Democratic governors say proposed changes to federal grants would harm reproductive healthcare
Democratic governors and the governor of Guam submitted a joint comment opposing a proposed U.S. Office of Management and Budget rule that would overhaul federal grantmaking processes, arguing it threatens maternal health and reproductive care programs. The rule, which allows political appointees to influence grant decisions and criticizes past 'woke' policies, faces criticism for enabling unilateral grant terminations based on political considerations.
