Standing with Moms Act

The "Standing with Moms Act" requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create a public website, life.gov , and an interactive portal within one year of enactment, designed to furnish comprehensive and tailored information to pregnant women. This platform will aggregate Federal, State, local governmental, and private resources, covering areas such as mental health counseling, prepartum and postpartum services, and information on child development from conception. A key provision is the inclusion of detailed information on alternatives to abortion and abortion risks , including complications and failures. The interactive portal will use a series of questions to provide specific, tailored information to users based on their ZIP Code and needs, including risks related to abortion at all stages of fetal gestation. The bill specifies a broad range of resources to be included, such as mentorship opportunities, women's medical services, financial assistance, childcare, housing, and recovery and mental health services. Notably, the website and portal are explicitly prohibited from listing any resources offered by a "prohibited entity," defined as an organization that performs, induces, refers for, or counsels in favor of abortions , or provides financial support to such activities. Furthermore, the Secretary must develop a plan for follow-up outreach to users and a grant program to assist States in aggregating resources. The Maternal Mental Health Hotline will disseminate information about the new website and portal, including live chat features for 24-hour access. The bill also mandates regular reporting to Congress on website traffic, user feedback, and identified gaps in services for pregnant and postpartum women.
