Standing with Moms Act

HR 688, the Standing with Moms Act, requires the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to create a federal website (life.gov) and an interactive portal within one year of enactment. The portal would provide pregnant women with tailored, location-specific information on health services, financial assistance, mental health support, alternatives to abortion, abortion risks, and child development resources. It mandates that states submit resource recommendations meeting specific criteria (e.g., non-abortion providers with 3+ years of service), excludes abortion providers from the listings, and includes multilingual access. HHS must also report to Congress on website usage, user feedback, and gaps in services within 180 days of launch.
