Alabama Senator Katie Britt, who gained national attention after her controversial response to President Joe Biden’s state of the union, proposed a sweeping set of legislation, which would enable child support payments to begin during pregnancy and establish a national clearinghouse of pregnancy care providers, except those which provide abortion-related services.
The “More Opportunities for Moms to Succeed,” or MOMS Act, which garnered co-sponsors including Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), creates specific carve-outs barring an entity that “performs, induces, refers for, or counsels in favor of abortions” from receiving funding or placement on a new Pregnancy.gov website, including swaths of OB-GYN services and sexual health clinics across the country.
