (life.gov) and an interactive portal. The goal is to provide pregnant women with comprehensive, tailored information on available federal, state, and private resources, including financial aid, healthcare, childcare, and alternatives to abortion. The portal is designed to help citizens find local support based on their ZIP Code, but explicitly excludes entities that promote or perform abortions.
