Litigation Content

Why this Matters:

Plaintiffs argue that defendants’ notice under the Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Program requiring grantees to demonstrate alignment with President Trump’s executive orders and follow other vague restrictions related to “gender ideology” and “discriminatory equity ideology” violates the Administrative Procedure Act by being inconsistent with the Fifth and Fifth Amendments of the Constitution and usurping Congress’ Article I legislative powers. Plaintiffs receive federal funds under the TPP Program, a program established and funded by Congress since 2010 to educate adolescents about sexual and reproductive health.

Potential Impact:

Terminating federal funds under the TPP Program would limit grantees’ ability to offer these educational services and continue efforts to improve the health and well-being of program participants.
