HHS Launches Moms.gov, Steering Mothers to Pregnancy Centers as Title X Overhaul Looms

Moms.gov went live on Mother’s Day with HHS branding and a prominent link to Option Line, a locator for local pregnancy centers aimed at new and expecting mothers.
Option Line urges pregnant people to reconsider abortion and ask about possible harms from the procedure, even though decades of research show abortion is safe.
The site also offers nutritional guidance and links to open $1,000 Trump accounts for children, while HHS says the listed pregnancy centers and federally qualified health centers provide supportive services.
At least $34 million in federal funds went to 16 such facilities from 2018 to 2024, and the administration proposed in April to remake Title X away from contraception-centered family planning.
