The Trump administration has launched an online resource hub for new and expectant mothers. The majority of pregnancy centers that the website recommends in Arizona do not offer abortion services.
The hub is called Moms.gov. On the front page, users can search for a recommended pregnancy center near them.
Twenty Arizona locations are listed. Some of the Arizona locations offer medical services, but most do not offer abortion services. Instead, they provide counseling or religious guidance.
None of the Planned Parenthood locations in the state are on the list despite also offering pregnancy-related services.
In a statement, the head of Planned Parenthood Arizona says the administration is sending users to so-called “crisis” pregnancy centers, which “have a well-documented history of using deceptive practices.”
The Department of Health and Human Services said in a statement that it’s a part of a “pro-life, pro-family administration.”
