The purpose of this legislation, known as the Protect Moms From Domestic Violence Act, is to investigate how intimate partner violence and other forms of abuse affect the health of pregnant and postpartum individuals. Specifically, it aims to study the risks of maternal morbidity (health complications) and mortality (death) linked to experiences of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other related issues. Key provisions of the Act include a mandate for the Secretary of Health and Human Services to collaborate with the National Academy of Medicine to conduct a comprehensive study.
