Life & Work
The bill uses inclusive language throughout ("pregnant and postpartum individuals") and requires data disaggregation by gender, which could help capture maternal health outcomes for transgender and nonbinary people who may become pregnant. This is a minor but notable inclusion in federal maternal health policy.
