Can States Protect Children From Mutilation? SCOTUS Decides

On December 4, 2024, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) will hear oral arguments concerning Tennessee’s law which bans the so-called “gender transitioning” on children.

The bill effectively prohibits those in the healthcare sector from performing the so-called “gender transition” surgeries and hormonal procedures on children.

Tennessee’s Governor Bill Lee signed the legislation into law early in 2023 and it has since faced intense scrutiny, most especially due to how the legislation was conceived.

After an investigation into Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s gender transition procedures on children was conducted by The Daily Wire, it was exposed that the mutilation of children was being done due to it being a “big money maker.”

Since its implementation in July of 2023, the Biden administration, teenage plaintiffs and the ACLU came together to sue the state of Tennessee to stop the state from protecting children.

The case was blocked by a Tennessee district court last year, a few months later however, and the bill was upheld by a sixth circuit court. SCOTUS agreed to take up the case in June of 2024.

The case, United States v. Skrmetti, is the first of its kind to reach SCOTUS.

Tennessee’s Governor General Jonathan Skrmetti went on record stating:

“Lawmakers recognized that there is little to no credible evidence to justify the serious risks these procedures present to youth and joined a growing number of European countries in restricting their use on minors with gender-identity issues.”

Perspective

States have governed medical practices since the United States’ formation.

Licensing doctors and regulating medicine has always been in their purview, this includes restricting specific drugs within their borders.

This is the how Tennessee lawmakers passed the bill to stop the medical community from harming children through “gender transitioning” procedures.

At this time, there are more than 20 additional states that have passed similar bills to protect children from harm.

Conclusion

Thank God there are leaders in positions of authority who are taking action to protect vulnerable children from those who seek to exploit them!

This is what righteous laws look like, so it’s no surprise that there are those who fall in line with the antichrist agenda who are trying to remove it from the books!

This law came into place because the people of Tennessee took action and voted in individuals with values that uphold human life and dignity and we are now seeing the result of their vote!

And now, we wait for the oral arguments to take place tomorrow. Please pray that those representing this good law which protects children will have wisdom and that the wicked schemes and talking points of the enemy fall flat, in Jesus name.

Thank you for your support.
