Sen. Britt introduced the MOMS Act on Thursday which, among other things, would refer abortion seekers to a government-run, anti-abortion directory.of disturbing anti-abortion measures, including requiring “fathers” to pay child support during a pregnancy, effectively recognizing embryos as children. It would also, most concerningly, create an online government database called “pregnancy.gov.”
This website would have people with unwanted pregnancies provide their name, zip code, and contact information and direct them to anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers near them. In a statement rolling out the bill, Britt assured us it will promote a “comprehensive culture of life” as well as the “American Dream.” As for the text of her bill, it
notes that, as you could’ve guessed, the government will store the personal data that users input at pregnancy.gov. In addition to their name and location, this website would direct users to “take an assessment through the website and provide consent to use the user’s contact information,” which the government may then “use to conduct outreach via phone or email to follow up with users on additional resources that would be helpful for the users to review.
So, taken altogether, this is how Senate Republicans decided to honor Mother’s Day: by pushing forced motherhood, attempting to bolster the surveillance of pregnant people, and legally recognizing unborn embryos as people. Happy Mother’s Day!May 6, 2024 | 1:34pm
