Texas officials are challenging a recent order from President Biden's administration that would allow schools to distribute birth control to teenagers without parental consent.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Thursday that his office is suing the Biden administration over their 2021 change to Title X guidelines banning parental consent requirements for birth control services.

"By attempting to force Texas healthcare providers to offer contraceptives to children without parental consent, the Biden Administration continues to prove they will do anything to implement their extremist agenda — even undermine the Constitution and violate the law," Paxton said in a statement.

The Texas legal battle began in Dec. 2021 when US District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk ruled that Title X — the federal program that provides free, confidential contraception to anyone regardless of age, income or immigration status —  violates parental rights and violates state and federal laws.

The case was argued by former solicitor general of Texas Jonathan Mitchell, representing father Alex Deanda, who said he was "raising each of his daughters in accordance with Christian teaching on matters of sexuality, which requires unmarried children to practice abstinence and refrain from sexual intercourse until marriage."

In response, the federal government updated guidelines to state that Title X projects "may not require consent of parents or guardians for the provision of services to minors, nor can any Title X project staff notify a parent or guardian before or after a minor has requested and/or received Title X family planning services."

Paxton is now seeking a permanent injunction on this rule, which he claims defies the findings of the federal court.

Paxton filed the lawsuit in a federal court in Amarillo. It will likely be heard by Kacsmaryk, the same judge who previously ruled parents must be informed of birth control provided to their children.

American gymnast Simone Biles looks more than ready to represent Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Biles, the most decorated gymnast of all time, gave an early look at what fans – and competitors – can expect to see from her when the women’s gymnastics qualification rounds begin this weekend.

During podium training at Bercy Arena on Thursday, Biles nailed her signature Yurchenko double pike vault – a complex and difficult vault named after Biles in 2023 after she became the first female gymnast to land it during international competition.

USA Gymnastics shared a video of Biles’ "unreal" vault, in which she walked off the mats smiling after sticking the landing. 

"Is she even human," one person wrote on social media in response to the slo-mo of Biles’ vault. "She is amazing." 

According to NBC Sports, the vault has a skill rating of 6.4 because of the difficulty in landing it. This means if Biles is able to repeat Thursday’s performance in competition, it could easily put her in medal contention.

"We're all breathing a little bit better right now. I'm not gonna lie," gymnastics coach Cecile Landi said of Biles after Thursday’s session, via the Olympics website. 

"The whole team, you know, [the vibe] is bright. It's the Olympic Games... The rings are everywhere, you know? So we feel much better. The girls feel good. We feel good."

On the eve of the Games opening ceremony, a confident Biles is a reassuring sight for Team USA fans. 

Biles' last showing in the Olympic Games came to an unfortunate end after she withdrew from competition following a bad bout of "the twisties." She pulled out of several competitions to focus on her mental health but still returned for the balance beam, where she would win bronze. 

Women’s gymnastics qualifying rounds begin Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET.
