Planned Parenthood of Greater New York et al. v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services et al.

Docket No.
1:25-cv-01334
District Court
District of Columbia

Goal

  • Declaration that new requirements are unlawful
  • Enjoin administration / enforcement of government actions
  • Open "amendment" application period for grants
  • Stay implementation of new requirements

Issues

Why this Matters:

Plaintiffs argue that the Health and Human Services (HHS) notice grantees to demonstrate “alignment with current Presidential Executive Orders” violates the Administrative Procedure Act and usurps Congress’ Article I legislative powers. Plaintiffs are awarded continuing grants under the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program, a program established by Congress that has been federally funded since 2010. The Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program funds organizations that work to educate adolescents about sexual and reproductive health.

Potential Impact:

Terminating federal funding for grantees providing education about adolescence and reproductive health would roll back improvements in sexual and reproductive health outcomes, increase teen pregnancy, and increase sexually transmitted infections.
