Senator Murray Highlights Teen Pregnancy Prevention Efforts Following Court Decision Against Trump-Pence Administration's Attempt to Terminate Grant for King County Program

Statement

Today, U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), ranking member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP), released a statement following a federal court ruling that blocked the Trump-Pence Administration's efforts to revoke grants in the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program:

"Time and again, Congress has come together with bipartisan support for evidence-based investments to reduce teen pregnancy. I'm glad that despite the Trump-Pence Administration's alarming attempts to undermine these important investments and other efforts to promote the health and wellbeing of women and youths, King County can continue its work to reduce teen pregnancy and provide new research on how we get young people the information they need to make healthy decisions and plan for their futures."
