Complete Victory Against the Trump Administration’s Attempt to Redirect Funds Toward Abstinence-Only Programs

The Trump administration just suffered another major defeat of its efforts to shift funding from evidence-based Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program grants toward unproven, abstinence-only programs.

By dropping its appeal of an Oregon federal court’s ruling that the Department of Health and Human Services flouted congressional mandates by issuing unlawful new criteria for prospective Teen Pregnancy Program grantees, the Trump administration conceded defeat in the case we and Pacifica Law Group brought on behalf of Multnomah County, Oregon.
