"“Translation? To peddle dangerous anti-abortion rhetoric, try and get more Americans to procreate, and push abortion seekers towards crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs), or ‘ fake clinics ’ that take advantage of pregnant people.”"
"“It's all of a piece of disguising what's really at stake in communicating to women about pregnancy,” Emily Martin, chief program officer at the National Women's Law Center, told Jezebel. “MomsDotGov, I think, is the most recent example of the ways in which the administration is interested in talking about pregnancy and is not interested in talking about pregnancy.”"
"“While this page purports itself as a one-stop shop for pregnant women, it says nothing about abortion or vaccines-and, at every opportunity, pushes Trump-branded fodder like Trump accounts and TrumpRx.”"
"“The top part of the website also directs women to CPCs, which employ a Trojan-horse-like strategy to mislead pregnant people by luring them in with free services like counseling and pre-abortion screenings-only to deter them from getting abortions.”"
MomsDotGov was launched by the Department of Health and Human Services to provide resources for new and expecting mothers. The site is presented as a one-stop shop but does not include information about abortion or vaccines. It instead promotes Trump-branded content such as Trump accounts and TrumpRx. The website also directs women to crisis pregnancy centers that use misleading tactics, offering free services like counseling and pre-abortion screenings to deter people from obtaining abortions. The broader approach is framed as part of a pronatalist agenda that encourages procreation while systemically endangering pregnant people’s health and safety.
