Teresa Manning — an antiabortion activist in charge of the Health and Human Services Department’s family planning programs — resigned her post Friday, according to a department spokeswoman. Huber has served as chief of staff in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health since June. She was one of several antiabortion activists and leaders Trump has picked for key positions at the agency. Her replacement has long advocated for abstinence education. Huber managed Ohio’s abstinence program from 2004 to 2007 and subsequently led Ascend, a group initially founded as the National Abstinence Education Association.
