White House Launches Moms.gov to Court 2026 Mothers as Trump Pushes Fertility Agenda
1 articles · Updated · ms.now · May 12
Moms.gov went live on Mother’s Day and was promoted Monday as a federal “one-stop” hub for pregnancy, parenting and fertility resources, with Trump calling himself the “father of fertility.”
The site targets mothers as a key political constituency for 2026 and 2028 while advancing a pronatalist message aimed at reversing falling U.S. fertility rates.
Its homepage omits the words abortion and contraception, yet links users to anti-abortion pregnancy centers, promotes fertility-awareness methods and foregrounds parental “conscience” rights on vaccines.
IVF was touted at the press event, but the homepage instead steers users toward TrumpRx and offers little on paid leave or working motherhood, reinforcing a broader family-first, anti-feminist framing.
