HR 8801 United States House · 118th Congress

MOMS Act

The MOMS Act establishes a federal resource website called pregnancy.gov that will help pregnant and postpartum women find local services through a ZIP code-based search system. It creates grant programs to support nonprofit organizations providing services like medical care, housing assistance, and parenting support to pregnant women, while prohibiting organizations that provide or support abortion from receiving these funds. The bill also amends child support laws to allow enforcement of child support obligations for unborn children, beginning from the month of conception with the mother's consent. These provisions aim to improve access to prenatal and postnatal resources while maintaining a focus on supporting women and their families.
