More Opportunities for Moms: Support, Resources, and Unborn Child Support.
This act aims to improve access to resources and support for pregnant women and mothers of young children. It establishes a central website with information on available services, supports organizations assisting mothers, and introduces the possibility of seeking child support for unborn children, which may impact parents' personal finances.
Key points
Creation of pregnancy.gov website: A central resource for pregnant and postpartum women, allowing users to find local support services.
Support for maternal assistance organizations: Grants for non-profit organizations providing medical, nutritional, housing, and educational services, excluding entities involved in abortions.
Telehealth for prenatal and postnatal care: Grants for equipment to facilitate remote medical visits, improving access to care in rural and underserved areas.
