Photograph: Kevin Lamarque/Reuters Senators alarmed at Trump administration website Moms.gov promoting anti-abortion facilities Administration claims website is resource for ‘new and expecting mothers’ but group of senators says it raises ‘profound’ health and safety concerns A group of 11 senators have sent a letter to Donald Trump and Robert F Kennedy urging them to remove a federal website and “cease using federal resources to direct people to anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers”. On Mother’s Day this year, the US Department of Health and Human Services launched Moms.gov, a resource they claim is for “new and expecting mothers” and “offers guidance and information to support the health and wellbeing of mothers and their families”. The administration said the site “supports expecting parents who are navigating difficult or unexpected pregnancies” and “features information about pregnancy centers, federally qualified health centers, nutritional guidance”. In their Wednesday letter, senators – including Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer, Ron Wyden and Tammy Duckworth – criticized the site and noted that it “directs pregnant women to unregulated and often non-medical anti-abortion facilities known as crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) ”, which they said “raises profound concerns about the health, safety and privacy of people who access this government website at a time when women’s health and reproductive rights face increasing attacks”. “Since the US supreme court took away the fundamental right to abortion care in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization, 21 states have banned or severely restricted access to abortion, decimating access to care for tens of millions of people,” the lawmakers wrote in the letter, which was first reported by HuffPost . “Yet instead of offering concrete resources to protect the health and safety of pregnant women and their families, the Trump Administration is using this website to highlight anti-abortion CPCs.” The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) states: “CPC is a term used to refer to certain facilities that represent themselves as legitimate reproductive healthcare clinics providing care for pregnant people but actually aim to dissuade people from accessing certain types of reproductive health care, including abortion care and even contraceptive options.” Staff members “at these unregulated and often non medical facilities have no legal obligation to provide pregnant people with accurate information and are not subject to HIPAA or required by law to maintain client confidentiality”, notes ACOG. While there is “no standard definition of a CPC” and “differing perspectives exist regarding their characteristics and total number”
