Federal grant funding to Planned Parenthood cut over sexual explicit materials

July 12, 2026

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently cut a large amount of grant funding to dozens of organizations, including Planned Parenthood California Central Coast, because the organizations allegedly provide sexually explicit content to children.

The Central Coast Planned Parenthood group receives more than $2 million a year in grant funding, according to its tax filings. The nonprofit includes six locations – San Luis Obispo, Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Thousand Oaks and Oxnard.

In late June, the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health’s Office (OASH) sent 53 letters to organizations receiving grant funding for teen pregnancy prevention, terminating the funding.

“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,” according to a letter sent to one of the organizations, obtained by the Daily Signal.

The feds terminated 53 of 67 Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program grants.

Designed for children 14 and above, Planned Parenthood California Central Coast provides curriculum that includes a story of one teen trying to convince another teen to have sex. “I’m not feeling this is right for me…but I guess I should just get over it,” the other teen responds.

In another story, a celebrity interview discusses “exposure to abusive pornography beginning at age 11 and escalating to graphic, violent content by age 14,” according to the Daily Signal. The celebrity describes “being slapped, choked, thrown around.”

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is providing two new funding opportunities for organizations that offer teen pregnancy programs.

After terminating the earlier grants, health agency officials announced plans to allocate $63.4 million for organizations that “provide medically accurate and age-appropriate programs that reduce teen pregnancy and advance adolescent health by strengthening body literacy, informed consent, and optimal health through the replication of effective teen pregnancy prevention programs.”

Another $8.3 million in grant funds is for projects that “rigorously evaluate promising interventions that contribute to adolescent optimal health and preventing teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, behavioral risk factors underlying teen pregnancy, or other associated risk factors.”

And these people wonder why there are are so many sexual assaults and all that. But they can start new “programs” to help the victims they need to acknowledge they helped create. And the money circle goes on and on. My friend worked for a residential facility for developmentally disabled adults in Southern California. Guess what happened there when, guided by the policy of “it’s normal for adults to have access to pornographic materials,” staff was ordered to provide some, including online access? Oh so many assaults, that’s what! From zero to highly dangerous. What a surprise.


“SLO Planned Parenthood bridges funding gap and strikes a deal with local drycleaners for ….”


I never was a believer in taxpayer funded, avoid your consequences. There are numbers of soft reasons to fund every stay safe program but that too has a detrimental consequence. Old school learning started with people being trained early on, by their parents, once you are an adult you are on your own.


According to CDC, “California’s teen birth rate has plummeted to a record low of about 8.7 to 9.2 births per 1,000 young women ages 15–19. This represents an 85% decline since 1995, falling well below the national average and ranking among the lowest in the United States.”


And planned parenthood, by providing teens with services such as contraception and, gasp, sex education, has played an important role in this decline. By gutting Planned Parenthood, the Trump administration is consigning many young girls to unwanted pregnancy and a life of either living an unhappy marriage or raising kids alone with taxpayer assistance.


Your claim to give PP credit for this is a bit of a stretch. PP’s been around since 1916; were they just f*cking around until 1996 or what?…

ESPECIALLY if those children belong to certain racial groups. If you were a black baby in the womb, you have four times the chance of being aborted than white babies. Sanger would have approved.


Cut it all


I’ll put this in terms that PP and it’s sick worshippers will wholly understands, WE THE PEOPLE want a full and complete DNC performed on PP for a full termination of it’s tax funded existence.


Be gone, you insidious entity.


Not to be picky but I assume you mean D&C?


Hmm…either way, it fits!


Both are accepted references. You’re welcome for the lesson.


39% of PP comes from Government reimbursement for health services performed.

They are not going away.
