Baltimore City is joining a lawsuit against the Trump administration to save federal funding for a teen-pregnancy prevention program. Officials say the funding is being cut without any explanation two years early.
City officials said they have received no clear explanation for the cutoff of the grant funding. The same thing is happening nationwide. The city's program does involve birth control.
In fact, birth control is anything but a taboo phrase at the Baltimore City Health Department. It offers free condoms in its lobby.
Since 2015, the department has been using a federal grant to teach birth control and other measures to prevent teen pregnancy to middle and high students. But, that grant is being ended two years early by the Trump Administration's Health and Human Services Agency.

I didn't need training on how not to get pregnant. Your parents are responsible for teaching you right from wrong. Why should MD taxpayers foot the bill for prevention of pregrancy.
ReplyDeleteAll I can do is keeping watching that place swirl the bowl.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if they don't send 60 buses to Washington they will have funds for this program.
ReplyDeleteWhy try to prevent teen pregnancy? It is easier to pay for the babies with welfare and then put them in jail after they grow up.
