Standing with Moms Act
The Standing with Moms Act requires the Department of Health and Human Services to create a public website (life.gov) and interactive portal within one year of enactment, providing pregnant women with tailored information on local resources. It mandates comprehensive listings of services including mental health support, alternatives to abortion, abortion risk details, child development resources, and practical assistance like childcare and housing. The portal uses a question-based system to match users with ZIP code-specific services, while requiring states to recommend vetted providers (excluding abortion-focused organizations) and ensuring multilingual access. The bill also integrates the Maternal Mental Health Hotline to promote the portal and requires an annual report on user feedback and service gaps.
