The Trump administration celebrated Mother’s Day by launching a new government website that directs pregnant people to anti-abortion pregnancy centers.
The Department of Health and Human Services rolled out Moms.gov, which offers “resources, information and help for new and expecting mothers,” first flagged by Autonomy News reporter Garnet Henderson.
The first resource listed is the 2,750 anti-abortion pregnancy centers, also known as crisis pregnancy centers, around the country. In order for a pregnant woman to find one near her, the site links out to Option Line, a call center that refers callers to anti-abortion centers, also known as crisis pregnancy centers. Option Line is operated by Heartbeat International, one of the biggest anti-abortion pregnancy center groups in the country.
Heartbeat International described Option Line in a Monday statement as the organization’s “24/7 contact center connecting women to life-affirming pregnancy help and local support services.”
“I encourage every mom to visit this new page where they will find helpful information about addressing clinical care, pregnancy resources, nutrition tips, TrumpRx and Trump accounts,” President Donald Trump said during a Monday morning press conference.
