Republicans have introduced a bill that would create a federal anti-abortion website that provides misleading information about abortion, directs women to health centers that pressure them not to have abortions, and could even collect their personal information to share with anti-abortion groups.
Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolinawhos viewed as one of the more moderate Republicans on the issue of abortionand Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida recently reintroduced the Standing with Moms Act, a bill that would create a life.gov website, which would contain information and resources related to pregnancy and adoption by ZIP code.
Among the resources the website would provide are pregnancy counseling, comprehensive information on alternatives to abortion, information about abortion risks (which are exceedingly low) and misleading information about conception and child development.
The bill would also ban the inclusion of any information or resources on the website from entities that perform, refer, or counsel on abortion care or provide financial support for it.
