Administration claims website is resource for ‘new and expecting mothers’ but group of senators says it raises ‘profound’ health and safety

Anna Betts at The Guardian:

A group of 11 senators have sent a letter to Donald Trump and Robert F Kennedy urging them to remove a federal website and “cease using federal resources to direct people to anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers”. On Mother’s Day this year, the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) launched Moms.gov, a resource they claim is for “new and expecting mothers” and “offers guidance and information to support the health and wellbeing of mothers and their families”. The administration said the site “supports expecting parents who are navigating difficult or unexpected pregnancies” and “features information about pregnancy centers, federally qualified health centers, nutritional guidance”.

In their Wednesday letter, senators – including Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer, Ron Wyden and Tammy Duckworth – criticized the site and noted that it “directs pregnant women to unregulated and often non-medical anti-abortion facilities known as crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs)”, which they said “raises profound concerns about the health, safety and privacy of people who access this government website at a time when women’s health and reproductive rights face increasing attacks”. “Since the US supreme court took away the fundamental right to abortion care in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization, 21 states have banned or severely restricted access to abortion, decimating access to care for tens of millions of people,” the lawmakers wrote in the letter, which was first reported by HuffPost. “Yet instead of offering concrete resources to protect the health and safety of pregnant women and their families, the Trump Administration is using this website to highlight anti-abortion CPCs.” The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) states: “CPC is a term used to refer to certain facilities that represent themselves as legitimate reproductive healthcare clinics providing care for pregnant people but actually aim to dissuade people from accessing certain types of reproductive health care, including abortion care and even contraceptive options.”

Staff members “at these unregulated and often non medical facilities have no legal obligation to provide pregnant people with accurate information and are not subject to HIPAA or required by law to maintain client confidentiality”, notes ACOG. While there is “no standard definition of a CPC” and “differing perspectives exist regarding their characteristics and total number”, a Government Accountability Office report from earlier this year estimated there were between 2,400 and 2,800 CPC’s operating in the US in 2025. The report also said that the majority of CPC funding comes from private sources, such as individuals and non-governmental organizations, while a few CPCs receive federal funding.

11 Democratic Senators sent a letter to Donald Trump and RFK Jr. urging them to remove the Option Line link from Moms.gov that promotes anti-abortion facilities deceptively named “crisis pregnancy centers.”

On the website’s landing page, a photo of a heavily pregnant white woman is cropped below the head, so that she is faceless, anonymous, cradling her massive belly underneath the skirt of her yellow dress. She appears to be standing in a field of tall grass, the kind you can get ticks in. The photo is flanked on either side by chubby infant footprints – one pair in pink, another in blue – a clear nod to the anti-abortion movement’s preferred symbol of what they call “precious feet”. A banner at the top declares that the site, “Moms.gov”, which was launched by the White House on Mother’s Day, offers “Resources, Information, and Help for New and Expecting Mothers”, and advertises that it is “addressing the needs of mothers and fathers who face difficult or unexpected pregnancies” – that is, those who would often seek abortions. In fact, the site does little besides link to Option Line, a referral network of Christian anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers run by the anti-abortion group Heartbeat International. The launch of Moms.gov was accompanied by an uncomfortable Oval Office press conference on Monday, in which members of the Trump administration and some of the more aggressively anti-choice Republican members of Congress gathered to tout the new website and cheer on the Trump administration’s pronatalist stance. Dr Mehmet Oz, the wellness influencer and one-time television personality who now holds a position in the Trump health department as the administrator for Medicare and Medicaid, lamented that Americans are, in his creepy personal parlance, “under-babied”. “One in three Americans are under-babied,” Oz asserted. “That means that you either don’t have any children or you have less children than you would normally want to have.” Oz asserted that the fertility rate has fallen below 1.5 (a Johns Hopkins study indicates that it is in fact a bit higher, and that the US population is not shrinking) and predicted a coming wave of “Trump babies”. [...] But the launch of the website, which features no mention of contraception or paid family leave, and only mentions abortion and childhood vaccination in terms of limits and exemptions, also reflects the Trump administration’s attempt to reconcile with an anti-abortion movement that has complained of feeling discarded or taken for granted in the post-Dobbs era. After the June 2022 Dobbs decision overturning Roe, when Republican-controlled states quickly banned abortion and sent waves of healthcare-seeking women fleeing across state lines to Democratic territories, Republicans saw worse-than-expected turnout in the fall midterm elections – a result that many attributed to outrage over the Dobbs decision and the chaos and suffering that it unleashed. [...] Moms.gov, meanwhile, provides little in the way of actual support for pregnant women. It links them, instead, to anti-choice crisis pregnancy centers, Christian organizations that pose as clinics in order to confuse and trap pregnant women who would otherwise seek abortions. Crisis pregnancy centers often provide pregnancy tests and even ultrasounds, but routinely overstate gestational age, misleading women into believing that they are past the legal limit for abortions, and frequently promise aid, like diapers or cribs, that is not forthcoming or turns out to be contingent upon religious education for expectant parents. They are not medical centers, and they are not reliable: they are meant to deceive women, to trick them into giving up control over their bodies and lives, and to condescend to them, treating them as resources to be extracted from rather than persons endowed with dignity and entitled to the truth. In that sense, they’re a decent metaphor for the Trump administration itself.

