White House launches website to help pregnant moms and families

The White House celebrated Mother's Day on Sunday by announcing the launch of a new website specifically designed to help new and expecting mothers find resources available to help them.

Key Takeaways:

• The White House has launched Moms.gov, a resource designed to offer help and information to new and expecting mothers, parents, and families.

• Information available on the website includes listings for pregnancy resource centers and federally qualified health centers, along with information about nutrition, breastfeeding, health/wellness, and more.

• The website is nearly the opposite of one launched by the Biden administration in 2022, which appeared to offer pregnant women only abortion-related resources.

The Details:

Moms.gov, powered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), purports to offer "Resources, Information, and Help for New and Expecting Mothers" with the tagline, "Addressing the needs of mothers and fathers who face difficult or unexpected pregnancies and ensuring the wellbeing of mothers and the health of American families."

The site has a host of information designed to help new parents, with topics including:

• Accessing pregnancy resource centers and federally qualified health centers

• Nutrition information

• Breastfeeding

• Mental health

• Adoption

• Early Head Start

• Trump accounts

• Pregnancy-related health and wellness

The website also links to Option Line, a  pregnancy help contact center run by Heartbeat International. This hotline helps connect women with pregnancy resource centers in their local area, and offers a variety of life-affirming support designed to help parents who choose life for their preborn babies.

Additionally, Moms.gov provides links to adoption information and resources from groups like Focus on the Family, Lifeline Pregnancy Counseling, and Brave Love.

"This Mother's Day, the Trump Administration is strengthening its commitment to America's families by equipping mothers and fathers with the resources and information they need to build healthy, prosperous lives," said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. "Moms.gov delivers critical tools and support to help parents foster healthy pregnancies, strengthen young families, and create brighter futures for their children. This is how you Make America Healthy Again."

As noted by Daily Wire's Mary Margaret Olohan, the website appears to be in response to the Biden administration's 2022 launch of ReproductiveRights.org, which offered women no pregnancy resources or help, instead directing them to a host of abortion-related resources — including links informing minors about how to circumvent their parents to obtain abortions regardless of state law.

Notably, Moms.gov does not appear to have abortion-related information or resources listed on the site.

The Bottom Line:

Alabama Senator Katie Britt stated that the website's goal is to provide one location where pregnant women can find all the resources they need.

"One thing we're trying to do is to make sure we're pushing people to all these resources," she explained after President Trump announced the website's launch.

"When you either want to have a child or you find out you have a child, sometimes that's an exciting thing, and sometimes you're a little overwhelmed. We want all of those resources to be in one spot so that we can help these women in their journey to motherhood."
