HR 6918 United States House · 118th Congress

Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act

HR 6918 blocks a specific federal regulation that would have restricted funding for pregnancy centers. It prohibits the Health and Human Services Secretary from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing a proposed rule (described in a Federal Register notice) affecting pregnancy center funding. The bill directly affects pregnancy centers - defined as organizations supporting maternal and fetal life and providing services like counseling, pregnancy testing, and material support (e.g., diapers, baby clothes). This is a procedural measure preventing a regulatory change, not creating new programs or altering existing funding.
