MOMS Act Faces Backlash Over Misleading Claims of Pregnancy Database

Sen. Katie Britt's proposed bill aims to connect pregnant women with resources, but critics argue it could lead to increased surveillance.

The MOMS Act proposes a website, Pregnancy.gov, to provide pregnancy-related resources excluding abortion services.
Critics falsely claim the bill would create a federal database of pregnant women, leading to privacy concerns.
Supporters argue the bill offers essential support for pregnant women and new mothers, including housing and child care assistance.
Opponents worry the exclusion of abortion services and grants to crisis pregnancy centers undermine comprehensive reproductive health care.
Sen. Britt's office insists the bill does not require personal data collection or create any form of pregnancy registry.
