AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Life.Gov Act," requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a website called "life.gov" that serves as a clearinghouse of resources for pregnant women. The website will allow users to search for relevant resources within their zip code, provide feedback on the website's usefulness, and consent to further outreach by the Secretary. The bill also establishes a grant program for states to create or support systems to aggregate relevant resources based on criteria developed by the Secretary. The website and grant program are funded through existing Department of Health and Human Services and social services programs, and the bill prohibits the listing of any "prohibited entity" that performs or refers for abortions. The bill defines various terms, including "relevant resources," "prohibited entity," and "unborn child."
