Supreme Court Upholds Parental Authority and Life Protections

Medina v. Planned Parenthood: The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of South Carolina, declaring that the Medicaid Act’s “free‑choice‑of‑provider” clause does not give Planned Parenthood the right to sue in federal court after being disqualified as a provider. Instead, such disputes must go through state administrative channels. This ruling is a decisive win for states seeking to protect life and prevent taxpayer funding of abortion providers.

Mahmoud v. Taylor: The Supreme Court affirmed that parents have the right to opt their children out of public school instruction that conflicts with their deeply held religious beliefs—including content related to gender identity and sexual orientation. This ruling reinforces the biblical role of parents as the primary stewards of their children’s moral and spiritual formation.

These decisions represent a crucial turning point. The tide is shifting—and the Church must be ready.

These rulings are not just legal victories—they’re reminders that faithful presence in the public square makes a difference. Thank you for standing firm. We encourage you to share these wins with your congregations and consider how your church can continue to engage in discipleship.
