(Harbinger’s Daily)—For constitutional law enthusiasts, March Madness does not begin to touch the June jubilance, dismay, and suspense at the United States Supreme Court. People who monitor the events at the highest court in the land wait months for a brief window in June when the most controversial and far-reaching decisions are finally released to our citizenry.
The Supreme Court’s decisions matter. These judicial decrees trickle down and touch our everyday lives, activities and freedoms. The decisions impact the education of our children, parental rights, freedom of speech and thought, rights of conscience, the protection of children born and preborn, and how we operate our churches, ministries, religious schools, businesses, even our livelihoods.
For example, most Americans who receive a paycheck have tax dollars withdrawn and paid to the government. And most believers would be livid to find that their hard-earned tax dollars were going to organizations that intentionally terminate innocent lives in the womb or to the second-largest distributer of gender transition drugs. South Carolina decided those organizations, like Planned Parenthood, were not eligible for tax dollars.
Planned Parenthood sued the state, and in familiar fashion Alliance Defending Freedom came to the state’s aid. The case landed at the U.S. Supreme Court. ADF appellant attorney John Bursch, who argued his 12th case at the high court in Medina v. Planned Parenthood, winsomely defended South Carolina. The Court set the state free to make their own decisions about qualifying Medicaid providers, and as a result, the state does not have to fund Planned Parenthood. Now the funds can benefit nearly 200 other clinics in the state that actually provide health care.
In mid-June, in a landmark decision called U.S. v. Skrmetti, the court held that the state of Tennessee can protect children from what is likely the largest medical scandal and deception in our nation’s history: experimentation with dangerous gender transition drugs and genital surgery. Children in Tennessee and nearly 25 other states are now safe from this harmful practice.
