U.S. v. Skrmetti

This amicus brief filed in the U.S. Supreme Court case United States v. Jonathan Skrmetti, et al. (No. 23-477), was submitted by Partners for Ethical Care and various individuals, including Kevin and Charmagne Cox, by Mary E. McAlister and Vernadette R. Broyles of the Child & Parental Rights Campaign (CPRC), backing Tennessee respondents and affirmance of the Sixth Circuit’s ruling. The brief defends Tennessee’s law banning gender-modification interventions for minors, arguing that the law protects children from experimental medical interventions, a position consistent with CPRC’s focus on parental rights and child welfare. CPRC’s involvement highlights its opposition to the U.S. government’s challenge, which claims the law violates equal protection and due process, supporting instead the state’s authority to regulate such healthcare practices.
