Moms.gov Website Links to Crisis Pregnancy Centers, Draws Criticism
3 verified4 unconfirmed
The Trump administration launched Moms.gov on Mother’s Day 2026 as a federal resource for expectant mothers, but the website has drawn scrutiny for directing users to crisis pregnancy centers, which aim to prevent abortions. A group of 11 senators sent a letter urging the administration to remove the pregnancy center links, arguing the site uses federal resources to promote unregulated anti-abortion facilities. Separately, a watchdog group sent a letter to the New York attorney general requesting investigation into whether some centers are fraudulently advertising their ability to diagnose ectopic pregnancies. The Government Accountability Office estimates there are between 2,400 and 2,800 crisis pregnancy centers operating in the United States as of 2025. The White House defended Moms.gov as a comprehensive resource for maternal and infant health. The lawmakers requested answers about how the website was created.
