HHS policy on teen pregnancy grants struck down after Planned Parenthood challenge
A U.S. judge blocked the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Tuesday from enforcing a policy that would have required Planned Parenthood and other recipients of federal grants for teen pregnancy prevention to revise their programs to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive orders on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and transgender issues.

Targeting abortion providers isn't about stopping individual doctors, it's about stopping all providers of abortions w/ threats that they could be next.
While this threat is real, MD's lucky to have shielding laws 🛡️: laws that shield patients & providers from out-of-state warrants for legal care.

Learning about pregnancy in sex education should be age-appropriate, medically accurate, and include different experiences like IVF and surrogacy.
Here’s what that can look like for elementary, middle, and high school.

It's the anniversary of the Hyde Amendment & w/ nearly 50 years of denying abortion coverage to patients (disproportionally low-income patients, women of color, immigrant women) we're hopeful to one day see it gone. So ALL patients can get the care they need w/o financial barriers. #HealthCareForAll
The #EACHAct offers a bold vision: Ending the Hyde Amendment & guaranteeing abortion coverage for all—no matter how much someone earns, how they're insured or where they live.
Everyone deserves the right to make decisions about their health & futures without political interference. #ReproRights101