Excellent column from Moira Donegan at The Guardian on why the new Moms.gov website is a font for anti-abortion misinformation.

Life Themes and Option Lines in Action

Let's explore the dynamics of Life Themes and Option Lines working off each other, within the scope of our Life Chart. This topic emerges from a question sent in by Abby, "How can I know what my Life Themes are?"

Abby is referring to the Life Chart we wrote on the Other Side before coming into life. This Chart contains all the experiences we wanted to have during our lifetime, with the purpose of learning spiritual lessons. To this end, we have Themes in our Chart that are interwoven into our life. We choose two Themes; one is our primary Theme and one is our secondary which rubs against the first. This rub or friction, like a negative rubbing against a positive, is what creates the tests through which we learn.

There are several Themes listed in Sylvia Browne's books such as Adventures of a Psychic, and while reading over them, certain Themes will usually stand out to us that we resonate to as ours. An effective way Abby, to determine which Themes might be yours, reflect on your life and any repeating patterns, especially repeating patterns in your Option Line, will often point to your Life Themes.

An Option Line is an aspect of our Chart that is not filled in which means we have options. It also means pretty much anything can happen according to how we're doing with the lessons we've charted. If you don't know what your Option Line is, again, reflect on your life and one aspect will stand out to you, that has been the most difficult, whether it's: health, career, finances, family, spirituality or relationships. Relationships can include romantic relationships as well as social friendships and colleagues.

As an example, my primary Theme is Humanitarian, while my secondary Theme is Rescuer and my Option Line is relationships. This means I would get into relationships which grew into situations that weren't good for me. As a Humanitarian, I'm so drawn to helping people with their lives and feeling good about themselves and so forth. Then as a Rescuer who can go all in to a situation to save another person, I'd stay in these relationships, sacrificing myself to make the other person happy and be what they want of me, rather than thinking of my needs and what's good for myself.

This set up a repeating relationship pattern until I stopped placing other people's happiness over my own. As difficult as it was, I charted the perfect Themes and Option Line to learn high self-worth and to reclaim my personal power in relationships.

So Abby, you may want to look over the Themes in Sylvia Browne's book and reflect on your life. There should be an aspect that stands out to you as your Option Line and the repeating patterns lying within that aspect of your life, tend to point to your Themes.

Once we master our Life Themes, we can pick up new ones. Using my example, let's say I pick up a new Theme, it doesn't mean that opportunities for me to get into those types of relationships wouldn't come to me anymore. It means that even if those opportunities present themselves to me again, if I have truly mastered over that theme, I wouldn't go down that road to enter into relationships that weren't good for me anymore.

Tune into our May 2014 video where we share a few other examples of personal Option Lines and Life Themes...I hope it will help you discover yours!

Many blessings always,
