Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., speaks during a news conference on the border, Feb. 15, 2023, on Capitol Hill in Washington. Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., introduced a bill that would create pregnancy.gov, a federal website with resources for pregnant women and mothers. The resources would exclude information from organizations that provide abortions.
Critics say the bill’s ambiguity poses data privacy concerns for the site’s users. The bill has also been criticized for excluding from the website’s resource list any information from organizations that offer abortions., says it would establish the government website pregnancy.gov as"a clearinghouse of relevant resources available for pregnant and postpartum women, and women parenting young children.
The bill prohibits information from organizations, including any affiliates, subsidiaries, successors and clinics, that"perform, induce, refer for, or counsel in favor of abortions, or provide financial support to any other organization that conducts such activities." Davidson said it’s"very concerning to me" that this bill would have"women who are pregnant, who are considering their options, hand over their information and just the fact that they are pregnant to a government database. Where does that information go?""The website would create a ‘database’ of user contact information that could be used for ‘outreach via phone or email,’" Watts told PolitiFact.
The bill would create pregnancy.gov, a website designed as a clearinghouse of information and resources for pregnant women. It would bar information from organizations that provide abortions.
