Planned Parenthood Sues Trump Admin for Cutting Funding to Radical Sex Ed Programs

Claire Chretien : Feb 20, 2018  LifeSiteNews.com

"Three of the [TPP] programs actually had negative effects" and increased sexual initiation, pregnancy, or oral sex, Mosack explained. They were "not effective" yet "we spent almost a billion dollars on those programs during the Obama administration."

The Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program (TPP) began under President Obama. It's an "evidence-based program that funds diverse organizations working to prevent teen pregnancy across the United States."

But the Trump administration's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is ending TPP two years early. Planned Parenthood-America's largest abortion vendor-and several other TPP grant recipients are suing over losing grant money.

A Colorado organization that received $749,900 in annual funding from the TPP advocates for "youth" having access to "safe, legal, and confidential reproductive and sexual health services... including abortion."

This organization, Colorado Youth Matter, supports "LGBT inclusive sex ed" instructing children about homosexuality and transgenderism starting in kindergarten.

Another grantee, the Baltimore-based Healthy Teen Network, received an annual $723,000.

Mary Anne Mosack, the Executive Director of the advocacy group Ascend, told LifeSiteNews it isn't enough to teach kids about contraception and consent to try to reduce risks.

"It's important that we eliminate risk rather than simply reduce it," she said. "I commend HHS for actually ending programs that don't work and re-assessing so that we can get this right ... the bottom line has to be the health of the youth"...
