HHS Teen Grant Cuts Blocked by Judge | Boise News

HHS slashed 53 teen pregnancy prevention grants—some cut short—claiming programs didn’t match new priorities like avoiding normalization of sexual activity for minors. Three groups and an advocacy org sued, and a DC judge sided with them, halting HHS’s new grant plans while the case moves forward. But he’s unsure if those nearly $70 million already canceled can be restored, pending other legal matters. The agency’s replacement ideas—fertility tracking and “reproductive goals counseling”—are on hold until the court settles. The judge also noted HHS seems to be repeating past mistakes, and the administration may appeal. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
