Senators demand removal of Moms.gov website promoting anti-abortion facilities
Eleven U.S. senators have urged the Trump administration to take down Moms.gov, a federal website they say misleads pregnant women by directing them to unregulated anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers.
A group of 11 senators, including Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer, Ron Wyden, and Tammy Duckworth, sent a letter to Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy demanding the immediate removal of the federal website Moms.gov. Launched on Mother's Day by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the site claims to be a resource for new and expecting mothers.
In the letter first reported by HuffPost, the senators criticized the site for "directing pregnant women to unregulated and often non-medical anti-abortion facilities known as crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs)," raising concerns about health, safety, and privacy at a time when reproductive rights face increasing attacks. Since the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturned the federal right to abortion, 21 states have banned or severely restricted access to abortion.
The lawmakers wrote that instead of offering concrete resources to protect pregnant women, the Trump administration is using the website to highlight anti-abortion CPCs. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) defines CPCs as facilities that pose as legitimate reproductive healthcare clinics but aim to dissuade people from accessing abortion and even contraception. ACOG notes that CPC staff have no legal obligation to provide accurate information and are not subject to HIPAA privacy rules.
A Government Accountability Office report estimated that between 2,400 and 2,800 CPCs were operating in the U.S. in 2025, with most funding coming from private sources and a few receiving federal funds.
Senators demanded that HHS remove the pregnancy center link from Moms.gov and stop using federal resources to direct people to CPCs. They also requested answers about how the website was created. The White House and HHS did not immediately respond to requests for comment. This letter follows a similar one sent earlier this month by dozens of House Democrats.
