Trump kills teen pregnancy prevention grants out of nowhere

Original version ·

Just when health departments and universities thought they had figured out how to jump through the new administration's hoops, the rug got pulled.

Local health departments, universities, and charities spent months meticulously reshaping their teen pregnancy prevention programs to fit the Trump administration's executive orders. It was a mountain of bureaucratic gymnastics, but they did it.

Then, out of nowhere, the federal government just axed the grants entirely. No warning, no gradual phase-out, just a sudden drop.

The best way to prevent teen pregnancy, apparently, is to make sure nobody has the budget to talk about it.
