The nation's top public health agency is being forbidden to use seven words on any official document related to budget planning.  

The Trump Administration told the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week they are not allowed to use "vulnerable," "entitlement," "diversity," "transgender," "fetus," "evidence-based" and "science-based" on any document.  

The CDC did not give a reason as to why the words are being banned.
