Judge: Planned Parenthood can ignore Trump's EO on gender ideology
Live Action News ^ | October 20, 2025 | Victoria Bergin

U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell has ruled that Planned Parenthood affiliates in California, Iowa, and New York do not have to comply with recent executive orders requiring them to affirm biological sex and discontinue the promotion of radical gender ideology and promiscuity in order to receive federal funding

Key Takeaways:

* Despite multiple Trump executive orders specifying otherwise, a district judge has ruled that certain Planned Parenthood affiliates in three states do not have to rid their sex ed curricula of radical gender ideology.

* The Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program has been shown in the past to have failed to prevent teen pregnancy, and may have actually increased sexual activity among teens.

The Details:

The aforementioned Planned Parenthood affiliates receive funding through the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program of the Office of Population Affairs. Earlier this year, the participants in this program were told they would have to comply with several executive orders to continue to receive funding. These orders included:

* Executive Order 14168: “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government”

* Executive Order 14190: “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling”

* Executive Order 14187: “Protecting Children From Chemical and Surgical Mutilation”

* Executive Order 14151: “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing”

* Executive Order 14173: “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity”

Planned Parenthood of Greater New York, Planned Parenthood of California Central Coast, and Planned Parenthood of the Heartland (Iowa) decided to push back on these orders and filed a lawsuit.

Howell claimed her reasoning for deciding in favor of the Planned Parenthood Affiliates was that “no indication that the new requirements in the July Policy Notice were the product of reasoned decision-making and analysis of evidence, with the sole source cited for the new requirements the general policy directions outlined in several recent EOs.”

So now judges get to decide who has to follow laws and executive orders on an individual basis? Good to freaking know…

She’s nuts, Jim. Any time there is a ridiculous ruling she is right in the middle of it. I think she likes to be overturned a lot.

BeeYoch is ugly inside and out. Hope she didn’t procreate.

She’ll be voted down bythe Supremes if it gets that far.

This seems laughable. Planned Parenthood doesn’t have to follow Trump’s EO, but those writing government checks to them do. Does Judge Howell know how the federal government operates and who decides federal policy?

“Unattractive” That is putting it lightly. She is just plain ugly. Looks like a guy with long hair and a necklace.

OK Fine.

PP is a private outfit. They don’t need to obey edicts.

Cut off the federal subsidy. I don’t like my taxes paying for something the government has no business sticking its nose into.

Berly is the worse Obama appointed DC judge of them all. She is a fanatic anti Trump maniac. She was the judge who ruled that J6 protesters were a danger to their community and ordered them held in pretrial detention. Despicable

Shrug. It’s Beryl Howell. Search FR for asinine rulings and you’ll find that Beryl Howell is probably involved.

It is mental illness which this “jurist” now affirms. Sickening.
