There is currently a government website for abortion resources, ReproductiveRights.gov. The site routes women to AbortionFinder.org, telling visitors that it can assist with obtaining "abortion funds." The site provides information on rights to abortions, where to find legal help, and points them towards the Justice Department's Reproductive Rights Task Force.

Pregnancy.gov would be "a clearinghouse of relevant resources available for pregnant and postpartum women, and women parenting young children," per the bill. The site would ask for a woman's zip code in order to find local resources and populate them for her. It would additionally include "a mechanism for users to take an assessment through the website and provide consent to use the user’s contact information, which the [Department of Health and Human Services secretary] may use to conduct outreach via phone or email to follow up with users on additional resources that would be helpful for the users to review."
