...tucked away in a letter from the Department of Health and Human Services dated July 3, bad news arrived: The Trump administration had slashed more than $200 million from the program without warning — meaning funding would now end in June 2018, not in 2020.

5. The same ones who are against abortion rights, are always rabidly opposed to birth control programs

One of two things explains it:

either a) they're such idiots they can't see the cognitive dissonance and sheer absurdity of such a stance;

or b) they're in favor of anything that will assure a massive underclass for decades to come.

9. There's another one that goes with both:

c) they're against the female orgasm-because they've never been able to cause one.

10. I don't doubt it.

One can't be selfish, and be good in the sack.

American Taliban. Keep them barefoot, submissive. and forever pregnant. They need future laborers (aka slaves) to perform all the menial tasks once all the "illegals" are deported. So extremely vile!

13. Worst person in the world!

He's got the title for life now. Seriously, is there any evil thing he won't do? There is absolutely nothing in this world that helps the working class that he's in favor of. He hates the constitution, judiciary, All Democrats, every state that didn't vote for him, public education, clean air and water laws, healthcare, voting rights, the list just goes on and on.

14. So the children of Dump voters kids will never learn who babies are made.

These are kids that are horribly vulnerable to pregnancy and STD's because their schools won't teach basic human biology.

Teen pregnancy had been cut in half over the past 15 years ... now? The POS in the WH is ensuring another generation of oppression and devoid of education. The Rethugs must be sooooo proud.

15. The hate administration

16. "Many hail an evidence-based, Obama-era federal grant program as the biggest driver behind the dip"

I just want to scream!!



Trump Administration Abruptly Cuts Funding to Teen Pregnancy Prevention Programs

Some of the junior high students in Travis County, Texas, break into nervous laughter at the mere mention of sex. Some shyly ask questions.
....................................................

But the Lone Star state, like the rest of the country, has experienced a marked drop in teen pregnancies. Last year, teenage births hit a record low in the United States; rates plummeted the most for black and Latina teens, the CDC found, although they're still up to three times as likely as their white counterparts to give birth.

Many hail an evidence-based, Obama-era federal grant program as the biggest driver behind the dip. Started in 2010, the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program gives $89 million a year to 81 organizations across the United States, including EngenderHealth.

It was renewed in 2015 for another five years.

That's why it was so surprising to Maciel and others when, tucked away in a letter from the Department of Health and Human Services dated July 3, bad news arrived: The Trump administration had slashed more than $200 million from the program without warning — meaning funding would now end in June 2018, not in 2020. .............................
