I would think the last thing the left would want is to take a case like this to SCOTUS. A loss here and it is curtains for the left. Unless of course they want to use this as a campaign issue.
yes, that is sarcasm
I fear we could actually lose this. I bet if the SC can find a way to keep it a state issue they will. The SC does not want to go anywhere near this issue.
Normally I'd agree with you that SCOTUS would say custody issues are a state issue. But I believe the good guys are trying to win it with 1st Amendment and 14th Amendment rights (14th Amendment extending to states the religious protection of the 1st Amendment).
From the article (the parents' argument): "No other fit parent should lose custody of their child or face a government muzzle on their deeply held religious beliefs and best judgment."
Um ... in fact, based on her(?) confirmation testimony, Mizzz Justice Brown Jackson SHOULD recuse her(?)self.
So, pseudoscientific medical authorities can invent a non-existent disorder called gender dysphoria and the next thing you know children are being ripped from their families. Another example of the utter destruction wreaked by mental health charlatans. I guess creating mass shooters, Ritalin addicted children and armies of the homeless isn’t enough for this evil profession.
The reason is that the voters of Indiana regularly elect too many RINOs to elective offices. Hoosiers need to clean up their HOP.
HOP = GOP
Indiana Republicans must have fallen asleep to allow this to happen. Didn’t Pence weaken on an LGBT issue when he was governor?

in both chambers and a GOP governor, a bill to prevent this nonsense was killed by the GOP senate leader.
March 14, 2023 - Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray, R-Martinsville, has assigned a controversial bill involving transgender children and the Department of Child Services to the Senate Rules Committee, likely meaning it is dead for the session.
Doctors once treated just about every known malady with leeches.Now when a 10 year old boy declares he’s a girl they chemically castrate him.
Yep. He amended the state's RFRA bill

Senate President Pro Tem David Long, in unveiling the revised law, said it will "unequivocably state that Indiana's (religious freedom) law does not and will not be able to discriminate against anyone, anywhere at any time."
"The amendment means that for the first time an Indiana law will include the language "sexual orientation" and "gender identity."
“Everything else we shall destroy – everything. Already we are breaking down the habits of thought which have survived from before the Revolution. We have cut the links between child and parent, and between man and man, and between man and woman. No one dares trust a wife or a child or a friend any longer. But in the future there will be no wives and no friends. Children will be taken from their mothers at birth, as one takes eggs from a hen. The sex instinct will be eradicated. Procreation will be an annual formality like the renewal of a ration card. We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now. There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother.” ― George Orwell, 1984
People need to start shooting MF’ers. No way in hell they would take one of my kids without a gunfight.

And then physically................
“INDIANA child services took their kid away when they refused to affirm his “gender identity.” Now they are petitioning the Supreme Court.”
THANK GOD this only happens to IDIOTS who live in Blue State. Here in Texas, we’re Red, and only vote Republican, so it can NEVER HAPPEN HERE. For if it could happen here, I’d be trying to help the Indiana case.
The article didn’t state the boy’s age, and 2 yrs have passed since he was removed from his family. I’m sure within those 2 years the damage has been done.
Indiana is a red state.
