To celebrate Mother’s Day, the Trump administration launched the website moms.gov, presenting it as an effort to provide resources for new and expectant mothers. The site’s stated mission is “ensuring the well-being of mothers and the health of American families.” Information on the website ranges from details about breastfeeding to maternal mental health and nutrition — and directs women to crisis pregnancy centers, which often seek to dissuade women from choosing abortion.
Trump has long attempted to position himself as a family-friendly president. At a Women’s History Month event, President Donald Trump highlighted his record on women’s health, including support for in vitro fertilization, saying he’ll one day be known as the “fertilization president.” At the same time, his administration’s proposal for Title X clinics would elevate a practice that would discourage IVF.
