RFK Jr. Delivers Major Blow to Planned Parenthood by Canceling Federal Grants Over Explicit Content Pushed on Children * The Gateway Pundit * by Cassandra MacDonald

According to a report from the Daily Signal, the Department of Health and Human Services notified dozens of organizations, including multiple Planned Parenthood affiliates, that their federal grants were being terminated.
The rationale centers on the groups’ promotion of sexually explicit materials to children under the guise of education or prevention programs.
The Daily Signal reports:
The Department of Health and Human Services on Friday notified more than 50 organizations, including Planned Parenthood affiliates, that they will no longer receive teen pregnancy prevention grants after pushing “sexually explicit” content on kids.
The agency sent letters to several Planned Parenthood affiliates, state and local health departments, university systems, and nonprofits notifying them of the termination of Teen Pregnancy Prevention program grants. The grantees included Planned Parenthood California Central Coast; Planned Parenthood of The Heartland Inc.; the Wisconsin Department of Health; the Maryland Department of Health; the Baltimore City Health Department; the Oklahoma City-County Health Department; the Public Health Authority of Cabarrus County, North Carolina; and Hennepin County, Minnesota.
The Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health’s Office of Population Affairs provides grants to organizations that promote teen pregnancy prevention, as well as organizations that write teen pregnancy prevention curricula. But HHS determined that many of the organizations were using curricula that are “medically inaccurate,” “age-inappropriate,” and “sexually explicit,” violating the statute that established the program.
“After a review of all curricular content, OASH believes that some curricula normalize adolescent sexual activity and are not age appropriate, as they contain overly sexually explicit or pornographic content that is not necessary to achieve the TPP program’s statutory mission,” a letter sent to one of the programs losing their funding, obtained by the Daily Signal, reads.
“As a result, OASH is adjusting its discretionary Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Program award portfolio, which includes the decision not to renew some of its TPP Program awards in order to better prioritize agency resources towards the above-mentioned priorities,” the letter continues.
This aligns with broader efforts by the Trump administration and RFK Jr. to refocus federal health policy away from ideological experiments and back toward genuine public health concerns.
Planned Parenthood receives substantial taxpayer-funded support through programs like Title X while also operating as a major political player.
As The Gateway Pundit reported this week, Planned Parenthood’s Super PAC, Planned Parenthood Votes, has allocated $47 million towards influencing the midterms.
The money bomb announcement came just days after the expiration of a one-year provision in President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act that had temporarily barred Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid reimbursements for non-abortion services.
That measure, signed into law last year, had forced the closure or consolidation of dozens of clinics and cut off hundreds of millions in federal dollars, proving once and for all that the organization heavily relies on taxpayer dollars, despite its primary role being performing hundreds of thousands of abortions annually.
With the ban now lifted as of early July, Planned Parenthood has regained access to those funds and is channeling significant resources into ensuring pro-abortion politicians regain or maintain power to protect and expand that pipeline.
While federal law under the Hyde Amendment prohibits direct taxpayer funding for abortions, organizations like Planned Parenthood receive substantial Medicaid dollars for other services, effectively subsidizing their operations and allowing them to redirect other resources toward abortion procedures and political advocacy.
