The document listed more than 150 research projects under consideration for termination by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It covered grants funded by the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation, which says it “builds evidence to improve lives” by helping policymakers evaluate programs that help low-income children and families.

“These grants are aimed at learning how to make programs more effective at pursuing goals like healthy child development, reducing abuse and neglect and promoting economic self-sufficiency,” said Naomi Goldstein, who led the office for nearly two decades before she retired in 2022. “It’s hard to see why they would want to cancel these efforts.”

The information was mistakenly included in an email sent Wednesday to grant recipients at universities and nonprofits by an HHS employee, who asked them to review and update their contact information.

"for the children" has always been a bullshit flag and it always will be.

Why did this get upvoted? The programs highlighted are literally for children and actually do things to unambiguously help children.

Right. Which is why Republicans want to get rid of them. Any time they say they're pro-life or pro-family, they're lying, as we see here.

The comment calls out republican hypocrisy, particularly about their “pro-life” stance on abortion but after that child is born, worse than not caring about said child republicans promote policies that will harm them.
