What it does
The bill tells the government to build a website called moms.gov. Pregnant women and new mothers can use it to find local help. States get money to add their local help to the website. Groups that do abortion cannot be listed or get money from the program. The only exceptions are rape, incest, or danger to the mother's life.
Who it affects
Pregnant women and new mothers use the website to find help. Groups that do abortion are blocked from the website and cannot get grants. States must follow the rules to get money.
One thing to notice
The website will not list groups that do abortion, even though abortion is legal. Pregnant women using the website will not see all their choices.
