The GQP stands firmly against a federal database for gun owners but a database that tracks pregnant women, which can potentially lead to prosecuting women who have abortions, works out just fine in Senator Katie Britt’s (Fascist-Alabama) world.
The bill, the More Opportunities for Moms to Succeed Act (MOMS Act), would mandate the creation of a federal website called Pregnancy.gov, which Britt calls a “clearinghouse of relevant resources available for pregnant and postpartum women, and women parenting young children.”
“This legislation is further evidence that you can absolutely be pro-life, pro-woman, and pro-family at the same time,” Britt said. “The MOMS Act advances a comprehensive culture of life, grows and strengthens families, and ensures moms have the opportunities and resources needed so they and their children can thrive and live their American Dreams.”
The database would refer users to so-called “crisis pregnancy centers”; fake clinics that do not actually provide women with healthcare, but rather use deception and coercion to scare women away from getting an abortion, even if it necessary for their own health. The bill also establishes a federal grant program to fund these fake, Fundie Freak centers and deny any funding to any real healthcare centers and organizations that provides or refers for abortions.
The bill specifically forbids any entity that “performs, induces, refers for, or counsels in favor of abortions” from being listed in the database. This would eliminate almost every actual healthcare facility from being listed in the federal database, or pressure doctors away from making necessary healthcare referrals for fear of having their facility removed.
