US EditionA judge has blocked a Trump administration effort to change teen pregnancy prevention programs
The ruling halts restrictions on federal teen pregnancy prevention grants after Planned Parenthood affiliates argued the policy conflicted with Congress-established program requirements.
- On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell blocked the administration from enforcing new requirements on federal teen pregnancy prevention grant recipients, a win for three Planned Parenthood affiliates in California, Iowa and New York.

- Planned Parenthood affiliates argued directives conflicted with program requirements and were vague; administration cited concerns over taxpayer-funded content.
