Pregnancy.Gov Act
Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This bill requires HHS to create a federal website, pregnancy.gov, as a ZIP-code searchable clearinghouse of pregnancy- and parenting-related resources. States are invited to supply vetted resource lists; certain entities that perform, refer for, or counsel in favor of abortions are barred from being listed or receiving grants.
Progressives emphasize censorship risks and Title X fund diversion
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill provides a reasonably well-specified statutory framework to establish a national pregnancy resource website and a state-supported aggregation/grant mechanism.

The law would authorize up to $50 million from specified programs for state grants (FY2026–2030), require reporting to Congress, and mandate multilingual access and centralized Office of the Secretary oversight.
Technically narrow but ideologically loaded; controversy over excluding abortion providers, funding sources, and potential legal challenges reduce overall prospects.

Why the argument around this bill splits.
Progressives emphasize censorship risks and Title X fund diversion
Views the centralized resource idea as potentially useful but is likely to oppose key provisions.
The explicit ban on listing or funding entities that provide or refer for abortions, use of Title X and PREP funds, and mandated content (e.g., abortion risks, abortion-pill reversal) raise concerns about restricting access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare and inserting ideological content.
Sees practical value in a single, accessible portal of pregnancy resources but has reservations about implementation and neutrality.
Concerns focus on the exclusionary definition of prohibited entities, potential repurposing of existing public-health funds, and ensuring medically accurate, nonpartisan content.
Likely supportive because the bill directs federal resources toward pregnancy support, explicitly excludes abortion providers, and promotes alternatives to abortion.
Centralized oversight and grants to states align with goals to expand non‑abortion pregnancy services and outreach.
