The More Opportunities for Moms to Succeed (MOMS) Act aims to expand federal support and resources for expectant and new mothers. A central component of the bill is the creation of "Pregnancy.gov," a federal clearinghouse that would provide a searchable database of pregnancy resource centers, adoption agencies, and other non-abortion support services. The bill also proposes a grant program to help nonprofit organizations provide material assistance, such as diapers and clothing, and educational resources to women during and after pregnancy.
Additionally, the legislation seeks to improve healthcare access by providing grants to rural and underserved areas for prenatal and postnatal telehealth equipment. It also proposes a significant change to child support laws by allowing expectant mothers to seek child support payments from biological fathers starting at the time of conception. These payments could be applied retroactively if paternity is established after the birth.
If enacted, the bill would prohibit any federal funds or resources authorized under its provisions from being used to perform abortions or provide referrals for abortion services. The bill focuses on promoting "alternatives to abortion" by strengthening the financial and logistical support systems available to women who choose to carry their pregnancies to term.
