iI have not worked it out yet. Perhaps some of our more talented members could suggest the best words???
For those of you who have not seen one of today's more insane little tidbits, that nutcase from Alabama, katie britt (remember her state of the union response?) has introduced a bill called the MOMS Act (More Opportunities for Moms to Succeed), which would essentially create a federal data base of pregnant people. She has been excoriated, laughed at, ridiculed all over the internet today (including the cringe-worthy video, which has not been posted on DU yet).

Many of us here remember Elsie, the Borden cow mascot.

(44,184 posts)What is bad about this bill is not what everyone is claiming it does, but doesn't. It's that it would create a central clearinghouse where pregnant women could get pre- and post-natal information and would provide grants for organizations that provide pregnancy-related information. It even requires such information be provided in multiple languages. That would actually be a good thing, but it isn't a good thing in this bill because the bill bars pregnancy-related information information or grants from being provided to any entity, including such entity's affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, and clinics, that performs, induces, refers for, or counsels in favor of abortions, or provides financial support to any other organization that conducts such activities.

(119,109 posts)first read about this insanity earlier today mentioned it, but I have not seen it. It was said to be even more cringe-worthy than her SOTU histrionics.
