Platform: TIKTOK Author: @spencewuah --- Caption/Description --- apparently affordable healthcare is no controversial @Planned Parenthood #fyp --- Audio Transcript (What was said) --- You wanna know what's genuinely fascinating to me? The same people constantly screaming about protecting children are somehow the same people advocating against children learning about sex education, consent, contraceptives, STDs, STD prevention, birth control, gender identity, their own body, literally basic health care information. Like, girl, what exactly is the long term plan here? Because removing education while simultaneously removing health care access, that feels less like morality and more like you're trying to accelerate societal collapse. I was recently reading about how access to healthcare has been shrinking across parts of the country, and the numbers are honestly terrifying. Breast exams are dropping, STI testing is declining, people are losing access to birth control, health centers are shutting down. And what I find deeply disturbing about all of this is that people reduce this entire conversation down to one word abortion. Meanwhile, reproductive health care also includes cancer screenings, PAP tests, STI testing, prenatal care, mental health services, birth control, hormone therapy, general health care visits. And then I saw lawmakers and commentators are calling falling teen pregnancy rates a crisis. Crisis? Falling teen pregnancy rates is a crisis? Do you even hear yourselves? So you mean to tell me that more education, more access to contraception, and more informed choices resulted in fewer teen pregnancies? Oh, my god, this. This can't be happening. Somebody call the Pentagon and tell them that teenagers are learning what cause and effect is. Hello? And another thing that disturb me are These crisis pregnancy centers, and they're basically fake health clinics that present themselves as actual medical centers.

Claims analyzed (6)

  1. mostly true: This video was posted by @spencewuah on TikTok.
    The video is directly attributed to the creator's official TikTok account and has been cross-posted to other platforms like YouTube in June 2026.
  2. verified: The U.S. federal government invests over $175 million annually in abstinence-only-until-marriage programs.
    This figure is frequently cited by reproductive health advocacy groups and researchers to describe the total annual federal investment across multiple funding streams, including Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) and Title V grants.
  3. verified: As of 2024, more than 2,600 anti-abortion pregnancy centers (CPCs) operate in the United States.
    The Crisis Pregnancy Center Map and AP News both confirmed that as of 2024, there were approximately 2,633 CPCs operating in the U.S.
  4. verified: Crisis pregnancy centers are typically not bound by federal privacy protections like HIPAA.
    HIPAA only applies to 'covered entities' that bill health insurance electronically. Because most CPCs provide services for free and do not bill insurance, they are not legally required to follow HIPAA privacy rules.
  5. verified: The Trump administration notified 46 states and territories to remove gender ideology content from sex education materials.
    In August 2025, the HHS under the Trump administration issued letters to 46 states and territories demanding the removal of 'gender ideology' from Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) materials.
  6. mostly true: There was a 6% reduction in emergency contraception kits dispensed or sold in December.
    A December 2025 report from Senator Elizabeth Warren titled 'The Defund Disaster' explicitly cited a 6% reduction in emergency contraception kits dispensed or sold following federal funding restrictions.
