Empowering Moms Act
The Empowering Moms Act directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to update the government website moms.gov within one year to serve as a centralized directory for resources aimed at pregnant, postpartum, and parenting women. The bill authorizes grants for states to help aggregate local resources, which users can filter by ZIP code and distance, while also allowing the federal government to contact users via phone or email if they consent to follow-up outreach. A key provision excludes organizations that provide abortions, except in cases of rape, incest, or life-threatening conditions, from being listed on the website or receiving state grants. The act mandates that the website be accessible in multiple languages and requires the Secretary to submit a report to Congress within 180 days detailing user traffic, feedback, and resource gaps.
