The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services honored mothers this year by launching Moms.gov, a groundbreaking website for new and expecting mothers offering guidance and information to support the health and well-being of mothers and their families.Moms.gov also supports expecting parents who are navigating difficult or unexpected pregnancies. It features information about pregnancy centers, Federally Qualified Health Centers, nutritional guidance, Trump Accounts, and other resources that allow maternal and infant health to thrive.
"This Mother's Day, the Trump Administration is strengthening its commitment to America's families by equipping mothers and fathers with the resources and information they need to build healthy, prosperous lives," said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. "Moms.gov delivers critical tools and support to help parents foster healthy pregnancies, strengthen young families, and create brighter futures for their children. This is how you Make America Healthy Again."
Moms.Gov is an easy-to-navigate platform that features information on:
• Support Services and Health Centers (Pregnancy Centers and FQHCs). • Nutrition quick facts for mothers based on the Dietary Guideline for Americans. • Trump Accounts. • Trump Rx. • Resources for women and parents. • Preconception health. • Breastfeeding. • Mental health. • Adoption.
Father Tadeusz Pacholczyk, senior ethicist at the National Catholic Bioethics Center, told EWTN News the website “seems to be a creative use of government resources that strives to provide potentially useful information on a range of issues relevant to those who are pregnant or interesting in starting a family."
He said it “largely avoids direct promotion of abortion, contraception, and in vitro fertilization, though it does link to certain outside CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] website resources that promote condoms, spermicides, sterilization, and other forms of contraception.”
“Still, it is refreshing to see a government-curated website mentioning fertility awareness-based methods as a way of promoting preconception health and assisting in situations of apparent infertility,” Pacholczyk said.
The government’s stated aim is to Make America Healthy Again by “providing the chance for families to excel physically, mentally, and in their social and spiritual well-being. Moms.gov is an important new federal resource in support of that goal.”
