NC VALUES COALITION APPLAUDS SUPREME COURT SKRMETTI RULING AND NC’S STAND TO PROTECT CHILDREN AND PARENTAL RIGHTS
RALEIGH, NC — The North Carolina Values Coalition applauds yesterday’s 6–3 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in United States v. Skrmetti, which upheld Tennessee’s law prohibiting life-altering and harmful gender transition drugs and surgeries for minors. The decision affirms the constitutional authority of states to safeguard children from irreversible and experimental treatments. Twenty-six states, including North Carolina, have passed similar laws to protect minors from medical gender transition interventions.
“Children should be protected from harm,” said Tami Fitzgerald, Executive Director of the NC Values Coalition. “And yesterday, the Supreme Court made it clear that states can pass legislation to protect children from harmful gender-transition drugs and surgeries. North Carolina passed such a law in 2023 to stop the medical community from profiting off gender transition interventions that are unproven, irreversible, and damaging to young developing minds and bodies. This decision is a great victory for common sense and for the health and well-being of our nation’s children.”
The North Carolina Values Institute filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court for this case.
