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

Why this Matters:

Plaintiffs argue that the Health and Human Services (HHS) notice to 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.
