Summary

The Trump administration abruptly terminated federal grants supporting teen pregnancy prevention programs. This action removes funding from evidence-based public health initiatives across multiple states.

IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING

Monitor for pattern of broader public health funding cuts; no immediate constitutional action needed.

Why This Score
