Controversy Surrounds Senator Katie Britt's Proposal for a National Pregnancy Registry

The proposed MOMS Act by Sen. Katie Britt, which includes a federal database tracking pregnancies, has sparked widespread criticism and comparisons to dystopian fiction.

Sen. Katie Britt introduced the MOMS Act, aiming to create a federal database for pregnant women, excluding abortion clinics from its resources.
Critics liken the proposed registry to scenarios from 'The Handmaid's Tale,' expressing fears over privacy and women's rights.
The bill, co-sponsored by Republican Senators Marco Rubio and Kevin Cramer, also seeks to enforce prenatal child support obligations.
Social media backlash highlights concerns over potential misuse of the database to restrict women's travel and access to abortions.
The controversy accentuates the ongoing national debate over privacy and reproductive rights, juxtaposing gun registry opposition.
