HR 8008 · Social Determinants for Moms Act

Cosponsor

No direct connectionCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: Working to ensure reproductive health care, including abortion care, is affordable, accessible, and stigma-free for all.

The cosponsored bill focuses on maternal health social determinants, grantmaking, and disparities such as transportation, food security, and economic security. It does not directly address abortion care or a specific mechanism for making reproductive health care affordable, accessible, or stigma-free. Because the supplied summary shows only a broad maternal-health initiative, a defensible comparison to the stated abortion-care access goal cannot be made.

“Legislation I'm working to ensure that reproductive health care, including abortion care, isn’t only legal, but affordable, accessible, and stigma-free for all.”

Official statement · Captured 2026-10-28

Supporting provisions

“Social Determinants for Moms Act This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish a task force and a grant program to address social determinants of maternal health.”
“These are nonmedical factors that impact maternal health outcomes, such as transportation, food security, and economic security.”
“The task force, composed of federal and nonfederal stakeholders, must develop strategies and coordinate efforts to eliminate preventable maternal mortality, severe maternal morbidity, and maternal health disparities.”
“Additionally, HHS must award grants to community-based organizations, nonprofits, tribal organizations, public health departments, or consortia of these entities to address social determinants of maternal health and eliminate disparities in maternal health outcomes.”

HR 1262 · Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act

Cosponsor

No direct connectionCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: Working to ensure reproductive health care, including abortion care, is affordable, accessible, and stigma-free for all.

The stated policy goal is about making reproductive health care, including abortion care, affordable, accessible, and stigma-free. The cosponsored bill is a pediatric drug research and FDA regulatory measure focused on rare pediatric diseases, pediatric study requirements, orphan drug exclusivity, and NIH pediatric research funding. It does not directly address reproductive health care, abortion access, affordability, or stigma, so there is no defensible direct connection to the specific policy goal.

“Legislation I'm working to ensure that reproductive health care, including abortion care, isn’t only legal, but affordable, accessible, and stigma-free for all.”

Official statement · Captured 2026-10-28

Opposing provisions

“Give Kids a Chance Act of 2025 This bill expands the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) authority with respect to research on rare pediatric diseases, including by permitting the FDA to take enforcement action against drug sponsors that fail to satisfy pediatric study requirements and by reauthorizing programs that support pediatric research.”
“Specifically, the bill modifies requirements relating to molecularly targeted pediatric cancer investigations to permit research on new drugs in combination with active ingredients that have already been approved, provided certain conditions are met; permits the FDA to take enforcement action against drug sponsors that fail to comply with pediatric study requirements, if such sponsors demonstrated a lack of due diligence in satisfying the requirement; renews the FDA’s authority to award priority review vouchers to sponsors of new products intended to treat rare pediatric diseases through September 30, 2029; and reauthorizes through FY2027 certain funding for the National Institutes of Health to support priority pediatric research.”
“The bill also provides statutory authority for the FDA’s interpretation of the orphan drug exclusivity period.”
“The bill specifies, consistent with FDA regulations, that the seven-year market exclusivity period for drugs for rare diseases or conditions (i.e., orphan drugs) prohibits the approval of the same drug for the same approved use or indication with respect to the disease or condition.”
“(In Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Becerra, a court rejected the FDA’s interpretation and held that orphan drug exclusivity extends to all uses or indications for the disease or condition.)”
