Protecting Motherhood Act

Summary

The Protecting Motherhood Act bars any U.S. federal agency from using the phrase “birthing person” in regulations, guidance, forms, or other official documents. Instead, agencies must refer to pregnant individuals as “female,” “woman,” “mother,” or “pregnant woman.” The measure reflects the sponsor’s view that these terms are more appropriate for describing pregnant people.
